Intensive Parenting: Does it Have the Desired Impact on Child Outcomes? (2014, background): “However, parents are enrolling their children in enrichment activities at younger and younger ages out of fear that their children may get left behind (Warner 2005).”
Development and Validation of a Quantitative Measure of Intensive Parenting Attitudes (2012, background): “Books about maternal anxiety have made their way into the popular press (Warner 2006) and indicate that women in the United States feel pressured to focus on their children’s needs to the near exclusion of all else (Lee 2008).”
Parenting (2015, background): “This precipitates a more unfocused, generalized sense of anxiety, which has had fundamentally important implications for the definition of “parenting” (see also Warner, 2006): Traditionally, good parenting has been associated with nurturing, stimulating and socializing children.”
Maternal Guilt and Shame: The Role of Self-discrepancy and Fear of Negative Evaluation (2013, unknown): “Theorists and researchers have expressed concerns over the high standards for being a perfect mother that have become the dominant discourse for motherhood (Arendell, 2000; Warner, 2006).”
Experiences, perspectives, and meanings of family vacations for children (2008, background): “These studies indicate that time parents spend with children is increasing at the expense of household activities, sleep and, for mothers, personal leisure—which supports the cultural trend toward a more intensive and involved approach to parenting (Warner, 2005).”
Risk, health and parenting culture (2010, background): “Attention has been drawn to the distinctiveness of a culture that now routinely represents ‘parenting’ as the single most important cause of impaired life chances, outstripping any other factor (Warner 2006, Rich Harris 2009).”
Does the Amount of Time Mothers Spend With Children or Adolescents Matter (2015, background): “The answer, by all accounts, should be yes, according to current beliefs about optimal childrearing methods in the United States: Mothers’ time is thought to be especially important, even irreplaceable, for the well-being of children (Hays, 1996; Warner, 2006).”
‘I'm Home for the Kids’: Contradictory Implications for Work–Life Balance of Teleworking Mothers (2008, unknown): “(Warner, 2005) should be considered, as they relate to women’s quality of life.”
Dreaming the American Dream: Individualism and Positive Psychology (2008, background): “Raising autonomous children who will go on to be successful, however, seems especially important to middle- and upper-class families whose children must be prepared for life in a brutally competitive capitalist society (Warner, 2005).”
Generational differences in psychological traits and their impact on the workplace (2008, background): “There are increasing pressures for intensive parenting (for a review, see Warner, 2005) as well as increasing time demands of high-level careers.”
Self-employment and family life: constructing work–life balance when you're ‘always on’ (2014, methodology): “This is an important factor since the demands associated with intensive motherhood, the dominant middle-class approach to mothering (Hays, 1996; Warner, 2005), are often made more challenging by rigid workplace schedules.”
Accounting for variability in mother-child play (2007, background): “Although, recently a backlash against “Supermomdom” has begun (Mead-Ferro 2004; Warner 2005).”
