Physical activity can help address the varied needs and interests of care-experienced children and young people and become a tool to manage mental health and well-being challenges. Growing research has explored the positive influence that physical activity can have on the lives of care-experienced children and young people, however, the literature has mainly focused on the barriers and enablers of engagement in physical activity. Though there is a growing amount of work in this area, there remains a need for further research that explores the influence that physical activity can have on the mental health and well-being of care-experienced children and young people. A narrative review was conducted to explore the qualitative literature that has captured the influence of physical activity on care-experienced children and young people’s mental health and well-being, including what has been meaningful and why. Additionally, exploring qualitative research has helped to prioritise care experienced children and young people’s voices, which tend to be overshadowed by the views of researchers, carers, or social care professionals. The findings of the review report that physical activity can influence the mental health and well-being of care-experienced children and young people by providing meaningful enjoyment, and the development of relational trust, skills, and emotional regulation. Further research is needed to provide a thorough representation of the changeable and long-term influence of physical activity on the mental health and well-being of care-experienced children and young people, whilst prioritising their voices.","PeriodicalId":35141,"journal":{"name":"Child Care in Practice","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136012634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breastfeeding has well-established benefits to the baby and the mother, particularly in the context of social disadvantage. Although breastfeeding is a right, no information is available regarding the degree of breastfeeding promotion and support at child daycare centers in Argentina.Research aim: To describe knowledge, policies, operational conditions and staff training needs for the promotion and support of breastfeeding practices at child daycare centers in Argentina.Method: Exploratory cross-sectional quantitative study using a self-administered survey sent to respondents via email. All 24 provinces of Argentina were invited to participate. A list of provincial child daycare centers was obtained and a survey was sent to the directors of those centers where data were collected about infrastructure and resources, policies, staff training and breastfeeding promotion practices.Results: Five provinces participated. Sixty-four percent (73/114) of centers responded the survey provided. Eighty-two percent have a breastfeeding room. Twenty-nine percent receive breast milk. Only 20% train their staff on breast milk handling. Only 5% have breastfeeding policies in place.Conclusion: Although there is an adequate national regulatory framework, there is still a need to work on the implementation of concrete measures to guarantee the right to breastfeed in the specific setting of child daycare centers.KEYWORDS: Infantbreast feedingchild daycare centershealth promotionsocial vulnerability.

This included open access provision becoming closed access and bookable, a reduction in the number of children, resources, and space to play, and increased cleaning. As part of a longitudinal study, now one year how are open access settings (adventure playgrounds and mobile play provision) and closed access settings (breakfast clubs, after-school clubs, and holiday playschemes) operating? An online survey was completed by 42 participants, 31 who ran closed access and 11 who ran open-access settings. Results indicated that all settings were running the same number of days and hours pre-March lockdown, however, fewer children are attending with a smaller number of staff, this being more noticeable within closed access settings. It appears the open access adventure playgrounds are operating as they were pre-March 2020 lockdown, however, the closed access childcare provision, e.g. after-school clubs are still running as they were in July 2020. Although funding has been made available to support aspects such as extra cleaning, playwork settings are concerned with being able to open and continue to operate.","PeriodicalId":35141,"journal":{"name":"Child Care in Practice","volume":"49 1","pages":"420 - 443"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this online conference event was to initiate critical discussion and debates about opportunities and challenges for the application of biographical research methods during COVID-19 lockdowns with regards to data collection, analysis, interpretation and ethics. This initial introduction spawned further dialogues between the editors throughout 2021 about the impacts of COVID-19 on youth, and possibilities for further extending these discussions into a special issue that would capture young people’s experiences of hard times, not alone during the recent COVID-19 pandemic but also in relation to homelessness, family relationships, emotions, education and war. This special issue represents the culmination of these critical discussions amongst us as editors, with authors and with colleagues in Ireland, Portugal, the UK, Denmark and Ukraine, about ways of thinking and observing emotionally turbulent times, structural constraints and (self)care dynamics in young people’s “life histories, lived situations and personal experiences” (Wengraf, 2011, p. 1). The term “hard times” itself, potentially at the origin of biographical crises (Caetano, 2021), is multidimensional, and the process of conducting depth research with youth experiencing difficult moments, be it emotionally, physically or financially (or indeed, all three simultaneously), is ethically challenging and is frequently a sensitive and emotionally fraught process for researchers. The meaning of hard times as applied to young people’s lives is contextual and temporal; pejoratively speaking, it evokes Dickensian overtones of brutalised childhoods and adolescence, while for sociologists it frequently connotes economic hardships (Lim & Laurence, 2015; Thébaud & Sharkey, 2016), austerity (Allen, 2016), precarity (Horton et al., 2021), experiences of criminality, gang culture (Foote-Whyte, 1981), and various types of emotional crises, mistrust and traumas spawning from parental neglect, physical and sexual abuse (Tsui et al., 2010). The complexity of young people’s everyday experiences in difficult social conditions pertaining to housing, migration and economic marginalisation are well highlighted in recent biographical research (Farrugia, 2021; Mayock & Parker, 2021; McGarry, 2021). Internationally, this field yields rich insights into the complexity of young people’s experiences in late modernity, showing the multidimensionality of the concept of youth (Cuervo et al., 2023; Pabian & Vandebosch, 2021; Renzaho et al., 2017). Social change processes and transitions are also key to understanding young people and how they go through difficult moments in their lives (Furlong & Cartmel, 2007; Irwin & Nilsen, 2018; Woodman & Wyn, 2015).
