This study aimed to characterize empowerment for parents of trans and gender diverse children and adolescents from their lived experiences. To accomplish this, a qualitative design was implemented using reflexive thematic analysis to describe what the lived experience of empowerment is for N = 18 (12 mothers and six fathers) Australian parents of trans children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Four primary themes best described the accounts offered by the participants, with empowerment consisting of (1) having knowledge and information, (2) advocating for their child or adolescent, (3) experiencing a sense of belonging to an accepting community, and (4) experiencing support and help from professionals and systems. These findings support establishing high-quality, easy-to-access, and understandable informational resources for parents and better education and training of professionals and organizations to enhance the empowerment of parents of trans children and adolescents.

We focus on three specific patterns (i.e., affective dynamic indices): inertia (i.e., persistence across days), variation (i.e., magnitude of change), and covariation (i.e., whether affect variables fluctuate together). We reanalyzed multiple data sets (from Belgium and the United States) yielding 180 parents who had rated their parenting affect daily for either 3 or 8 weeks. We computed a regression model with all affective indices as predictors (controlling for mean levels), with parental burnout severity as the outcome variable. Results indicate that inertia of emotional distance predicts parental burnout severity across most sensitivity models (i.e., even with varied operationalizations of affective indices). No other temporal pattern (i.e., variation or covariation) robustly predicted parental burnout severity, although the mean levels of emotional distance and emotional exhaustion did. Results from sensitivity analyses emphasize that operationalization choices for affective indices can yield varying values and impact results.

Recently, there has been an increased societal interest in intentional multiparent families, where more than two adults are actively involved in coparenting a child, yet little research has explored experiences within these families. This study addresses this gap, exploring the way in which parenting roles and responsibilities are negotiated within lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning intentional three-parent families in the United Kingdom. This article draws upon a unique data set of three-parent families, including interviews with 12 lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning parents in four families in the United Kingdom. Data were analyzed using a novel analytical approach, qualitative triadic analysis, which allows for the analysis of participants' experiences at an individual and family level. Family systems theory and the underutilized theoretical concept of emotional triangles were used to make sense of the data. Three themes were identified in the data, all addressing the research question \"How do three-parent families negotiate parenting roles and responsibilities?\" Findings highlight that participants managed their parenting arrangement in two different ways, either sharing parenting responsibilities equally or dividing parenting roles, with primary and secondary caregivers taking on different responsibilities. Participants discussed the importance of flexibility and communication in managing their arrangement and all participants reported positive coparenting relationships. This study has a number of implications: Methodologically and theoretically, this study highlights the usefulness of systemic qualitative approaches to studying diverse families. Legally, findings highlight the restrictiveness of two-parent models.

We know little about (a) how these economic risks impact families with preschool children, that is, the health of parents, the behavior of their children, and their relationships, and (b) the necessary family resources that support them. We utilized the Family Stress Model and multisystemic resilience theory to examine the effects of economic hardship on families with preschoolers who recently experienced an earthquake, focusing on ways to enhance their resilience. This study used an exploratory, data-driven statistical approach to analyze cross-sectional data from 377 families (children's age range = 4-6) that experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Türkiye in February 2023. Economic risk showed a direct relationship with problematic child behavior, which was associated with parental depression and the child-parent relationship, which provides additional perspectives on the Family Stress Model. Higher levels of economic hardship were associated with significantly lower levels of most family resources, with meaning making following adversity acting as a mediator for these effects. A combination of family communication, problem solving, and social and economic resources was identified as important for all family members, while lower levels of family spirituality were additionally important for children's resilience. Because most family resources were directly associated with parental depression, interventions should prioritize supporting parents so they can, in turn, better care for their young children. Future research utilizing the Family Stress Model should examine potential bidirectional effects between parental health and child behavior, particularly in disaster contexts.

