Naturalness as a safe haven:parental consumption practices and the management of risk
Purpose This paper aims to present an analysis of the various dimensions of naturalness that shape the consumption practices of parents with young children. Design/methodology/approach The study builds on semi-structured interviews with 17 mothers and fathers focusing on parental decision-making in everyday consumption from pregnancy to the first years of the child’s life. Findings Naturalness is a tool allowing parents to navigate in a world of risks and part of an everyday consumption practice that constructs and maintains children as vulnerable and parents as responsible. Parents perceive naturalness as something with three dimensions: familiarity, purity and culture. These three dimensions lead to different parental practices around consumption. Originality/value The analysis contributes to the authors’ understanding of parenting, childhood, risk, safety and consumption by showing how and why parents of young children construct naturalness as a three-dimensional ideal in their consumption practices. ; Purpose This paper aims to present an analysis of the various dimensions of naturalness that shape the consumption practices of parents with young children.
