A global goal for early childhood education and care is to ensure universal, “quality” provision that reaches all children. Achieving this goal requires a well-prepared workforce that is equipped to adapt to and deliver early childhood programs across the vastly diverse contexts and communities where children are growing up around the world.

In recent years, mindfulness-based practices in grade schools have been associated with students’ improved cognitive skills and general classroom behavior. In the majority of studies, however, only teacher and parent feedback are elicited, omitting a considerably significant voice – that of the students.

In contemporary society, fewer adults marry than in previous generations. It is also true that there have been increases in the number of non-marital births. The combination of these demographic trends mean that large numbers of fathers live apart from their children and are at risk for disengagement as a result of the conflict that characterizes many co-parenting relationships. In response, there

Researchers have become increasingly interested in deepening their understanding of the role of social environments in alexithymia—a difficulty in identifying one’s and others’ emotions—suggesting the importance of an in-depth study of the interplay with perceived parental practices.

“Don’t Bring Work Home”: How Career Orientation Moderates Permeable Parenting Boundaries in Dual-earner Couples J. Child Fam. Stud. (IF 2.278) Pub Date : 2022-03-30 Marisa Matias, Tiago Ferreira, Paula Mena Matos
Having parenting boundaries permeated by work, expressed in bringing work home and dealing with work-related issues while performing the parental role can relate to increasing levels of work-family-conflict. This association, however, might be influenced by inter-individual differences in the meanings associated with work (career role orientation). To investigate these links we conducted a dyadic two-wave

Little is known regarding how family racial structure and income intersect to produce health outcomes. We assessed infant health outcomes (weeks gestation and first year infant mortality rates (IMR)) by family racial structure (specific race group affiliation, and whether multiracial), examining the degree to which income (insurance type as proxy) interacts with family racial composition to predict
