| In recent years,problems such as the imbalance of sex ratio at birth and the disappearance of demographic dividend have emerged due to China’s growing level of aging population,and the population pressure has become prominent.The two-child policy came into being in 2016 in response to the national call.Up to now,with the increasing number of two-child families,the group of two-child mothers in China has also developed and become an emerging group that attracts much attention from public opinion.Most of the two-child mothers who are most in line with the childbearing age in this period are women born in the1980 s.They were born in China’s reform and opening-up,also the first generation of one-child policy with a special era background.In addition,many two-child families have encountered various difficulties in raising children,and the parenting stress has become more and more prominent.Appropriate stress can indeed promote human development,but when such stressful emotions accumulate to a certain level,it will be harmful to physical and mental health,and even lead to mental illness.In a family,two-child mother usually takes more responsibility in upbringing.Things we should do is to pay more attention to them,take professional measures of social work to help them relieve stress and get out of the predicament.In order to understand the current situation of “Post-80s” two-child mothers,the author,after preliminary investigation and visits in community T,finally selected six “Post-80s”two-child mothers of the same age as the research objects,and form a group to understand their living and children’ upbringing conditions.Taking social support theory,feminism theory,and life course theory as the theoretical basis,this thesis collects data in the early stage by using literature research method,interview method,and participant observation method,and analyzes the causes of two-child mothers’ parenting stress from four aspects: original family,marital quality,economic ability,and occupational and family conflicts.Afterwards,group activities were carried out in a targeted manner,once a week for five weeks,to relieve the parenting stress of “Post-80s” two-child mothers.The pre-test and post-test comparative analysis is carried out by using PSI scale to evaluate,reflect and summarize the process and results of group practical activities.Lastly,in order to further relieve the parenting stress of “Post-80s” two-child mothers,the author provides reference suggestions from three aspects.From a personal perspective,encourage two-child mothers to communicate more with their families,release pressure,and establish a psychological defense mechanism,affirm themselves more and discover their own advantages.From the perspective of the community,establish more mutual aid groups to relieve the parenting stress,conduct lectures on parenting,and establish a scientific view of parenting for two-child mothers.From the perspective of macro-policy,the author calls on the government to further introduce relevant policies to protect rights and interests of two-child mothers,so as to improve the happiness of two-child mothers and relieve their parenting stress. |
