Parental monitoring was once considered to be the approved way for preventing risk behaviors by children and adolescents. In the last years, however, the concept has been the target of cogent criticism questioning the interpretation of findings which support the traditional view of monitoring. After reviewing the various criticisms and the resulting fragmentation of theory and practice, we propose the model of vigilant care as an integrative solution. Vigilant care is a flexible framework within which parents adjust their level of involvement to the warning signals they detect. By justifying moves to higher levels of vigilance with safety considerations and expressing their duty to do so in a decided but noncontrolling manner, parents legitimize their increased involvement both to the child and to themselves. The model offers a unified solution to the ongoing controversy and generates theoretical hypotheses as well as a practice-oriented research program.
父母监督曾被视为预防儿童和青少年危险行为的公认方式。然而，在过去几年里，这一概念受到了有力批评的质疑，这些批评质疑了支持传统监督观点的研究结果的解释。在审视了各种批评以及由此导致的理论和实践碎片化之后，我们提出了警惕性关怀模型作为一种综合解决方案。警惕性关怀是一个灵活的框架，父母可以根据他们检测到的警示信号来调整他们的参与程度。通过以安全考虑为由提高警惕，并以果断但非控制的方式表达这样做的责任，父母向孩子和自己证明了他们增加参与的合理性。该模型为持续的争议提供了一个统一的解决方案，并产生了理论假设以及一个面向实践的研究计划。
