However, despite the importance of children's conscious use of the internet and parental guidance, the awareness and needs of parents in this area have not been…

Purpose: This study was conducted to fill gaps in the literature based on institution type, career level, and gender identity. Design/methodology/approach: Faculty often struggle with achieving work-life balance. This struggle is exacerbated for faculty parents. Most academic parent research has been conducted on early-career women and at…

Prior theoretical and empirical research has highlighted links between positive parenting and the socioeconomic characteristics of the family's neighborhood, but has yet to illuminate the etiologic origins of this association. One possibility is that the various predictors of parenting outlined by Belsky (1984; e.g., characteristics of the child,…

Compliance is an important skill of social competence for young children as it reflects children's ability to understand others' expectations and to display cooperative behaviors.

However, little research has explored parental mindsets and support (e.g., transportation) surrounding their child's motor skills and how it may predict motor competence.

Home-rearing environment (HRE) at an early age has a longitudinal effect on the development of children's self-control.

This paper investigates the experiences of eight mothers…

Although the role of the home in supporting early childhood development, early learning and school outcomes is well established, the perspectives of caregivers on child development and schooling outcomes are comparatively underexplored. This qualitative study was conducted with caregivers of children aged 6-10 years in Mahikeng, South Africa and…

Although there is robust evidence of the benefits of attachment-based parenting interventions, limited research has examined their impact on dyadic mutuality and toddler behavior problems. Given the central question in prevention research of what works for whom, and the documented relation of maternal psychological risk to parenting and…

Extensive research has established that fathers' engagement in parenting benefits children, but few studies have described how fathers contribute to child development even before birth. In this article, we consider both direct and indirect pathways through which expectant fathers shape child development during the prenatal period. Regarding direct…
