The Politics of Home Child Carework: Transcending Contradictory Public and Private Discourses.
Kyle, Irene J.
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v7 n1 p51-69 Jun 1998
Uses results from study of home child-caregivers' attitudes to examine how public/private discourses on mothering, professionalism, work, and caring contribute to providers' constructions of home child-carework. Focuses on providers' efforts to set boundaries between their business and the caring relationships developed with children and families, dilemmas associated with shared mothering, and providers' evaluations of parents as caregivers.
