Parent Education for the Critical 1000 Days
by Mary L. NolanAs research in neuroscience increasingly points to the unparalleled influence of the first 1000 days of life from conception to two years of age in determining the baby’s life trajectory, the need for high-quality early parenting education delivered by knowledgeable and dedicated professionals becomes ever more apparent. This book describes the global aims of early parenting education. It identifies the key areas that research suggests are important: building a relationship with the unborn and newborn baby; preparing for labour and birth; supporting parents’ mental health; protecting the couple relationship across the transition to parenthood; and education for special groups such as same-sex couples, women with fear of birth, prisoners, military wives and parents from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. All practitioners providing early parenting programmes – midwives, health visitors, family link workers, children’s centre staff and voluntary sector teachers – will gain new ideas for their practice in this book. Students taking midwifery and early childhood courses will find much to support their studies. Ultimately, the book provides inspiration for all those who are committed to the role of parenting education in reducing social inequalities.

Parental Life Courses after Separation and Divorce in Europe (Life Course Research and Social Policies #12)
by Michaela Kreyenfeld Heike TrappeThis open access book assembles landmark studies on divorce and separation in European countries, and how this affects the life of parents and children. It focuses on four major areas of post-separation lives, namely (1) economic conditions, (2) parent-child relationships, (3) parent and child well-being, and (4) health. Through studies from several European countries, the book showcases how legal regulations and social policies influence parental and child well-being after divorce and separation. It also illustrates how social policies are interwoven with the normative fabric of a country. For example, it is shown that father-child contact after separation is more intense in those countries which have adopted policies that encourage shared parenting. Correspondingly, countries that have adopted these regulations are at the forefront of more egalitarian gender role attitudes. Apart from a strong emphasis on the legal and social policy context, the studies in this volume adopt a longitudinal perspective and situate post-separation behaviour and well-being in the life course. The longitudinal perspective opens up new avenues for research to understand how behaviour and conditions prior or at divorce and separation affect later behaviour and well-being. As such this book is of special appeal to scholars of family research as well as to anyone interested in the role of divorce and separation in Europe in the 21st century.
Parental Obesity: Intergenerational Programming and Consequences
by Lucy R. Green Robert L. HesterIn this book, leading figures in the field of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease provide up-to-date information from human clinical trials, cohorts, and animal physiology experiments to reveal the interdependence between parental obesity and health of the offspring. Obesity of the mother and father produces obesity in their offspring, so we are caught up in an intergenerational cycle, which means that even our children's future health is in peril. This book gives a timely and much-needed synthesis of the mechanisms, potential targets of future interventions, and the challenges that need to be overcome in order to break the intergenerational cycle of obesity. This has profound implications for the way in which scientific, clinical and health policy activities are to be directed in order to combat the so-called epidemic of obesity, as well as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. The book will be of interest to students, clinicians, researchers and health policy makers who are either seeking an introduction to the area of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease or have a specific interest in the pathogenesis of obesity.
Parental Obligations and Bioethics: The Duties of a Creator (Routledge Annals of Bioethics #14)
by Bernard G. PrusakThis book examines the question of what parental obligations procreators incur by bringing children into being. Prusak argues that parents, as procreators, have obligations regarding future children that constrain the liberty of would-be parents to do as they wish. Moreover, these obligations go beyond simply respecting a child’s rights. He addresses in turn the ethics of adoption, child support, gamete donation, surrogacy, prenatal genetic enhancement, and public responsibility for children.

Parenting and Couple Relationships Among LGBTQ+ People in Diverse Contexts
by Normanda Araujo de Morais Fabio Scorsolini-Comin Elder Cerqueira-SantosThis book analyzes how the increasing number of same-sex couples is changing the traditional concepts of family and parenthood, and how these changes affect the psychological studies of family, couple relationships and human development. The majority of chapters included in this contributed volume present results of research conducted with LGBTQ+ people in Brazil, a country where same-sex couples have been recognized by the national legislation since 2011, but is currently facing a conservative wave which threatens much of the victories gained by the LGBTQ+ movement in recent years. That’s why this book aims to provide both updated theoretical and methodological contributions as well as ethically and political engaged reflections to the field of psychological studies of LGBTQ+ parenting and couple relationships. Chapters in this volume analyze different aspects of LGBTQ+ parenting and couple relationships, such as changes in the concept of family; the role of the family of origin in the coming out process of young adults; risk and protective factors in couple relationships between lesbians and gay men; vulnerabilities experienced by trans couples during the COVID-19 pandemic; how lesbians, gays, trans and non-binaries are approaching parenting and raising their families; factors that shape the reproductive decisions of LGBTQ+ individuals; adoption and coparenting in families composed of gay and lesbian couples, among other topics. Parenting and Couple Relationships Among LGBTQ+ People in Diverse Contexts will be of interest to social, developmental and family psychologists and social workers researching and working with same-sex couples and families, and with the LGBTQ+ population in general.
Parenting in Global Perspective: Negotiating Ideologies of Kinship, Self and Politics (Relationships and Resources)
by Charlotte Faircloth Linda L. Layne Diane M. HoffmanDrawing on both sociological and anthropological perspectives, this volume explores cross-national trends and everyday experiences of ‘parenting’. Parenting in Global Perspective examines the significance of ‘parenting’ as a subject of professional expertise, and activity in which adults are increasingly expected to be emotionally absorbed and become personally fulfilled. By focusing the significance of parenting as a form of relationship and as mediated by family relationships across time and space, the book explores the points of accommodation and points of tension between parenting as defined by professionals, and those experienced by parents themselves. Specific themes include: the ways in which the moral context for parenting is negotiated and sustained the structural constraints to ‘good’ parenting (particularly in cases of immigration or reproductive technologies) the relationship between intimate family life and broader cultural trends, parenting culture, policy making and nationhood parenting and/as adult ‘identity-work’. Including contributions on parenting from a range of ethnographic locales – from Europe, Canada and the US, to non-Euro-American settings such as Turkey, Chile and Brazil, this volume presents a uniquely critical and international perspective, which positions parenting as a global ideology that intersects in a variety of ways with the political, social, cultural, and economic positions of parents and families.

Parir (edición actualizada): El poder del parto
by Ibone OlzaParir no es un manual médico, sino un ensayo sobre la experiencia más vital por la que pueda pasar una mujer desde el punto de vista de ella y del bebé. Un análisis de lo que pensamos del parto, lo que sabemos, lo que históricamente ha sido y qué significa en el imaginario colectivo. «Es interesante preguntarse el porqué de todo esto. ¿Por qué el parto tiene semejante intensidad psíquica? ¿Por qué las hormonas que lo dirigen son las mismas que producen la vivencia amorosa? Quiero pensar que la respuesta está ahí, en el amor. El amor entre madres e hijos o hijas, el amor como base de toda la evolución social y comunitaria que ha permitido el fabuloso desarrollo cerebral que produce el lenguaje y la inteligencia humana.Esta es mi propuesta: comprender el parto desde la psicología y las neurociencias. Partiendo de lo que cuentan las mujeres, integrar los relatos de las vivencias del parto con la ayuda de la psicología, la neuroendocrinología o incluso la neuroimagen. Intentemos integrar los datos y profundizar en el sentido último o evolutivo de lo que observamos.»Ibone Olza «Creo que con su excelente libro Ibone arroja luz sobre un tema complicado y controvertido. Y que va a ayudar no solo a las mujeres y a los profesionales de la salud a revisar la aproximación que hacemos al parto, sino que también ayudará en la tarea de recuperar el parto como algo que nos concierne, definitiva y profundamente, a las mujeres.»Del prólogo de Icíar Bollaín
