âWe practise every dayâ: Parentsâ attitudes towards early science learning and education among a sample of urban families in Ireland
Educational policies increasingly emphasise early childhood science engagement. As key
influencers in childrenâs early learning, parents (n=85) attending a science workshop in three
urban schools in Ireland were surveyed regarding their attitudes towards science. Seventy per
cent of parents believed that science education should begin in the pre-school years, before
the age of four. Despite high levels of education, at least half of the parents expressed some
lack of confidence in talking about, and in doing science with, their young children. Parents
who reported less confidence in doing science activities with their children also reported
reduced frequency of activities for five out of the seven science learning opportunities listed.
Mothers, compared to fathers, reported less confidence in doing science activities with their
children. Findings indicate that parentsâ confidence in science may impact early science
experiences and highlight parents as a key support for increasing early science engagement

What Are Providersâ Reporting Requirements for Children Who Witness Domestic Violence?
Each year, 3.3 to 10 million children are exposed to domestic violence/abuse (DV). Providersâ reporting obligations for these children are unclear. The child maltreatment statutes available on stateâs web sites (through August 2003) were reviewed. Only Alaska defines DV in the presence of a child as child abuse within its juvenile code. Within their child abuse definition and reporting statutes, many states include language such as âsubstantial riskâ or âimminent dangerâ of âphysical harmâ or âmental injury.â Although knowledge of the state law is an important first step, abiding by it may be challenging because most statutes are open to wide interpretation. As a result, providers are encouraged to seek advice from local child maltreatment specialists who understand the local legal interpretations and resources
