If you are considering how they interact, consider looking at social and emotional wellbeing and how it is affected. As there would be a range of factors which impounds upon them, certainly at a young age (i.e. negatively looked upon by peers, may not fit in due to social standings/etc) {Although, this really depends upon the type of parenting styles employed and the environment the child is being raised in}. As they become older and understand more of the situation it also may give them a sense of low self-esteem another reason why they may not interact as much.
Try to research some sites about wellbeing, self-esteem, foster parenting/ and the different types of social parenting so as to have some statistics and first hand information to include in your literary review. As the literary review contains information from sources of whereby other people have conducted similiar research. The information gained for the literary review will either aim to support or disprove your hypothesis (a statement of what you plan to find out by conducting your IRP research).
You will also need to strongly consider the implications of researching this topic, as how will you go about conducting your different types of methodologies. As depending on the type of people you survey they may become emotionally upset and find certain questions too personal and invasive of their comfort zone. To overcome this you can create a pilot survey and show you teacher before administrating to a small scale group. Once the people have completed the pilot survey you can then see whether or not the questions are working or need to be refined before creating a full-scale survey.
Another good tip, is to document all your planning and research in a diary to show the steps on how you went about progressing to your initial idea to your final idea on your topic. It also helps to show where you should be up to at each week and allows for you to make any necessary modifications before the due date. --> Seeing as you are using BOS, make reference somewhere in your IRP probably the acknowledgements of how other BOS members helped you with your planning talking you through possible ideas/ etc and helped to fill in your surveys/questionnaires.
