Book Description
As the U.S. population and family structures continue to shift, the norms and obligations for adult children caring for their elderly parents are being debated in the literature. My dissertation aims to understand attitudes toward helping the elderly and behaviors of giving to parents by adult children in a recent, nationally representative sample. Chapter one uses the General Social Survey and investigates attitudes toward two distinct but related topics. First, do Americans still value filial obligation, meaning do they see adult children as an important source of help for elderly parents? Second, which institution - families, government, or others - do Americans see as responsible for helping the elderly with specific instrumental tasks of daily living, like laundry or errands? I find that filial obligation is similarly highly valued by many in the U.S., but there is more variation toward which institution should be responsible for care. I find that Black respondents are more supportive of government support compared to Whites, and that respondents with some college or greater educational attainment are more supportive of families taking on this responsibility compared to those with a high school degree or less. Chapter two uses the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics to test whether experiencing a parents divorce during childhood, from ages 0 to 16, is associated with later giving of time and money to parents. Here, I find that experiencing a parents divorce during childhood is not significantly associated with later giving to parents. While Black and White adult children have differing patterns of giving to parents, this cannot be explained by their childhood experiences of family structure. Adult children whose parents got divorced when they were young do give less to fathers compared to mothers, similar to previous research on this topic. Chapter three also uses the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics and tests whether adult childrens family structure is associated with financial and time transfers to parents. Here, I focus on cohabiting adult children and divorced adult children compared to never married adult children. I find that long-term cohabiter adult children, those who have been living with their partner for more than one year, have lower odds of giving any time to parents compared to never married adult children. Similarly, divorced/separated adult children have lower odds of giving any time to parents compared to never married adult children. The adult childs marital status is never significantly associated with giving patterns of financial assistance to parents.

Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
