重新审视“好”父母:密集型育儿及其对儿童青少年发展的影响

Re-examining the Issue of"Good"Parenting:The Intensive Parenting and Its Impact on the Child Development

经过近一个世纪的发展,“密集型育儿”已成为当代社会主流的育儿范式和理想标准,但它并非“完美无缺”。本文以密集型育儿的态度与行为作为框架,对密集型育儿给儿童青少年发展带来的复杂影响进行了研究综述。已有实证证据表明,当密集型育儿达到一定水平时,父母更多的投入和参与不仅不会带来更多增益,还可能在多个方面产生消极影响,且这些影响也会受到阶层、性别和文化的调节。密集型育儿给儿童和父母自身都带来了一定风险,未来研究可以从中国本土化的视角对密集型育儿的影响机制进行更为系统深入的研究。

After nearly a century of evolution,"intensive parenting"has become the dominant parenting paradigm and ideal standard in contemporary society,yet it is far from flawless.This article,with examination as its frame about the attitudes and behaviors associated with intensive parenting,has conducted a review of the complex impacts of this approach on child development.The existing empirical evidence suggests that when beyond a certain threshold,the increased parental involvement and investment characteristic of intensive parenting would not only fail to yield additional benefits but can also have detrimental impacts in multiple domains,and these influences are further moderated by social class,gender,and cultural background.The practice of intensive parenting poses risks for both children and parents,and the future research would benefit from adopting a more systematic and in-depth investigation into the mechanisms coming into play within the Chinesecontext.
