This article considers three under analysed aspects of the wellbeing of children affected by parental imprisonment: time, space and agency. Time is considered in terms of children's past experiences and anticipated futures. Space is the thinking around new or changed environments.

The article is illustrated with examples from a mixed methods longitudinal study.
