This paper is based on qualitative interviews with younger and older mothers and examines how they construct and present themselves as good mothers in relation to dominant discourses of good motherhood. Here I will focus on presenting my analysis of how mothers’ moral maternal selves are articulated across interconnected sites of difference such as class, gender, age at first birth and employment. My investigation of the moral work undertaken by mothers looks at their comparisons with other mothers, their experiences of ‘shared’ parenting and of combining mothering with paid work.

The Important Work of the MS Educator
This document summarizes a study on the experience of violence among Southern Appalachian adolescent females. It finds that for the 10 participants, episodes of violence occurred contextually and experientially.

Teenage pregnancy
- Teenage pregnancy is a growing public health issue, with 16 million adolescent girls becoming mothers each year in low and middle income countries. It can have serious medical risks for both mother and baby.
- Social factors that contribute to teenage pregnancy include lack of parental guidance, lack of sex education and access to contraception, cultural pressures, and early marriage. Ensuring girls receive an education through adolescence reduces risks of early pregnancy and marriage.
- Government programs in Malaysia aim to support teenage mothers by providing schooling, healthcare, job training, and adoption services to help break the cycle of poverty. Educating both youth and parents is key to addressing this complex issue.

This document discusses safe motherhood and its contribution to achieving Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 of reducing child mortality and improving maternal health. It provides background on maternal mortality rates being highest in Africa. Every minute, a woman dies during labor or delivery from preventable causes. While developed countries have made commitments to improving women's and children's health, many developing countries still face challenges in ensuring safe deliveries and adequate utilization of health services, especially for adolescent mothers. Progress on maternal health goals varies across countries in the Southeast Asia region. Concerted efforts are still needed to intensify actions to save mothers' and children's lives.
Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger to provide contraception and other health services to women. It has grown to become a major provider of reproductive health care, sex education, and information in the United States and internationally. Planned Parenthood operates over 800 health centers nationwide and advocates for policies that enable access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care. While it takes a more liberal stance on issues like abortion rights and contraception, Planned Parenthood describes itself as supporting the original constitutional rights of individuals to make private reproductive choices.
Responsible parenthood
This document discusses responsible parenthood, including its concept, components, importance, parenting styles, and stages. Responsible parenthood refers to being responsive to a child's needs and committed to their well-being and development. There are three main parenting styles described - authoritarian (strict obedience), permissive (few rules), and authoritative (balance of control and autonomy). Responsible parenting is important because parents are their child's primary teachers and influencers. There are six stages of responsible parenthood from pregnancy to a child's departure from the home.
Puberty
This document discusses puberty and precocious puberty in females. It defines puberty as the physiological phase of development lasting 2 to 5 years where the genital organs mature. Signs of puberty in females include menarche, development of secondary sex characteristics, physical development, and psychological changes. Precocious puberty is defined as the appearance of any secondary sex characteristics before age 8. The document discusses the types, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of precocious puberty. The treatment aims to arrest maturation until the normal age while maximizing adult height.
Responsible parenthood
Vincent and Susie have 6 children ages 8, 7, 5, 3, 2, and 2 months. Vincent works hard as a carpenter but also does other jobs, while Susie complains that there is never enough food or time. Most of the children have stopped school to work in fields. The doctor told Susie not to have more children as her health is poor. They did not plan family size due to customs. Responsible parenthood considers the parental role in guiding children, emotional readiness, building family relationships, and having knowledge to rear children well.
Parenting ppt
The document discusses different parenting styles. Authoritative parenting is recommended as it encourages independence while still setting limits through explanation. Authoritarian parenting expects high conformity through rules without explanation. Permissive parenting gives children much freedom without enforcement of rules. Uninvolved parenting is emotionally detached with minimal involvement in the child's life while still providing basic needs. Family planning refers to parents responsibly determining family size based on available resources.

This document summarizes a PhD research project studying the impacts of austerity on women's health and wellbeing in Stockton-on-Tees, England. The researcher conducts ethnographic fieldwork with a women's group and in-depth interviews with 15 mothers. Three mothers, Chloe, Sally, and Rose, describe their experiences with post-natal depression, managing expectations as a single parent, and suffering from both physical and mental health issues without adequate support. A charity manager discusses how many women in the area experience stress, anxiety, depression, and chaotic lifestyles exacerbated by poverty and a lack of social support. The researcher reflects on how most women are tasked with managing extensive responsibilities for their families and coping with
Becoming a father: Men's expectations and practice of first-time fatherhood
This document summarizes key findings from a qualitative longitudinal study of first-time fathers' expectations and experiences of fatherhood. Before the birth, men saw themselves as "willing learners" but anticipated that instincts would take over. After the birth, men found caring to be "hard work" and struggled to fit it in alongside work commitments. While men desired to be involved fathers, the breadwinner role re-emerged, and few were able to fully share caring as intended. Policies provided limited support for involved fatherhood.
Didyouknow
Research has found that children who were sexually abused often do not disclose the abuse, even when directly asked. There are many reasons why children may not tell, including their age, gender, relationship to the abuser, severity of abuse, and impact of the abuse. Younger children are more likely to disclose accidentally or to a parent, while older children may disclose deliberately to a friend. A study in Ireland found that over 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men reported being abused as children. For those who do disclose, it is often a difficult process, as the child may feel pressure to both keep and disclose the secret. They may try telling multiple times before fully disclosing or only disclose parts of the abuse. Building trust

