“…For instance, these data suggest that parental perceptions regarding their ability to "mother" or "father" may change during transition. Recent research on mothering and fathering suggests that these concepts are intrinsically linked to societal expectations, especially for mothers (Newland et al, 2013). As a result of these societal expectations (often particularly keenly felt by transgender parents), female parents tend to provide more nurturing parenting, while male parents tend to provide more physical parenting.…”

Little is known about transgender families, their children, and how they negotiate parental gender transition (PGT) and associated stressors. Thus, this study addressed this gap using a qualitative research design based on Family Stress Theory to explore how transgender parents and their adult children experience transition. Specifically, this study examined the ways in which they perceived transition, experienced stressors related to transition, and made use of resources, as well as their experiences of their overall family functioning and changes in their parent-child relationship. Findings suggest that parents and adult children appear to experience similar levels of stress related to PGT. However, the types of stresses they experience are different. In terms of resources, both parents and children appeared to benefit from therapy. However, both groups also highlighted ways that it could be improved. Support groups were also found to be an important coping resource for parents and one that adult children pointed to being a helpful resource they were lacking. Findings from this study indicate that the majority of parents and adult children experienced positive or no changes in their parent-child relationship after transition. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…Measures of parenting and parent-child relationship quality continue to be predictive throughout the school-age years into adolescence Newland, Giger, et al, 2013;Wyman et al, 1999). Parenting which is developmental and meets the child's needs in a consistent and appropriate manner (through parental affection, responsiveness, encouragement, teaching, engagement, appropriate discipline, and coparenting) will foster children's overall well-being (Cabrera et al, 2004;Fletcher, St. George, & Freeman, 2013;Newland, Chen, Coyl-Shepherd, Liang, et al, 2013;Roggman, Boyce, & Innocenti, 2008;Sorbring & Palmérus 2004). One of the strongest and most consistent predictors of positive parenting and child well-being is FWB.…”

“…high levels of conflict) both parent and child mental health (including distress) are impacted (Farver, Xu, Eppe, Fernandez, & Schwartz, 2005;. However, positive family functioning (family communication, role satisfaction, problem-solving, and emotional connectedness) improves parent-child interactions and child outcomes (Carr, 2013;Newland, Chen, Coyl-Shepherd, Liang, et al, 2013;Newland, Giger, et al, 2013;. One way to improve family resiliency is to bolster family leadership skills, such as conflict resolution and optimism (Carr, 2013;Kivimaki et al, 2005).…”

Supportive family contexts: promoting child well-being and resilience

Prevention and intervention programmes for children at risk aim to improve child well-being and resilience. They do so using both direct and indirect strategies, intervening with children but also considering broader contextual factors (such as family dynamics). Children's subjective well-being comprises five main components (physical health, mental health, self-regulation, social competence, and cognitive competence) and is predicted by person, relationship, and contextual factors. Children's resilience, or ability to beat the odds under adverse conditions, is predicted by similar protective factors. Family well-being (FWB) is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of child well-being and resilience. Aspects of FWB (including adult health and well-being, family selfsufficiency, and family resiliency) have been shown to impact child well-being through positive parent-child interactions. However, risk factors (including poverty and living in geographic locales with limited resources or high levels of neighbourhood violence) can threaten both family and child well-being. Strategies are offered for promoting FWB as a means of supporting resilience and well-being in children at risk for violence, abuse, or neglect.Early intervention and child abuse prevention programmes have sought ways to improve child well-being and resilience directly (working one-on-one with a child) and indirectly (by improving parenting skills, thereby improving child outcomes). Research has shown that family well-being (FWB) provides a foundation on which to build positive parenting skills, and when children are parented in developmentally appropriate and supportive ways, their well-being and resilience are bolstered. There is new interest in exploring connections from FWB to child well-being, especially for vulnerable children who are at-risk for violence, abuse, or neglect. This paper will examine key components of child well-being and resilience, key components of FWB, risk factors for families, and strategies for promoting FWB as a means of supporting resilience and well-being in children at risk.Child well-being and resilience A child's subjective well-being is a critical indicator of environmental impacts on his/ her development from early childhood through adolescence (Children's Worlds, 2011;

“…In traditional methods of parenting, mothers were solely responsible for care giving, providing a secure base for the children, and the domestic tasks; meanwhile, fathers were seen as the exploration partners for the children who engaged in physical play and encouraged risk taking (Newland & Coyl, 2010;Newland et al, 2012). Nowadays, fathers are viewed as active participants in children's lives and development.…”

The goals of the study were to identify: (a) the differences in father involvement level between fathers in the United Kingdom and Asia; (b) the differences in father involvement between fathers within Asia (Indonesia and Hong Kong); and (c) the factor that contributed to father involvement the most: work-life balance or couple satisfaction. By using snowball sampling, 256 fathers (51 from the United Kingdom, 106 from Indonesia, and 99 from Hong Kong) participated in the study via an online survey that measured their level of involvement, couple satisfaction, and work-life balance. Results revealed a statistically significant difference in father involvement between fathers from Indonesia and Hong Kong (t = 6.307, p < .000, 95% = 16.286, 31.101), but not between fathers from the United Kingdom and Asia (t = -.487, p = .627, 95% = -8.003, -4.841). Couple satisfaction was directly correlated to father involvement and also acted as the mediating factor between work-life balance and father involvement meaning that father involvement was influenced by a larger system that was interconnected with wider society as well as the couple relationship.Keywords: work-life balance, couple satisfaction, father involvement, cross-cultural study Tujuan studi ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi: (a) perbedaan tingkat keterlibatan ayah di Inggris Raya dalam pengasuhan dibandingkan ayah di Asia; (b) perbedaan tingkat keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan di wilayah Asia (Indonesia dan Hong Kong); dan (c) faktor yang berkontribusi paling besar pada keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan, kepuasan perkawinan, atau work-life balance. Dengan menggunakan snowball sampling, 256 ayah (51 dari Inggris Raya, 106 dari Indonesia, dan 99 dari Hong Kong) berpartisipasi dalam studi ini dengan mengisi format daring yang mengukur tingkat keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan, kepuasan perkawinan, dan work-life balance. Hasil menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan dalam keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan di antara ayah di Indonesia dan Hong Kong (t = 6.307, p < .000, 95% = 16.286, 31.101), tapi tidak antara ayah di Inggris Raya dan Asia (t = -.487, p = .627, 95% = -8.003, -4.841). Kepuasan pasangan berkorelasi langsung dengan keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan, dan juga berperan sebagai faktor yang memediasi work-life balance dan keterlibatan ayah. Hal ini menunjukkan keterlibatan ayah dalam pengasuhan dipengaruhi oleh sistem sosial yang lebih besar dan saling terhubung, dan juga kualitas hubungan pasangan.Kata kunci: work-life balance, kepuasan pasangan, keterlibatan ayah, studi lintas budaya Parenting practises have shifted considerably over the last few decades. In traditional methods of parenting, mothers were solely responsible for care giving, providing a secure base for the children, and the domestic tasks; meanwhile, fathers were seen as the ex-
