Research on parent–child interaction has described how parents manage child compliance. Less attention has been paid to the resources leveraged by children in this tug-of-war. On the other hand, without any specific focus on children, scholars with an interest in discourse and emotion have begun systematic investigations of crying. Using the methodology of conversation analysis, we focus on a 5-minute crying episode from a video-recorded dinner event that involves a 3-year-old girl and her parents. In particular, we describe how crying is deftly deployed by the child to successfully renegotiate what has initially been pronounced a done deal.

There is much to admire in this report of an adaptation of parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) used to treat a uniquely complex case involving comorbid reactive attachment and oppositional defiant disorders. One the one hand, the paper reflects the remarkable potency and flexibility of PCIT. On the other hand, it reflects the clinical acumen and interpersonal dexterity of the clinicians who reported the case. We will discuss both of these aspects below....

This study aimed to investigate language socialization of affect in Mandarin parent-child interaction. Natural conversations between Mandarin-speaking two-year-olds and their parents were analyzed, focusing on the lexicon of affect words and the conversational interactions in which these words were used. The results showed that the children tended to use the type of affect words which encoded specific affective states, with the children as the primary experiencers. The parents, on the other hand, tended to use affect words not only to encode affective states but also to express evaluative characterizations. They often used affect words to negotiate with the children the appropriate affective responses to a variety of stimuli or to socialize the children’s behaviors into culturally approved patterns. In addition, it was found that the structure of conversational sequences served as a discourse-level resource for the socialization of affect. The findings were further discussed in relation to Clancy’s (1999) model of language socialization of affect.

Theory and research on parent–child interaction generally make a priori assumptions of asymmetry in authority between parent and child. Rather than investigating how children exercise autonomy by resisting parental authority, I examine their methods for exercising deontic authority in interaction with their parents. Using conversation analysis and drawing on Stevanovic and Peräkylä’s distinction between deontic status and stance, I analyse video-recorded naturally occurring interactions in which children issue demands to their parents, thus claiming a high deontic stance. Parents may choose to comply and reinforce the claim or not. Domains of deontic authority are (re)negotiated when children pursue compliance; though children can test the boundaries of their authority, parental responses reinforce them, reifying their own authority.
