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.
