To examine the racial socialization practices of White fathers with their biological Black and White biracial sons.
Background
Socializing children of color to live in a society where they may experience discrimination is an essential part of parenting. This may be challenging for White fathers with Black biracial sons because of their different lived experiences, which can be harmful to their sons.
Method
A phenomenological approach was used to conduct 10 in-depth, semistructured interviews with a sample of White fathers with biological Black biracial sons. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
Results
Four racial socialization practices were identified: (a) talking to son about his racial/cultural heritages, (b) exposing son to his racial/cultural heritages, (c) exposing son to environments that are diverse, and (d) talking to son about discrimination.
Conclusion
Family professionals can work with White fathers to help them overcome any challenges they may encounter to socialize their Black biracial sons to navigate society as a man of color.
Implications
Family practitioners and school personnel can promote and encourage the attendance of parenting programs that focus on discussing discrimination with children and strategies parents can use to develop a healthy multiracial identity in children. Religious leaders can encourage diversity with International Day celebrations and facilitate discussions with congregants about racial inequality.

Objective
The aim of the current preregistered cross-sectional study was to examine whether in parents with high anxious (characterized with a negative model of self), dismissing (characterized with a negative model of others), and fearful attachment styles (characterized with a negative model of self and of others), the link between parental burnout and violence toward the offspring is stronger.
Background
Past research has shown that parental burnout exacerbates violence toward the offspring, but the correlation is not perfect (r = .49), which suggests that not all parents in burnout out are violent, and that moderators might therefore be at play.
Method
Participants (N = 794) answered an online questionnaires one time, through Prolific. Parental burnout, violence, and attachment styles were measured through the Parental Burnout Assessment, the Parental Violence Scale, and the Relationship Questionnaire. Multiple regression analyses were performed to test the moderating role of anxious, dismissing, and fearful attachment styles.
Results
Parental burnout and all attachment styles are significantly related to violence. However, only fearful attachment style significantly potentiated the relation between parental burnout and violence.
Conclusion
In parents with high fearful attachment style, the link between parental burnout and violence toward the offspring is stronger. Results are discussed in light of the role of internal models of self and others.
Implications
Anxious, dismissing, and fearful attachment styles should systematically be investigated when dealing with burnt out parents, as some may be associated with a higher risk of violence toward the offspring.

Objective
This study explored sibling relationships from the perspective of children with Williams syndrome (WS) and their nondisabled (ND) siblings.
Background
WS, a genetic condition with a profile that can include intellectual disabilities, hypersociability and anxiety, might be predicted to impact sibling relationships, but this has not been qualitatively explored from the children's perspective.
Methods
Thirty-nine children (6–17 years; 20 male, 19 female) participated: 20 sibling dyads in which one child had WS and the other was ND (one child with WS did not participate). Children were interviewed about experiences of their relationship. Data were analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis.
Results
Siblings described multifaceted relationships, in which love and positivity were overtly evident and embedded in the reciprocity of sibling expertise and support. Children skillfully navigated the spaces and boundaries of their relationship across home, school, and friendship contexts, with parent support. ND siblings' knowledge of WS supported interactions, relationships, and advocacy, but some children with WS felt their sibling lacked knowledge of the challenges of WS.
Conclusions
The WS profile was woven through multidimensional relationships.
Implications
Findings have implications for how parents are supported to help siblings navigate relationships and learn about WS, and how schools support WS sibling relationships.

