“…Reactions were crucial in encouraging families to continue to read with their child as indicated by these participants: Furthermore, reading elicits emotional response. Prior research on incarcerated parents found that recorded bedtime stories sent to children provoked emotions including comfort and anxiety (Andersson and Björkhagen-Turesson, 2023). In a domestic context, data in this study suggest that sound had the capacity to infuse the reading encounter with variety, humour, energy and calm.…”

This article interrogates shared reading between parents and young children, theorised as ‘sensory affinities’, understood through a sociological lens. I argue that reading cannot be confined to educational aspects, and towards increased prominence for relational dimensions. I explore the narratives of 29 parents/carers of reading with young children. Drawing on data on the embodied aspects of reading, Mason’s concept of affinities illuminates the sensory facets of reading applied to family intimacies. Interventions have hitherto distilled literacy from the wider social context. However, an understanding of reading in the context of families from diverse backgrounds, yields insights into the sensory character of everyday family life. Findings are of significance to sociology broadly, and specifically, families and relationships. Centring families facilitates a fuller understanding of literacy practices. Finally, the focus on an everyday, tangible practice such as reading can support understandings of hidden and taken-for-granted dimensions of family life.

“…In addition, the results of the second previous study show that there is connection emotion between father and his early childhood because of the regular bedtime storytelling given (Farantika et al, 2022). Further, the results of the third previous study show that there is significant enhancement from the implementation of bedtime storytelling on the early childhoods' cognitive and language development (Andersson & Björkhagen Turesson, 2023). Besides those three previous studies, the researchers also compare with other previous studies conducted by previous researchers which assert the result that the implementation of bedtime storytelling to the early childhoods is able to enhance their language skills such as acquiring new vocabularies, pronouncing the vocabularies fluently, understanding new words' meaning, and having self-confident to retell what is heard (Al-mansour & Al-shorman, 2011;Otoluwa et al, 2022;Sufiati & Paramita, 2021;Yanti & Tirtayani, 2023;Zalukhu et al, 2023).…”

“…Based on the three previous studies aforementioned, the first and the third previous studies focus on the implementation of bedtime story to internalize the childhood's value of patience and the connection emotion between father and his early childhood at which those are dissimilar to the focus of the present study (Andersson & Björkhagen Turesson, 2023;Supriatna & Wismaliya, 2019). Meanwhile the second previous study has similarity to the present study which focuses on the implementation of bedtime story to enhance the early childhoods' cognitive and language development (Farantika et al, 2022).…”

“…The results of the study showed that the benefits of storytelling for early childhood include training concentration, sharpening memory sharpness, developing language skills, fostering interest in reading, improving critical thinking skills, and bringing closer emotional relationships between teachers and students. The last previous study entitled "Bedtime stories from inside -family practices and affinities in families with incarcerated fathers" (Andersson & Björkhagen Turesson, 2023). The results of the study showed that there is possible connection emotionally between father and children through giving regular bedtime stories.…”

Psychologically, young children generally enjoy listening to stories told by their parents. This study aims to analyze the impact of storytelling before bed by parents in order to improve early childhood language development. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The respondents of this study were 15 mothers and 15 children aged 5-6 years. The methods used to collect data were in-depth interviews and observation. Data analysis techniques use qualitative and quantitative descriptive. The results of the research show that storytelling before bed impacts children's fluency in pronouncing words, vocabulary mastery, self-confidence, and creativity in retelling the stories they hear. In conclusion, storytelling before bed can empirically improve children's language development significantly. Apart from that, this research has implications for the teaching and learning process in PAUD units, where teachers are advised to use the storytelling method during the teaching and learning process. Parents are also advised to get into the habit of telling stories before bed as one of the methods used in developing language in early childhood, especially for young children. 5-6 years.

“…While supporting their current caregivers might be crucial since the fathers are in prison and away from the children, improving fatherhood identity and attitudes, the interaction quality with their children as well as decreasing harsh discipline practices, would be critical to increase parental warmth and emotionality towards their children, which is very important to support children's emotional and behavioral adjustment (Andersson & Björkhagen Turesson, 2023;Chui, 2016;Kjellstrand et al, 2019;Tadros & Tor, 2022).…”

This study delves into the complex dynamics among risk experiences, emotional and behavioral symptoms, and the educational engagement of children with incarcerated fathers. Drawing data from 64 currently incarcerated fathers, their adolescent children, primary caregivers, and teachers, the research reveals that both socioeconomic and parental incarceration-specific adversities contribute to heightened externalizing and internalizing problems. Notably, socioeconomic risk factors wield a more substantial influence on these psychopathologies. Externalizing problems emerge as key mediators, outweighing internalizing problems in linking socioeconomic risk experiences to children’s attitudes toward school. Total indirect model analysis underscores that general risk experiences negatively impact children’s school attitudes and belongingness through both internalizing and externalizing problems. Findings underscore the significance of children’s socioeconomic adverse experiences, with a pronounced impact on behavioral adjustment and a notable contribution to emotional adjustment. This dual influence, particularly emphasizing behavioral aspects, subsequently shapes their involvement and adaptation within the school system. The study advocates for targeted interventions and policy measures, highlighting the necessity to bolster caregivers’ social and economic resources, actively engage incarcerated parents in decisions related to their children’s education and well-being, provide support to teachers in identifying and addressing challenges faced by children in schools, and deliver personalized psychological assistance for these children. These interventions facilitating the educational involvement are pivotal for disrupting the cycle of disadvantage and criminal behavior.
