Children and parents have become a focus of debates on 'new social risks' in European welfare states. Policymaking elites have converged in defining such risks, and they have outlined new forms of parenting support to better safeguard children and activate their potential. Increasingly, parents are suspected of falling short of public expectations. Contributors to this special issue scrutinize this shift towards parenting as performance and analyse recent forms of parenting support.

"This special issue is a collection of impressive articles that cannot be missed by parenting practioners, policymakers, and parents alike. The article contributors display wide and yet deep perspectives tat stimulate readers to think beyond the surface phenomena of parenting practices and support in western countries."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
