What could make it easier to accept help during the early years?
For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine maternal self-care and self-compassion alongside different sources of support.
Who was studied?
514 Israeli mothers with children under three years of age
Age / stage: Children under 3 years
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate maternal self-care and self-compassion alongside different sources of support?
- Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
- How did the study distinguish time for self-care from access to practical or social support?
Keep the limits in view
The online sample comprised Israeli mothers of children under three. The demands of this age and context can shape responses.
