Parenting Occupations and Purposes Framework. 

We conducted a scoping review to bring together occupational therapy understandings of the “doing” of parenting, and came up with the POP framework. While the framework needs further validation (stay tuned) using it to complement occupation-focussed models can help OTs discuss parenting with clients and identify concerns that could be addressed.