Objectives
This qualitative study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of mothers' experiences of uncertainty in parenting 13- and 17-month-old toddlers.
Background
The transition to parenthood is universally acknowledged as a challenging period, particularly for first-time mothers, with societal expectations emphasizing perfection in childcare. This study explores specific uncertainties faced by Czech mothers in caring for toddlers.
Method
A thematic analysis was conducted after individual semistructured interviews conducted during home visits between 2016 and 2018 with 90 Czech women whose children were aged between 13 and 17 months.
Results
Five overarching themes and 13 subthemes reflecting how Czech mothers experienced feelings of uncertainty in parenting their toddlers were identified: (a) uncertainties connected to a purposefulness in parenting, (b) uncertainties connected to fulfilling physical needs, (c) dealing with current parenting issues, (d) uncertainties connected to the mother's characteristics and her family relationships, (e) uncertainties connected to developing the child.
Conclusion
This study contributes to early motherhood literature by detailing uncertainties experienced by Czech mothers during the toddlerhood phase.
Implications
Our study illuminates the uncertainties experienced by Czech mothers during early toddlerhood, emphasizing the need for counsellors to renegotiate societal ideals of motherhood, foster resilience in parent–child relationships, and embrace uncertainties as natural aspects of parenting.

Objective
To understand how parents and adolescents perceive the major family problems they faced during a global pandemic, focusing on implications for family resilience.
Background
Families are challenged by the upheaval in contemporary life due to a global health pandemic and unrelenting changes to work, school, civic, and home routines. Family resilience theory guided our understanding of how families perceive and understand the problems they faced during a major disruption in their lives.
Method
A diverse sample of parent–adolescent pairs was surveyed at two points in time. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze open-ended questions asking about family members' perceptions of the major problems they faced as a family during the pandemic.
Results
Most participants reported a major family problem during the pandemic (e.g., unemployment, online learning, isolation, fear of COVID-19), with financial issues being the most prevalent problem. Parents were more likely to identify a major family tension, compared with adolescents, who were more likely to say they were unaware of any major family problems.
Conclusion
Parents and adolescents reported substantial family stress and tension, especially around financial strain and social isolation, indicating their heightened awareness of the new risks they were facing. Both parents and adolescents also described a willingness to pull together on behalf of family well-being and adaptation.
Implications
Support mechanisms through public policy and from family life practitioners can help families navigate pandemic-related stressors, assess adverse events in adolescence, promote new pathways in navigating disrupted routines, and enhance family resilience.

Objective
The purpose of the current study was to examine whether immigration-related stress is associated with reduced positive parenting and whether this association is mediated by depressive symptoms in undocumented Central American immigrant mothers.
Background
In the context of “illegality,” parents can face myriad stressors related to their immigration status, which may lead to heightened emotions, including depressed mood. These experiences may affect family life, including the ways in which immigrant mothers parent their children.
Method
This study examined survey data generated in 2016–2017 by researchers using a community-based participatory action research approach in partnership with Central American immigrant mothers residing in the Washington, DC, region. The sample for this study included 117 undocumented Central American immigrant mothers of children aged 3 to 11 years.
Results
Controlling for age of child, mother's education, and relationship status, analyses revealed that immigration-related stress was associated with heightened levels of depressive symptoms for mothers. However, mothers' symptoms of depression were not associated with positive parenting. Additionally, no association between immigration-related stress and positive parenting was found.
Conclusions
Findings suggest that mothers, although affected by immigration-related stress in terms of their own mood symptoms, may deploy mechanisms such as parental self-sacrifice to protect their children from anti-immigrant harms.
Implications
Findings hold implications for future research, including research approaches, and practice.

Objective
The goal was to explore how families communicate to cope with hereditary cancer conditions and identify factors that may enhance resilience and recommended decision-making.
Background
Families with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome (HBOC), Lynch syndrome (LS), and Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have an increased lifetime risk of developing cancer. We use the communication theory of resilience (CTR) to examine how families engage in resilience and make health decisions about hereditary cancer risks over time.
Method
We conducted 42 dyadic interviews with families with HBOC, LS, and LFS. Themes emerged through qualitative analysis for each of the resilience processes outlined by CTR (crafting normalcy, communication networks, identity anchors, alternative logics, and foregrounding productive action while legitimizing negative feelings), illustrating how family members manage stressors associated with hereditary cancer over time.
Results
Participants described enacting each of the five CTR processes to manage the acute and chronic stressors associated with hereditary cancer. We described themes that emerged within each of the five resilience processes.
Conclusion
Findings demonstrate the ways in which families managing hereditary cancer risks enact resilience processes and how these processes may have a complex relationship to coping and medical decision-making.
Implications

