Child-Rearing Values in Southern Brazil: Mutual Influences of Social Class and Parents’ Perceptions of Their Children’s Development

The authors examine social-class differences in parents’ child-rearing values for autonomy, self-direction, and conformity and the extent to which their values are influenced by their perceptions of their developing children’s characteristics. Parents from 25 middle-class or working-class families in a Brazilian city participated in interviews, observations, and completed Kohn’s Q-Sort measure when their children were 3, 36, and 72 months of age. Parents’ child-rearing values differed significantly by social class: middle-class parents were more likely to value autonomy and self-direction in their children, whereas working-class parents were more likely to value conformity. In addition, the strength and direction of parental values changed significantly as their children developed. Parents were less likely to value autonomy and self-direction when their children were 36 months than when they were either 3 or 72 months. Middle-class parents were more likely to value conformity when their children were 36 than when they were younger or older.

The new Adoption Law: legal and psychological aspects

A partir do ponto de vista juridico e psicologico, examinaram-se alguns aspectos envolvidos na adocao, incluindo os reflexos das alteracoes trazidas ao Estatuto da Crianca e do Adolescente pela Lei Nacional da Adocao. Procurou-se verificar se a lei propiciou, ou nao, maior celeridade a concretizacao dos processos. O artigo baseou-se em pesquisas bibliograficas e dados estatisticos do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Os resultados revelaram que a lei inovou em muitos aspectos, mas nao abarcou outros, como permitir a adocao por homossexuais. O procedimento se tornou mais burocratico e as adocoes por cadastro, no Estado, continuam pouco expressivas. A nova lei ainda nao atingiu seu objetivo, o de tornar mais ageis os processos de adocao. O acolhimento institucional, que deveria ser provisorio, torna-se, por vezes, permanente, indo de encontro ao direito a convivencia familiar das criancas/adolescentes, causando-lhes relevantes danos psicologicos.

Regressão e crescimento do primogênito no processo de tornar-se irmão

Regression and growth indicators in the process of becoming a sibling were investigated. Three firstborns took part in the study during the first siblings third trimester of pregnancy, and when the sibling was 12 and 24 months old, respectively. The Fables Test was used and a qualitative content analysis was carried out. Results revealed regression indicators during pregnancy. At 12 and 24 months there were growth indicators together with regression indicators. Regression was used by the firstborn for coping with the siblings arrival while growth revealed the capacity for acquisitions or the costs of being an older sibling. Both regressive and growth manifestations enabled a healthy to and fro, which is fundamental for development towards independence. These findings have both research and clinical implications.
