What happens to family communication when a child gains more say in their after-school routine?
This article examines how support for choice, communication and family cohesion relate under China’s homework reforms. The family question centres on who owns a decision and how a young person experiences adult support.
Who was studied?
Parents of adolescents surveyed after China’s Double Reduction policy was introduced.
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- What does the article establish about how support for choice, communication and family cohesion relate under China’s homework reforms?
- Whose perspective was recorded, and what might an independent observer have described differently?
- How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is parents of adolescents surveyed after China’s Double Reduction policy was introduced.
Keep the limits in view
Reports about earlier autonomy support were gathered retrospectively after an education-policy change. Recall and simultaneous changes in family life may affect the comparison.