This longitudinal, preregistered study combines the Family Stress Model with Masten's Developmental Systems Resilience Framework to examine how economic hardship during the early months of the pandemic was associated with children's directly assessed cognitive skills 2-3 years later in a socioeconomically diverse sample of 249 parent-child dyads via financial stress, parental mental health symptoms, and autonomy-supportive and controlling parenting behaviors. Additionally, we tested direct associations between family cohesion and children's cognitive skills to investigate whether family cohesion served as a compensatory factor. Results partially supported the Family Stress Model, showing that economic hardship was associated with higher financial stress, which in turn was associated with heightened depressive and anxiety symptoms. Although parents' mental health challenges did not mediate the link between economic stress and parenting behaviors, lower household income was directly associated with less autonomy-supportive parenting observed during a homework help task. Autonomy-supportive parenting was linked to higher executive functions in children, whereas controlling parenting was linked to lower math and receptive vocabulary skills a year later. Importantly, family cohesion served as a compensatory factor, supporting children's executive function and receptive vocabulary skills. These findings highlight the critical role of family cohesion for children's cognitive development during periods of disruption, emphasizing the importance of close family interactions for fostering resilience in children amid adversity.

Utilizing the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, this study included 3,003 fathers and mothers who were interviewed when the focal child was 3 years old. An actor-partner interdependence model was employed to include both actor and partner effects. Results indicate a negative association between positive coparenting perceptions and parental stress for both mothers and fathers, with no significant partner effects observed. Further analysis using actor-partner interdependence model mediation models revealed that maternal parenting stress mediated the relationship between mother's perception of positive coparenting and child social skills, while no direct or indirect effects were found for father's perception of positive coparenting. These findings identify the role of positive coparenting on parenting stress within a dyadic family system and highlight roles of maternal factors in child social skills.

Hence, it is reasonable that the individual trait of Environmental Sensitivity (ES), capturing individual differences in sensitivity and responsivity to stimuli, holds important implications for parenting. Available evidence suggests that a higher sensitivity to stimuli in parents is mainly a risk factor, but studies are limited for the majority to self-report measures of parenting. Across two independent observational studies involving Italian parents, we investigated the role of ES in parenting during the first year of a child life. In Study 1 (N = 41 mothers and infants tracked from 3 to 9 months), a higher ES initially linked to slightly higher parental intrusiveness at 3 months but shifted to less intrusive behaviors by 9 months. No other ES-parenting associations emerged. In Study 2 (N = 55 mothers of children aged 3 months old), findings showed that a higher ES was associated with less attuned parenting behaviors and more parental stress only in the copresence of parental adverse childhood experiences, with a vulnerability effect. In the same sample, a higher ES was associated with more adaptive parental responses to the child, particularly when respiratory sinus arrhythmia, capturing physiological self-regulation, was higher. To conclude, ES was not related to worse parental competences, but rather it made mothers more receptive to environmental (adverse childhood experiences) and inner physiological (respiratory sinus arrhythmia) factors, for better and for worse. We discuss implications for parenting programs and new direction of studies.

The effects of divorce on young children have been studied extensively, revealing psychological, emotional, and mental difficulties, and increased relationship troubles. Yet knowledge about the effect of late-life divorce on adult children's perception of marital/romantic relationships in societies that value self-determination alongside strong family ties is lacking. Accordingly, we examine the consequences of parents' late-life divorce on their adult children's experiences and perceptions of marital/romantic relationships, from the perspective of both generations in the family, in Israel. Semistructured, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted separately with 51 participants (28 adult children; 23 parents) composed of seven family units (n = 33) and nine parent-child dyads (n = 18) and analyzed using thematic analysis and dyadic analysis. The two themes identified were adult children's shattered concept of marriage and the lessons they learned from their parents' marriage and late-life divorce and apply to their own marital/romantic relationships. Findings within both themes revealed a gap between generations regarding awareness of the long-term consequences of late-life divorce on adult children's romantic relationships. Implications include raising the awareness of families and therapists to these consequences. Developing constructive communication may enable both generations to beneficially process emotions and perception.
