Parent protection in context
Article Abstract:
It is true that focusing on contexts in which a parent needs to protect a child may produce better predictions with infant-parent attachment. However, focusing solely on the parent means that some vital information is overlooked. It is important to understand parents' protective behaviour in relation to the child, and the family environment must also be investigated as a background for assessing parents' caretaking behaviour and its effectiveness. Issues to be addressed include whether certain children are at risk of feeling unprotected.

Sleep timing and quantity in ecological and family context: A nationally representative time-diary study
Article Abstract:
A nationally representative time-diary data from children and adolescents are used to evaluate the associations between demographic characteristics, school schedules, activity choices, family functioning, and sleep behaviors. It is found that earlier school start times, greater hours of homework, greater paid employment, less time spent on meals, and fewer household rules are all significant mediators that explain the age-related decrease in sleep hours from childhood to adolescence.

The context of preschool children's sleep: Racial/ethnic differences in sleep locations, routines, and concerns
Article Abstract:
Data from the Fragile Families and Child Well Being Study is employed to examine potential racial/ethnic differences in how parents manage and perceive the sleep of their preschool children, while controlling for potential sociodemographic, environmental, pragmatic confounds. Findings indicate racial/ethnic differences exist in where children sleep, and these differences might mirror different cultural values, and diverse goals for family and parent-child relationships.