Impact of child sexual abuse on parent child
This document summarizes the experiences of three women who were sexually abused as children and discusses how it impacted their parent-child relationships. Jayshree was abused by her uncle from age 8-9 and felt unable to tell her parents due to the formal nature of their relationship. Mansi was abused by her father from age 4-10 but her parents ignored it due to patriarchal norms. Vinitha was abused by her uncle from age 7-15 and when she told her family, they did not believe her and her father beat her, further damaging their relationship. All three women still struggle with the trauma and have overprotective parenting styles due to their own experiences of child sexual abuse and toxic parenting.
Don't Lose Sight of What Is Right
The political climate of today is different from what it used to be. The Presidential contenders of previous elections would debate fiercely on their own position, but then go out for a drink after their time was up. Respect was expected, and deserved, and given. America’s issues were shared by all citizens. Whoever spoke against integrity, honesty, empathy, and good moral values like these were looked down upon, and thought to be the outliers of American Society. But now, people who don’t hold these values are looked up to, are tolerated, and are gaining support everyday. Discrimination based on race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, mental handicap, and other attributes are now more public than ever, and aren’t questioned. We are divided based on the differences we see in other people. It’s not much different from America’s deadly past that most people think we’ve moved on from. But the truth is, we haven’t moved on at all. Things have only gotten worse.

This document summarizes a study on pregnant women's perceptions of alcohol use during pregnancy. The study interviewed 50 pregnant women in Switzerland about their alcohol consumption. While all acknowledged risks to the fetus, some reported abstaining and some reported strong reduction but not total abstention. Women questioned the need for zero alcohol based on mode of consumption, personal experiences, norm perceptions, and values of autonomy and holistic pregnancy. They constructed their own understandings of responsible drinking during pregnancy amid scientific and social uncertainty about low to moderate alcohol effects. The cultural status of alcohol as normal influenced perceptions more than for smoking, seen as always dangerous.Professor Robbie Sutton, Professor of Social Psychology, University of Kent: ...

Slides from Policing Pregnancy: A one-day conference on maternal autonomy, risk and responsibility. April 2016.‘No drinking’ policy and advocacy: perspectives from Europe
This document summarizes a presentation on guidelines for alcohol intake during pregnancy in Nordic countries. It finds that all four countries (Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway) recommend abstinence from alcohol for pregnant women. Denmark was the only country that openly communicated the lack of evidence of risk from low to moderate alcohol intake. The rise of the precautionary principle, in which risks are prevented in the absence of scientific proof of harm, appears to justify the abstinence guidelines. Further, symbolic moral views of protecting fetal purity and defining the ideal mother may influence the messaging to pregnant women.

Introductory comments
This document provides an introductory commentary on issues of gender and equality. It discusses alternative narratives around power and how affect drives internal conversations and changes in practices. It raises theoretical issues such as considering inequalities across public and private spheres and how relationships are shaped by broader gender discourses. It also discusses methodological issues like interviewing couples together or apart and observing practices. Finally, it notes the personal nature of this research and how researchers' own biographies and emotions may shape their work.

This document outlines a study comparing parenting discourses in media sources from the Netherlands and Germany. It discusses the research context, definitions used, and hypotheses about how parenting norms and policy changes may be reflected differently in each country's media based on factors like historical influences, the role of expertise, integration of mothers in the workforce, activation of parents, the role of fathers, and emphasis on child well-being over time. The researchers aim to analyze news articles from quality newspapers in both countries to understand evolving cultural norms around parenting.
Playful hanneknudsene mun
This document analyzes how personal responsibility of parents has become a public matter through "responsibility games" used by schools in Denmark. It discusses how these games paradoxically both dislocate and deconstruct the very notion of personal responsibility. The games risk producing "ethical temptations" that compromise personal responsibility by defining mutual responsibilities according to the school's terms and asking parents to publicly reflect on private decisions. This turns personal responsibility into a performance role directed by the school rather than an autonomous notion.

Parenting and neuroscience
1. Neuromania asserts that human consciousness and behavior are identical to neural activity in the brain. However, being human involves more than just having a functioning brain - it involves embodiment, selfhood, and relationships between minds.
2. Current neuroscience has empirical limitations and conceptual muddles in reducing complex human phenomena like love and free will to brain activity. Correlations between brain regions and behaviors do not prove that the behaviors are identical to the neural states.
3. While neuroscience reveals necessary conditions of behavior and awareness, neuromania claims it will provide a complete account, but human experience extends beyond what can be captured by studying brains alone.
Pam lowe empty vessels
This document discusses the rise of parenting culture and its conceptualization of children as empty vessels that can be molded by parental actions. It argues that current parenting discourse views parents as solely responsible for children's development and sees children's behavior as determined by parenting. However, previous research shows that children are active social actors who negotiate their own lives and influence the parent-child relationship. Conceptualizing children only as products of parenting ignores their agency and the complex social factors that shape their development.

The document summarizes key points from a conference on mental health, social care, and the circulation of neurologic knowledge. It discusses how:
1) Neuroscience is increasingly prominent in psychiatry and helps authorize diagnostic categories. However, implications for psychotherapy are complex.
2) Service users position the brain as the locus of their illness, blending experiential and media knowledge about the brain.
3) Neurologic ideas circulate in popular and professional contexts but are loosely incorporated and sometimes resisted in practice due to time constraints and preference for experiential knowledge.
Kent paper
This document discusses the shift in approaches to early childhood intervention in the UK from a focus on reducing child poverty to an emphasis on reforming parental behaviors and skills. It outlines the policies of New Labour, the Coalition government, and organizations like the Centre for Social Justice that promote investment in the early years and parenting programs to break intergenerational cycles of disadvantage. Critics argue this redefines social problems in moral terms and focuses narrowly on educational and economic goals rather than challenging inequality.
