Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK
Overview
• Parenting Culture
• Parenting in Political Context
• Parenting and Poverty
• Measures of parenting
• Data - Relationship with poverty, education and time
• Conclusions
Parenting Culture
• Increased profile of parenting: ‘tiger mothers’
feckless fathers’, ‘helicopter parents’
• Intensive motherhood (Hays 1996)
• Paranoid parenting (Furedi 2001)
Parenting in Political Context
• Cycle of deprivation (1970s)
• Focus on family structure (1980s)
• Shift to parenting practices (1990s)
• Individualised discourse (current)
Parenting versus Poverty
• “the right kind of parenting is a bigger influence on their
[children’s] future than wealth, class, education or any
other common social factor” (Allen 2011: pxiv)
• “It is family background, parental education, good
parenting and the opportunities for learning and
development…that together matter more to children than
money” (Field 2010:p5)
• Troubled Families programme (launched 2011). Directed
at 120,000 families with ‘troubled and chaotic lives’
Measuring Parenting
• “We all know what good parenting looks like” (David
Cameron 2010)
• Parenting includes:
Parenting style
Quality of parent-child relationship
Direct parent-child activities
General caring activities
Parenting Practices
• “Activities that parents undertake with their child(ren) which
have a positive effect on their development, such as reading
with their child, teaching songs and nursery rhymes, painting
and drawing, playing with letters and numbers, visiting the
library, teaching the alphabet and numbers, and creating
regular opportunities for them to play with their friends at
home” (Field 2010:93)
• Five “small, manageable steps”: Talk to your child (with the
television off) for 20 minutes; play with your child on the floor
for 10 minutes; read to your child for 15 minutes; provide good
nutrition; offer positive praise (Paterson 2011:6)

Parents with young children (28%) Parents with older children (11%)
Average parent (37%) Highly educated (24%)
Conclusions
• No evidence for group of parents who fail to
participate in high profile parent-child
activities
• Rethink assumptions about existence of group
of ‘poor parents’ doing ‘poor parenting’
• Focus analysis on the top of the social scale
and the ‘unusual’ practices of these parents
