The importance of addressing health and social inequities is never more critical than in the early years of a child's life.

This paper describes the development of a framework for the adaptation of community-based CFH service models. Drawing on the findings of an integrative review and Delphi study, Participatory Action Research was used to test the framework, resulting in the Framework for Collaborative Adaptation of Service Models for Child and Family Health in Diverse Settings (CASCADES). The Framework uses the analogy of a waterfall to represent the iterative process of collecting information to inform each step. The framework supports a collaborative co-design approach to build a comprehensive understanding of the target community to inform the adaptation and evaluation of evidence-based interventions appropriate to the local context.

'Managing an unexpected life' was the central concept when parents recounted ongoing efforts to address the emotional and practical effects of their child's condition on their life and that of their family. Analysis revealed three main distinct but interrelated themes within the concept of 'Managing an unexpected life' helping us enhance our understanding of parents' experiences: 'Striving for normality', 'Becoming the expert' and 'Fighting for your child'.

These themes centred on parental ambitions for their children, their perceptions of their child's abilities, and the parenting behaviours employed to support parental aspirations. Parents' actions were influenced by their ambitions and the belief that they could impact their child's future independence. While some parents adopted 'trusting', non-intensive parenting behaviours, those anticipating challenges for their child's future independence resorted to intensive parenting practices. These findings align with the concept of parental determinism, emphasising the perceived causal link between present parental actions and future child outcomes.