Joining efforts to reveal how fathers affect their children's social competence, we examined whether fathers' rejection sensitivity was associated with biases in their children's social information processing. We also explored whether this link was indirect via biases in fathers' social information processing of their children's peer interactions and, in particular, fathers' behavioral responses.
Background
Children's social information processing biases predict their social competence and well-being. Studies have explored how mothers' rejection sensitivity may impact children's social information processing. Yet, little is known about the role of fathers in this context.
Method
Participants were 85 fathers living in Israel (68.24% Jewish; 31.76% Arab) and their kindergarten children (55.29% female; MChild age in months = 68.70, SD = 5.59). Fathers completed the Adult Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire and reported their attributions, emotions, and likely behaviors in ambiguous hypothetical scenarios that might suggest a rejection of their child by peers using the Peer Rejection Scenarios measure. Children were interviewed using the Social Information Processing Interview–Preschool Version, tapping hypothetical peer interactions.
Results
Fathers' rejection sensitivity was indirectly related to children's generation of maladaptive responses to ambiguous peer interactions through fathers' reports of their more negative emotions and overinvolved behavioral responses.
Conclusion
Results underscore the role of fathers' rejection sensitivity and emotional and behavioral responses in children's social information processing.
Implications
The study points to the need to consider paternal rejection sensitivity in research and interventions focused on promoting children's social competence.

Objective
This study sought to understand the prospective relationship between parents' jobs, parenting, and adolescents' subsequent school performance.
Background
Recent research shows that parents' poor job quality and work–family conflict (WFC) are adversely associated with young people's mental health and socioemotional well-being, with much less known about impacts on adolescents' academic outcomes.
Method
We used data from a nationally representative Australian cohort study to test a longitudinal model linking parents' job characteristics, WFC, and parenting warmth and irritability in early high school, and adolescents' academic achievement in middle high school. Separate models were run for mothers (N = 2,676) and fathers (N = 2,615), and additional multigroup models examined differences between low-income and middle- and high-income parents.
Results
Findings suggest that parents' WFC increases parenting irritability, which in turn is adversely associated with academic outcomes, particularly for low-income mothers. Findings also showed that low-income fathers' WFC was directly associated with poorer academic outcomes.
Conclusion
Parents' WFC in early high school may affect adolescents' achievement in middle high school, with some risks compounded for low-income households.
Implications
This study is among the first to establish a relationship between parents' WFC and adolescents' academic performance and highlights the importance of parents' job resources in supporting adolescent academic outcomes.

Objective
The primary aim of the present study was to explore the associations among COVID-19 distress, maternal parenting practices (e.g., adaptive and maladaptive parenting), COVID-19 exposure, and emotional problems of preschoolers (ages 3 to 6) in Chinese culture.
Background
In the current study, we focused on Shanghai kindergarteners who, due to the complete COVID-19 citywide lockdown, experienced an interruption in learning and social interaction.
Method
Participants were 382 mothers of children (Mage = 5.49 years, SD = 0.62; 53.4% boys) from one kindergarten in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Upon obtaining consent, mothers completed the measures (administered via an online survey website) of COVID-19 exposure, COVID-19 distress, and maternal parenting practices and child's emotional problems.
Results
Our main finding showed that the relation between COVID-19 exposure and children's emotional problems is serially explained by COVID-19 distress and maladaptive parenting.
Conclusion
The COVID-19 pandemic has induced and exacerbated a variety of stressors that impact mothers' parenting behavior, which in turn exacerbated child emotional problems.
Implications
This research adds to our understanding of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Chinese families.
