摘要
This study investigated experiences and needs concerning (supporting) children's school career among parents in divorced lone-parent and stepfamilies. Forty custodial parents from a variety of divorced family situations responded to an in-depth interview. The interview data were analysed using qualitative methods. The results show a variety of experiences and needs for support among different families. In general, a respectful attitude from the school, a flexible way of handling the diversity of family situations and teachers' commitment to the psychosocial well-being of the child are essential tools in supporting children and promoting parental involvement and support. It is suggested that these measures be optimally realized within the context of an integrated school policy concerning the relationship with the family.
