TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Falling out of time: the challenges of synchrony for children with incarcerated fathers JO - Children and society A1 - Oldrup, Helene SP - 27 EP - 37 VL - 32 IS - 1 N2 - Using a temporal lens, the article shows how fathers' incarceration leads to a loss of attunement to the temporal rhythms of their children's everyday lives. This lack of synchrony has implications for both the being and the becoming of the child. Through in-depth interviews, the article draws on data from a Danish study of mothers and children, aged 5-27, whose father/stepfather was incarcerated.

FINDINGS show the significance of a multifaceted understanding of time showing the implications of fathers' imprisonment for children, suggesting that policy initiatives would be enriched by a focus on challenges to synchrony from the child's perspective.
