Avon Longitudinal Study

Abstract Here we evaluate whether infant difficult temperament (6 months) functions as a vulnerability or more general plasticity factor when investigating effects of early-childhood parenting (8–42 months) on both positive and negative early-adolescent socioemotional development (age 8–11 years). Using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC, N = 14,541) and a re-parameterized model-testing approach to distinguish alternative person × environment conceptual models, results indicated that temperament × parenting interacted in predicting externalizing (i.e., hyperactivity, conduct problems), but not other behavior (i.e., emotional symptoms, peer problems), in a (weak) differential susceptibility manner. While more and less supportive parenting predicted, respectively, fewer and more behavior problems, it did so more strongly for children who were more difficult as infants.

Children And Childhood

Childhood is not a neatly definable concept as it differs among cultures. Among the Shona, a child and childhood are defined in terms of age, marital status, behaviour and also relations to other members in society. The Shona, like other ethnic groups, have a plethora of ways through which their worldview is fashioned and conveyed, and these include songs, folktales, riddles and proverbs, among others. In this article, Shona proverbs are analysed in terms of how they present Shona people’s perception and conceptualisation of childhood. Afrocentricity is used to analyse the content of proverbs selected from the anthologies Tsumo Chimbo neMadimikira (Zvarevashe 1984) and Tsumo-Shumo (Hamutyinei and Planger 1987). Among its findings, the article observes that Shona childhood falls into two main categories: early childhood and mid-cum-adult childhood. Children are perceived as an integral component of any Shona marriage, and society is ambivalent regarding who is more important between the boy and girl child. Also, early childhood is perceived as a very precarious and critical stage that can either make or break a child, thus warranting responsible shepherding from parents and society. Child behaviour is also believed to be largely modelled after that of parents and so it is important that parents behave responsibly so as to positively influence their children. It also emerges that it is quite common for children to disappoint their parents, but that should not lead the parents into despair. While all stages show that childhood is considered a position laden with responsibilities, which should be carried out for the good of all, the mid-cum-adult childhood stage is viewed as one where one should start moving towards or even exercise total independence and self-reliance. Overall, it emerges that the Shona people’s perception and conceptualisation of children and childhood have a lot of positives that can be drawn from for the good of today’s humanity.

This chapter describes the development and subsequent implementation of a parenting curriculum in an early childhood education classroom. The purpose of the study is to provide a curriculum for preschool teachers to improve the quality of early childhood education. The study was implemented in several classrooms of an early childhood center. The center was located on a university campus of an urban city in the state of Connecticut, USA. The innovation in this work was the idea that curriculum for early childhood providers could be created in a way that started from parent perceptions, rather than from telling parents how they need to change to meet school needs. The results of this study suggest that teachers who implement the parenting curriculum would be better prepared to work with both parents and children in a preschool setting.

AbstractObjectives: To examine the mental health status of homeless children and their families living in a supported temporary housing project.Method: The assessment measures used: (i) the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ); (ii) the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL); and (iii) the Parenting Stress Index (PSI). The population studied consisted of 14 families and 31 children. Children aged two to 16 years were eligible for the study. Most of the families (12/14) assessed were single parent (mother only) family units.Results: The General Health Questionnaire was completed by the 14 mothers and two fathers. Of the mothers 28% (4/14) indicated the presence of psychiatric ‘caseness’. The Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) was completed on 31 children by the mothers. More than a third of the children (12/31) had a Total Problem Score above the ‘clinical’ threshold, indicating the presence of mental health problems of sufficient severity to merit referral for treatment. Of the children 45% (14/31) manifested externalising problems in the ‘deviant’ range, while 29% of the children (9/31) manifested internalising problems in the ‘clinical’ range. In all, when the CBCL scores were examined within each family, 78% (11/14) had at least one child with a CBCL dimension of clinical significance. The Parenting Stress Index was completed by each mother. Of the mothers 70% (10/14) obtained scores in the critical range. They reported feeling incompetent in their parenting role, being dominated by their children's needs and feeling social isolated from their relatives and peers. Their scores also indicated poor self-esteem and significant depressive symptoms. Of note the peak score was the lack of emotional and active support from the other parent.Conclusion: This study revealed a high level of stress and clinical morbidity in this group of homeless mothers and their children and the need to provide appropriate mental health supports and services for them.

Résumé Cette étude examine les taux de problèmes de comportement internalisés et externalisés des enfants et des indices de stress parental et du réseau de soutien social rapportés par les parents d’un échantillon d’enfants et de familles en fonction du type de service de garde fréquenté par les enfants. Elle vise aussi à identifier si les mêmes variables diffèrent en fonction de l’utilisation de divers types de services de garde et de la présence de divers facteurs de risques psychosociaux (0, 1, 2, 3) dans la famille, et ce, tout en contrôlant les effets reliés à l’âge et la santé des enfants ainsi qu’au pays d’origine et à l’âge de la mère. À cette fin, nous utilisons les données de trois cueillettes de données transversales de l’évaluation de l’initiative 1,2,3GO!. L’échantillon comporte 1245 enfants et familles provenant de 10 territoires de la grande région de Montréal. Les enfants sont âgés de 20 à 42 mois. Nous mesurons les comportements des enfants à l’aide du Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL). Nous utilisons aussi la version abrégée du Parenting Stress Index pour mesurer le stress parental et la taille du réseau de soutien social (Barrera). Les parents répondent à un questionnaire sur le type de garde utilisé pour leur enfant. Les résultats indiquent que la fréquentation d’un service de garde est associée à moins de problèmes de comportements internalisés chez les enfants ainsi qu’à un plus grand réseau de soutien social chez les parents. Il n’y a pas de différences significatives pour ce qui est des scores de comportements externalisés chez les enfants et de l’indice de stress parental chez leurs parents. Ce sont les enfants et leurs parents qui utilisent des services structurés (CPE, garderies et services de garde en milieu familial) qui obtiennent les meilleurs scores relativement aux comportements internalisés des enfants et à la taille du réseau de soutien social des parents. Nos résultats soulignent également que les enfants qui ne fréquentent aucun service de garde présentent des taux supérieurs de comportements internalisés problématiques et externalisés limites à ce qu’on retrouve dans la population en général. Il en est de même pour les parents qui ne recourent à aucun service de garde, c’est-à-dire qu’ils présentent des taux plus élevés de stress parental et plus faibles de soutien social que la population en général. La discussion fait le lien entre les résultats de cette étude et d’autres résultats obtenus récemment. La conclusion propose de poursuivre l’accroissement du réseau afin de mieux répondre aux besoins des familles vulnérables.
