“…Household detergents have also been incorporated into enemas as a result of their cleansing properties. If enemas are to be given at home, they should generally not be used in children under 2 years of age and advice should first be sought from a health care provider (Schmitt, 1991). Soapsuds, hydrogen peroxide, plain water or herbal enemas should not be used as these may have negative health effects (Moore & Moore, 1998).…”

“…Web sites aimed at working parents have promoted the idea that quality time should be relaxing and fun family activities, such as a vacation or a family game night, intended to help families take a break from hectic work and school schedules (e.g., fun.familyeducation.com, 2006; hotelfun4kids.com, 2006). Spock, however, cautioned parents against interpreting quality time to mean solely such elaborate events, but Schmitt (1991), another parenting expert, has urged parents to set aside “special” time for catching up with their children. Nonetheless, some parenting advocates have urged parents to spend lots of time with their children instead of focusing on brief quality time moments (e.g., Lasch, 1998; saferchild.org, 2006).…”

Although discussions of parenting refer to quality time, parents’ views of quality time have not been explored. Using the Sloan 500 Family Study, this article examines how 220 parents from 110 dual‐parent families define the spending quality time with their families and finds 3 distinct views: Structured‐planning parents saw it as planned family activities, child‐centered parents emphasized heart‐to‐heart talks with their children, and time‐intensive parents believed that all the time they spent with their families was quality time. Mothers and fathers both valued quality time, but, particularly when parents within a household disagreed, mothers more often described having a more active parenting role and assumed greater responsibility for quality time, reflecting a gendered division of parenting within the home.

“…Handbooks warn that children will whine to get their way until the parent makes clear that the method is ineffective. They offer many suggestions to eliminate this behaviour in children, such as telling the child what is expected, ignoring the child when he/ she is whining, time outs, giving the child a lot of attention when he/she is not whining, and demonstrating an appropriate tone of voice (Borba, 2003;Schmitt, 1991). These suggestions seem based on the assumption that whining is a bad habit to be extirpated, rather than a fundamental feature of communication between human children and their parents.…”

Although little studied, whining is a vocal pattern that is both familiar and irritating to parents of preschool‐ and early school‐age children. The current study employed multidimensional scaling to identify the crucial acoustic characteristics of whining speech by analysing participants' perceptions of its similarity to other types of speech (question, neutral speech, angry statement, demand, and boasting). We discovered not only that participants find whining speech more annoying than other forms of speech, but that it shares the salient acoustic characteristics found in motherese, namely increased pitch, slowed production, and exaggerated pitch contours. We think that this relationship is not random but may reflect the fact that the two forms of vocalization are the result of a similar accommodation to a universal human auditory sensitivity to the prosody of both forms of speech.
