| Popis: |
This chapter turns to the discourse of parents as both consumers and producers of ADHD discourse. Alison Davies examines first the perspective of mothers, examining how they are positioned by dominant discourses of ADHD and parenting. She presents her original research on the experiences of mothers who have a child with ADHD to show how they make sense of ADHD when they talk about their children and family lives. In the family context, the identities of children, mothers and fathers (and sometimes extended family members and ancestors) are at stake when talking about the experience of ADHD. Davies describes how mothers manage and resist negative stereotypes of their children and of themselves as parents. The chapter is situated within wider debates about parenting, such as those addressing issues of maternal responsibility and gendered caregiving. The tensions between discourses constituting ‘mother-blame’ or mothers as the ‘expert parent’ responsible for child-care and health are explored in this chapter. |
