Abstract

I present preliminary analysis and findings from my Ph.D.-project and explore how parents understand parental tasks and responsibilities and how these understandings are formed through parents' collaboration with ECEC professionals (Early Childhood Education and Care) in day-care centres. In Denmark approximately 90-98% of children in the age of one to six are enrolled in a public day-care centre (Juhl, 2018). Parents' collaboration with ECEC professionals has until now been seen as a shared care arrangement. New political initiative in Denmark means that instructions about learning is now part of the agenda in shared care. The paper contributes with knowledge about how parents and ECEC professionals' daily encounter creates conditions for parents’ way of understanding their parental role in the light of the changed conditions.
The project is based on participant observations of parents’ daily encounters in two day-care centres from two municipalities and qualitative interviews with six parents. It explores parents’ everyday life and focussing on how parents understand their parental tasks and responsibilities and organize family life as a part of a shared care arrangement. Critical psychology (Dreier, 2008; Holzkamp, 2013) is used as the theoretical approach to explore parents’ everyday life and their way of acting, organize and participate in the shared care arrangement and enables a subjective perspective.

AndetHosted by Roskilde University in Denmark in 2023, the 11th biannual conference of the European Society on Family Relations (ESFR) invites family scholars across disciplines to exchange research and findings about contemporary challenges for families in Europe.<br/><br/>The aim of the conference is to facilitate the exchange of research-based insights about what we can learn from studying the troubles families face in their everyday practices and relationships considering current global upheavals. Studying the experiences of families creates knowledge and develops thinking that can provide insights into family life but also enables us to learn about important contemporary social and global challenges, including the global environmental crisis, the social and humanitarian crisis that arose due to COVID-19, and the ravages of war across the world. To gain insight into the meaning of these contemporary social and global issues, the conference will view them through the prism of troubles in everyday family life as experienced by living persons.
