Indeed, prior research has linked family economic pressure to academic, behavioral, and psychological problems among children. However, most work has been cross-sectional and used family socioeconomic status as an indicator of economic disadvantages. The longitudinal association of family economic pressure with child adjustment and the possible underlying mechanism have been less well-studied, especially among non-Western families with young children. Therefore, using a three-wave, 2-year design, this study examined the longitudinal associations of family economic pressure with child school readiness, externalizing behaviors, and internalizing behaviors among Chinese families and tested mother mindful parenting as a mediator. On three occasions separated by about 6 months, questionnaire data were collected from the mothers of 207 kindergarten children from Hong Kong, China (mean age of children at Time 1 = 4.98 years; 52% of them were girls). Mothers rated their family conditions, their parenting practices, and their children's adjustment. Path analysis showed that family economic pressure was associated with decreases in child school readiness and increases in child externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Moreover, decreases in mother mindful parenting partially mediated the longitudinal associations of family economic pressure with child school readiness and externalizing behaviors. Theoretically, findings highlighted the role of mindful parenting in understanding the possible implications of family economic pressure. Practically, findings pointed to the potential utility of targeting mindful parenting to support economically disadvantaged families.

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.

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.

This study focuses on affect anchored to the parenting context (i.e., daily emotional exhaustion, emotional distance from children, and feeling fed up) to assess whether the way parenting affect fluctuates relates to dysfunction: parental burnout severity. 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.

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 2024. 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.

Symbolic interactionism theory and prior literature point to perinatal grief as one potential predictor. Thus, our objective was to examine how perinatal grief of either couple member relates longitudinally to both couple members' sexual well-being after a pregnancy loss. We conducted multilevel structural equation modeling assessing whether fluctuations in perinatal grief were associated with fluctuations in sexual well-being for oneself and a partner among 109 couples who experienced a pregnancy loss in the past 4 months and who completed four monthly surveys. We also tested whether those with the highest average perinatal grief had the lowest average sexual well-being. When either partner reported greater than typical perinatal grief, both couple members reported lower than typical sexual satisfaction and sexual desire, and higher than typical sexual function problems and sexual distress. Those with the highest average perinatal grief had the lowest average sexual satisfaction and highest average sexual function problems and sexual distress. Higher perinatal grief may be a risk factor for lower sexual well-being. Couples who grieve effectively postloss may better manage sexual challenges. Practitioners can screen couples for perinatal grief as they assess impacts to sexuality, refer them to grief resources to promote sexual well-being, and invite them to discuss how meanings around sex may have changed postloss.

Simultaneously, a unique subset of researchers is investigating RS practices of parents of Black-White biracial children (Csizmadia et al., 2014; Stone & Dolbin-MacNab, 2017). The dearth of research examining intraparental dyadic communication makes it clear that there is a need to continue examining the RS dialogue between romantically involved couples rearing Black and biracial children as an extension of parenting (Jones & Neblett, 2019). Using elements of phenomenological inquiry (Spigelberg, 1982), the present study investigated one facet of parenting decisions regarding RS: division of labor (DOL) in romantically involved parenting dyads. Themes included approaches to DOL, factors influencing DOL, and navigation of coparenting dynamics as well as related subthemes and focused codes. Further analyses suggested that despite racial structures, parents of Black and biracial youth are social agents in the RS process; their intraparental dyadic conversations impact their DOL practices and parenting dynamics. Regardless of the role played in the RS conversation, every parent in the present study described feeling supported and providing support in relaying RS messages with their coparenting partner. Unique findings were present among interracial dyads (e.g., racialized upbringing) and mothers and fathers (e.g., balancing one another). Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.

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.
