Harried and Unhealthy? Parenthood, Time Pressure, and Mental Health
Objective: This study investigates the effects of first and second births on time pressure and mental health and how these vary with time since birth and parental responsibilities. It also examines whether time pressure mediates the relationship between parenthood and mental health. Background: Childbirth is a major life course transition that adds a new role to parents' role set and contributes to role strain, of which time pressure is one manifestation. Longitudinal analyses can help determine whether the impact of children on parental time pressure endures or eases over time and whether any changes affect parents' mental health. Method: This study uses 16 years of panel data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (n= 20,009 individuals). The data are modeled using fixed effects panel regression models. Results: First and second births increase time pressure to a similar extent. Their estimated effects are larger for women than men and persist over time, but there is limited evidence of moderation by parental responsibilities. Maternal mental health improves after a first child, whereas second children are associated with declines in paternal mental health. These effects are long lasting. Mediation analyses suggest that in the absence of time pressure maternal mental health would improve significantly. Conclusion: Children have a stronger effect on mothers' than fathers' experiences of time pressure. These differences are not moderated by changes in parental responsibilities or work time following births. The increased time pressure associated with second births explains mothers' worse mental health. Implications Parenthood is an important factor underpinning gendered experiences of time pressure. Reducing time pressure among parents may improve parental mental health, particularly among mothers.

Parental Responsibilities: Dilemmas of Measurement and Gender Equality
Over the past half-century, enormous changes have occurred in gendered divisions of housework and child care across many countries, with a growing consensus that there is a slow but steady pace of change in gendered divisions of time and tasks but one that is combined with a puzzling persistence of gender differences in parental caregiving responsibilities. Rooted in a 14-year qualitative and ethnographic research program that focuses mainly on breadwinning mothers and fathers who self-identify as stay-at-home or primary caregivers and guided by genealogical and relational sociological approaches, the author argues that the concept of parental responsibility requires greater attention and that its theorization and conceptualization have critical implications for if and how it can be measured, the methodological approaches that might be used to assess it, and the conceptual fit between parental responsibilities and gender equality.

7999 Police protection order & child protection medical examination?
BackgroundAs per RCPCH child Protection companion, consent for child protection medical examination can be given by:Person with PR (parental responsibility)A child 16 years or overA child or young person who has the maturity and understanding to make the decisionThe local authority if they have joint PR (parental responsibility)A court when a direction has been attached to the an order obtained under the Children Act.ObjectiveWe re-audited to see if our practice is in concordance with the RCPCH recommendations.MethodologyWe did a prospective audit from May 2024 for three months. Case notes for the audit were randomly selected by the Paediatric administration. The data was collected on Microsoft excel spread sheet and it was analyzed manually.ResultsWe audited eleven set of notes to look for the quality of Child protection medical reports.The results are as followsAbstract 7999 Table 1SN Audit criteria Result Comments 1 Are both the child protection booklets and reports uploaded on the EPR? 100% Improved 2 Are information leaflets shared with the parents? 30% Worsened 3 Was the child seen within 24 hours of referral? 100% Same 4 Was appropriate informed consent taken for the examination 70% Worsened 5 CP medical performed by an appropriately trained and competent person 100% Same 6 Was appropriately trained chaperone present for the CP medical examination? 80% Worsened 7 Was CYP given an opportunity to be seen alone?

The Mediating Role of Parenting Stress in the Relations Between Parental Emotion Regulation and Parenting Behaviors in Chinese Families of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Dyadic Analysis
Little is known regarding the dynamic interactions between fathers and mothers in families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the parenting process. This study used an actor–partner interdependence mediation (APIMeM) model to investigate the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of emotion dysregulation and parenting stress on parenting behaviors among 211 pairs (total N = 422) of Chinese parents of children with ASD. The results indicated that for both fathers and mothers, there were significant indirect actor effects of parental emotion dysregulation on parents’ own parenting behaviors through their own parenting stress. However, no significant direct or indirect partner effect was found in the analyses. These findings suggest that the emotional parenting dynamics occurred on the individual rather than the dyadic level in these families.

Paternity Leave and Fathers’ Responsibility: Evidence From a Natural Experiment in Canada
Objective: This study uses a natural experiment in Canada to examine whether reserved paternity leave policy can increase fathers' involvement with their children. Background: Although a growing body of research suggests that paternal leave-taking is associated with increased father involvement, the causality of this relationship is unclear. Furthermore, leave-taking may differently impact multiple dimensions of father involvement, including engagement (direct interaction with children), accessibility (time in children's presence), and responsibility (solo parenting time). Method: Using two cross-sectional waves of time diary data from the 2005 and 2010 Canadian General Social Survey, this study exploits the natural experiment of the reserved paternity leave policy introduced in the province of Quebec in 2006 compared to the shared parental leave benefits offered in the rest of Canada. Difference-in-differences methods are used to estimate the causal effect of the policy on multiple measures of father involvement. Results: The reserved paternity leave policy led to a direct increase in fathers' responsibility time—2.2 additional hours of solo parenting time per week—but no direct effect on fathers' engagement or accessibility time. The findings also suggest that there may be indirect, contextual effects of the policy that have shifted the norms in Quebec regarding fathering. Conclusion: This study concludes that reserved paternity leave can increase fathers' responsibilityfor children in ways that may benefit family well-being and gender equality more broadly.

Responsibilising parents
This article considers moral agendas projected onto parents that mobilise them to supplement school literacy education with private tutoring. The theoretical frame draws on the concepts of responsibilisation as emerging market-embedded morality, ‘nudge’ social policies, edu-business and hidden privatisation in education. This framing is applied to two empirical moments: firstly, debates around the Australian government’s ‘Tutorial Voucher Initiative’ of 2004; and secondly, tutoring advertisements and items in school newsletters collected in early 2016. In the first moment, parents were somewhat reluctant to take up free supplementary tutoring; in the second, private literacy tutoring is increasingly normalised and legitimated as parents are nudged to supplement the work of the school.

Weekend work and work–family conflict: Evidence from Australian panel data
Objective This article investigates whether weekend work is associated with higher levels of work–family conflict (WFC) among parents, and whether resources like schedule control or presence of a partner mitigate this effect. Background The 24/7 economy requires many workers to work on weekends. Nevertheless, research on the impact of weekend work on families, and on WFC in particular, is underdeveloped, with previous studies relying on cross‐sectional data and small samples. Method Associations between regular weekend work and a measure of WFC are examined using data from 14 waves of The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. The sample is restricted to workers aged 18–64 years with parenting responsibilities for children aged 17 or less (7747 individuals, 40,192 observations). Both pooled ordinary least squares and fixed‐effects regression models are estimated. Results Among both genders, weekend workers have significantly higher levels of WFC than those who only work weekdays. WFC is particularly high for those who work weekends and simultaneously have little control over their schedule. Furthermore, weekend work affects WFC similarly for couple and single parents and, within dual‐earner families, independently of the partner's working schedule. Conclusion Weekend work generally has a detrimental effect on workers' ability to combine employment with parenting commitments. However, work–domain resources like schedule control can buffer the impact of weekend work.
