Summary: Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease, especially prevalent among children. Although there have been advancements in understanding its pathogenesis, curative treatments are still lacking. Therefore, it is important to further investigate the mechanisms and explore new therapeutic approaches.

Summary: This study investigated the association between adolescent internalizing problems and feelings of guilt, shame, and guilt-induction, revealing that negatively biased perceptions of maternal communication mediate these links. Adolescents with more internalizing symptoms reported greater feelings of shame and perceived maternal guilt-induction, with these associations mediated by adolescents' unique perceptions of more maternal negativity. These findings highlight the potential role of cognitive biases in perpetuating established associations among adolescent internalizing symptoms, shame, and parental guilt-induction.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increase in the average age of becoming a parent, a decrease in the rate of teen pregnancies, and the emergence of a new developmental period called emerging adulthood. Young adults with serious mental health conditions (SMHC) who become parents earlier than their peers may be at risk of poor outcomes. However, there has been limited research on the experiences of young adult parents with SMHC. This study conducted qualitative interviews with 18 young adults with SMHC in the United States who became parents before the age of 25, and found that they faced challenges in simultaneously parenting young children and managing their mental health condition, experienced discrimination, and had fears of future discrimination. However, parents also expressed that their children motivated them to maintain recovery and build a good life for their family.

Summary: Parenting programs are effective in promoting positive parenting. Client's values and preferences play an important role in service evaluation, but there is a lack of studies considering these aspects in quantitative evaluation of parenting programs. Current research found that parents are highly satisfied with the parenting programs they received, highlighting the need for developing high-quality assessment tools to better measure parents' values and preferences.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to reveal the parenting experiences of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in rural southwest China. The results showed that challenges from within the family, relationships between parents, the school, and the community, scarcity and low accessibility of available resources and services, and the culture of discriminating against people with disabilities and the loss of eligibility for welfare are the major issues faced by parents. The mismatch between the needs of families of children with ASD and the resources available in social-environmental systems is a significant concern.

Summary: This paper discusses whether perceiving children as not yet fully human is a form of dehumanization or simply a reflection of their lack of features commonly considered distinctively human. The author explores different perspectives on 'what it is to be human', drawing from the natural sciences, philosophy, and social sciences. The author argues in favor of an existentialist position that recognizes the existence of a human being before their essence is created through their actions in the world. Both children and adults are seen as human beings and human becomings, and these perspectives have implications for the dehumanization of other social categories.

Summary: This study comprehensively investigates the effects of mechanical pressure on the performance of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) cells. It is found that a mechanical pressure of approximately 0.5 MPa can effectively suppress internal resistance and charge transfer resistance, while slightly increasing mass diffusion resistance and hydrogen crossover.

Summary: The study found that involving children directly and actively can drive change for parents in the 'Walking family' program. However, professionals need to take a critical approach and provide a realistic view of the family to children if this does not occur.

Summary: Parental gender socialization refers to the ways in which parents teach their children social expectations associated with gender. This study provides an overview of the cognitive and neural processes that underlie parental gender socialization. The research suggests that parents' gender stereotypes, attitudes, and attributions play a role in gender socialization, and that cognitive factors such as intergroup attitudes, gender essentialism, and conflict resolution also contribute. Additionally, neural processes related to attention, conflict monitoring, behavior regulation, and reward processing may be involved in stereotypes and biased behavior, but further research is needed to understand their relationship with parental gender socialization.

Summary: The experience of psychosis can pose additional challenges for parents. However, there is limited evidence and evaluation of interventions specifically targeted at parents with psychotic disorders. Most existing interventions are designed for parents with any mental illness or severe mental illness, and only a few have been tested with parents with psychosis. More randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions.

Summary: The challenges faced by incarcerated parents, who often come from poverty, unstable housing, trauma, and abuse, affect their ability to effectively care for their children. Community service providers recommend intervention programs covering basic needs, support resources, drug treatment, parenting, and addressing key topics such as problem-solving, impact of addiction on children, and strategies for meeting children's needs. Key services identified for reentering parents include housing, mentors, mental health support, group therapy, and programs addressing parenting and substance abuse.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Parents Plus Special Needs (PPSN) programme, a seven-week parenting group intervention for parents of adolescents with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that participants in the PPSN group reported improvements in parenting practices, problem behaviours, parental satisfaction, parental self-efficacy and goal attainment, which were retained at 3-month follow-up. There were additional gains for family adjustment at follow-up.

Summary: The strict visitation regulations in neonatal intensive care units due to the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on parental experiences, particularly on the bonding between fathers and infants. The restrictions led to emotional loneliness and hindered parents from experiencing parenthood together, potentially resulting in postponed attachment and negative consequences for families.
