“…Furthermore, parents put their children in situations that can trigger mental health issues with emotional pain or neglect (Mendo-Lázaro, León-del-Barco, Polo-del-Río, Yuste-Tosina, & López-Ramos, 2019). In the field of children's literature nowadays, the issue of mental illness is not uncommon (Wojcik-Andrews, 2018).…”

PurposeThis current study aimed to analyze the effect of parental rejection on children in The Willoughbys (2020) movie. The focus of discussion in this study was centered on the first child of the Willoughbys family, namely Tim Willoughby. MethodThe method used to help analyze the data is a qualitative method. The data are taken from pictures and dialogues from the movies. Through the psychological approach, this study implemented Parental-Rejection Theory (PARTheory) to help analyze the effect of parental rejection presented in the movie. Results/findingsThe study showed that parental rejection affects children socially and emotionally. It influenced some aspects of children’s life. Tim Willoughby suggested that parental rejection affected his perspective of the world, his dependency level, his relationship with others, and also his mental state. ConclusionThe study concluded that the consequences of parental rejection contain features that can have the potential to last for a long time. Therefore, this study suggests that parents must take into consideration of their words as well as actions toward their children. They also have to pay close attention to their children’s development so that they can intervene if children show any symptoms that indicate problems.

“…As David Buckingham et al note in passing, there is a strong tradition of community-based storytelling in British preschool television, which can be traced across the decades (1999: 54). Crucially, there is also a longer tradition of children’s fictional media eschewing a primary emphasis on the family, as in many ways related to the fact that children’s fictional media often places the child protagonist, rather than the child’s familial context, at the centre of the narrative world (see Honeyman, 2005; Wojcik-Andrews, 2002).…”

Historically, the majority of work on British children’s television has adopted either an institutional or an audience focus, with the texts themselves often overlooked. This neglect has meant that questions of representation in British children’s television – including issues such as family, gender, class or ethnicity – have been infrequently analysed in the UK context. In this article, we adopt a primarily qualitative methodology and analyse the various textual manifestations of ‘family’, group or community as represented in a selected number of BBC preschool programmes. In doing so, we question the (limited amount of) international work that has examined representations of the family in children’s television and argue that nuclear family structures do not predominate in this sphere.
