Several changes are affecting families and usually cause their vulnerability as they feel unable to cope with everyday situations with accurate answers. Exchanging views and sharing experiences with other parents may help them to succeed in these new situations. "Building the everyday" is a parental education program, which focuses on the promotion of positive parenting. The program tries to improve educational outcomes through better sharing of family responsibilities and with a supportive and strong sense of community. 48 fathers and mothers whose children were in Primary Education in 6 schools of the Principality of Asturias have participated in the study (22 couples and 4 monoparental families). The aim of the present study is to show the results of the final evaluation of the program and to assess the effects of experiential programs in the processes of family change. The results show a great interest in participants in the program and its structure; they also show changes in parents’ attitudes, preferences and beliefs about gender roles; the program improves the division of domestic work and other areas such as communication, the establishment of rules and conflict resolution. In short, these processes of change, offer families learning opportunities which may enable the reconstruction / optimization of their parenthood.
This paper presents the results of a research project developed to analyze and diagnose family co-responsibility in Spain. The basic goal of the research was to broaden our knowledge about how families negotiate the division of household labour and also to understand how the processes involved in such negotiation hinder or facilitate changes in gender roles. In this paper, we report our analysis and conclusions in relation to the implicit model implemented by parents in the socialization of shared family responsibility. The data used for the analysis were taken from a set of semi-structured interviews carried out in a focus group context with Spanish parents. The analysis shows how the traditional, idealized model of co-responsibility has been substituted by a more individualistic one. However, this new model appears to give rise to some problems and conflicts.
