Full textEarly Childhood development is an important phase of development, wherein the trajectory of the child’s life can potentially be determined. However, not all children experience positive outcomes, and many present with psychopathology. In particular, psychopathology in children will manifest as either externalizing behaviours or internalising behaviours. The treatment of internalising disorders becomes increasingly complex, as there isn’t always outward behaviour to give evidence to the inward difficulties. Literature amplifies the importance of the role of the parent in ensuring the well-being of the child and in working towards healthy developmental outcomes.

Full textIt is believed that socially skilled parents are capable of prioritizing positive educational practices without forgetting to establish the necessary limits to their children. However, parents who present interpersonal difficulties, offer inadequate behavioral model and can indeed contribute to establish and/or maintain behavioral problems in the latter. In this view, this study has the purpose of intensifying the knowledge about relationships among parent-children, comparing the Parental Social Educational Skills (HSE-P) of two different groups: a) fathers x mothers, and b) parents of children with schools evidence of socially behavioral problems x parents of children with schools evidence of socially adequate behaviors. The participants were 96 subjects, which 48 were parents (24 fathers and 24 mothers) of children with schools evidence of socially adequate behaviors (group ICSA) and 48 (24 fathers and 24 mothers) of children with schools evidence of socially inadequate behaviors (group IPC). The data collection was realized through the application of questionnaires formulated to evaluate the parents HSE- The questionnaires were applied by the interviewer at the families residences. Two other instruments were also utilized to measure the constructs adequate (QCSA) and inadequate (ECI) in children. The participants were contacted based on the indication of teachers from Public Day-Cares. The main results were: a) the HSE-P occurs more frequently among the mothers (i.e., express positive feelings and opinions, ask questions, establish communication, and listen to questions about sex), and in the group ICSA (i.e., demonstrate physical affection, agree with the spouse, to be dependable, discriminate adequate behaviors in their children); b) the groups IPC and ICSA differ only slightly with respect to the strategies used to establish limits; c) when the parents establish limits, the children of the groups IPC and ICSA behave in a similar way, obeying or also whining; d) the group ICSA presents a larger number of Marital Social Abilities (HSC), regarding those that involve communication; e) according to testimony of both fathers and mothers, the group IPC presented higher scores in the ECIs items related to externalizing behavior problems; f) both groups of children, IPC and ICSA, reached high scores in the QCSA. These results suggest that there are differences in the form that parents deal with their children, which can be to some extent explained through cultural practices that prioritize the mothers role in the education of children. The results indicate that the social skills that more differentiates the groups are those used in moments of positive interaction. Nevertheless, it seems that both groups of parents revealed HSE-P in the interactions with their children, calling the attention to the necessity of studies related to interventions that could help parents to take advantage of such skills and thus promote better parent-child interactions, reducing/eliminating the behaviors that are considered inadequate.

Full textLes parents d'enfants présentant des problèmes de comportement vivent un stress important pouvant affecter leur santé mentale et influencer leurs pratiques parentales, leurs perceptions de leur enfant, leur relation avec leur enfant, et les comportements de leur enfant. La présence de support social est un facteur à considérer en ce qui a trait au stress et à la capacité d'ajustement, et l'offre de groupes de support peut être une façon efficace d'offrir un support social aux parents. L'objectif des groupes de support pour parents est généralement d'améliorer le fonctionnement et la capacité d'ajustement des parents, et ainsi contribuer au développement de l'enfant et au fonctionnement de la famille entière. Des recherches antérieures ont observé des résultats positifs chez les parents suite à leur participation à un groupe de support. Certains des effets obtenus peuvent être particulièrement importants pour les parents d'enfants présentant des problèmes de comportement, notamment une diminution du stress et une amélioration de l'adaptation, des capacités d'ajustement, et de la perception des comportements de l'enfant. Toutefois, la littérature portant sur l'efficacité des groupes de support pour parents, en particulier les groupes pour parents d'enfants présentant des problèmes de comportement, est extrêmement limitée et caractérisée par d'importantes faiblesses méthodologiques. Le but de la présente étude était d'examiner l'impact de la participation à un groupe de support sur l'adaptation et les perceptions de parents d'enfants présentant des problèmes de comportement, tout en considérant et corrigeant certaines limites méthodologiques présentes dans littérature. Spécifiquement, les variables dépendantes incluent étaient le stress parental, la symptomatologie dépressive, le sentiment d'isolement, le sentiment de compétence, la satisfaction parentale, ainsi que la perception des comportements de l'enfant. Les participants étaient 35 parents ayant au moins un enfant présentant des problèmes de comportement. Vingt-deux parents ont participé au groupe d'intervention et 13 parents ont participé au groupe contrôle. Un schème pretest posttest avec groupe contrôle, ainsi que des mesures validées et standardisées, ont été utilisés. Les scores pretest ont servi de variables contrôles lors des analyses statistiques. Les résultats ont démontré que la participation au groupe de support, comparativement au groupe contrôle, était associée à une diminution du stress parental, à une augmentation du sentiment de compétence parental, et à des perceptions plus positives des problèmes de comportement chez l'enfant. Les parents ont également rapporté des niveaux très élevés de satisfaction suite à leur participation au groupe de support. Les implications théoriques et cliniques sont discutées, et des avenues de recherche futures sont proposées.

Full textThe current study examined how parental underestimations of child’s weight status, parental worry, and the Theory of Planned Behavior variables (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) predict intentions to adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) recommendations of four childhood health behaviors. These behaviors include: 1) eating five fruits and/or vegetables per day; 2) spending two hours or less on screen time (television, computer, and video games) per day; 3) engaging in at least one hour of physical activity per day; and 4) limiting (having zero) sugarsweetened beverages. Parents (N = 78) of overweight and obese children, ages six to 13 years old, were recruited from pediatric medical clinics and participated in an online study, where they were exposed to these AAP behavioral recommendations for children and completed online measures. Attitudes predicted of behavioral intentions for all recommendations except fruit and vegetable consumption. Subjective norms marginally predicted behavioral intentions for physical activity and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. Perceived behavioral control predicted behavioral intentions for the four recommendations. Parental worry predicted behavioral intentions for fruit and vegetable consumption. Additional theoretical and practical implications of this research are also discussed.

Full textThis study aims to explore and understand the substantive area of parental decision-making and its main concern to develop a theory of parental behavior towards children health in an everyday life context in Asian developing countries, which are characterized by unstructured and uncertain healthcare systems. We employed classic grounded theory method and analyzed data collected in Vietnam from 34 interviews with parents and pharmacy staff and six health-related themes of a parental online forum. We observed patterns of behaviors that under the conditions of high-level uncertainties and mistrust in multiple social relationships, living the social norms and role identity, parents in Asian developing countries extend their lay selves into the informal reasoning of medication. Health care services and medications are not just products or services but a process in which parents immerse themselves to build their experience. We propose a novel theory of parental immersion of the lay self into medication reasoning. We defined the construct of immersing the lay self as the devotion of parents’ mentality and the occupancy of parents’ centrality to the health care of children. We argue that consumer immersion does not necessarily happen in extraordinary hedonic settings, but it is also embedded in the everyday life experience of parents and reflected through various social contracts and interactions in Asian developing countries. Our proposed theory provides a greater understanding of parental health behaviors of immersion regarding children’s health and medications in developing countries. The construct of lay self immersion expands the concept of healthcare involvement and requires further studies and conceptualization from a broader view of consumer involvement
