Abstract In light of the questioning related to contemporary parental combinations, I maintain that whatever these combinations may be, in the majority of cases a good enough mixture of life and death sexual drives, of ethical ability and of vital narcissism, will exist in the parents’ psyche, even though proper genital sexuality has been either partially or completely excluded from procreation. This good enough mix lies at the foundation of a good enough child development for what concerns the unavoidable impact of the parental environment upon the child’s psyche’s formation. I will use the Oedipus’s “anamnesis”, describing the potential dynamics of any parents’ psyche through this myth. I will insist upon the ethical dimension, while, following Emanuel Levinas, I will define ethics as a responsibility for the other, an ability originating, in my view, in the feminine/ maternal of any human being and resulting first from the traces left in the infant and then the child’s psyche’s zone of infinity by the enigm-ethic messages coming from the adult world, which is in charge of him or her. Respecting this emotionally loaded asymmetric responsibility in the parent/child relationship, in any kind of parental constellation, facilitates a sense of singularity, of identity and of belonging in the child.

A child’s development is embedded within a complex system of relationships. Among the many relationships that influence children’s growth and development, perhaps the most influential is the one that exists between parent and child. Recognition of the critical importance of early parent-child relationship quality for children’s socioemotional, cognitive, neurobiological, and health outcomes has contributed to a shift in efforts to identify relational determinants of child outcomes. Recent efforts to extend models of relational health to the field of child development highlight the role that parent, child, and contextual factors play in supporting the development and maintenance of healthy parent-child relationships. This review presents a parent-child relational health perspective on development, with an emphasis on socioemotional outcomes in early childhood, along with brief attention to obesity and eating behavior as a relationally informed health outcome. Also emphasized here is the parent–health care provider relationship as a context for supporting healthy outcomes within families as well as screening and intervention efforts to support optimal relational health within families, with the goal of improving mental and physical health within our communities.

Background Postpartum depression is common in the perinatal period and poses a risk for the development of the infant and the mother–infant relationship. Infancy is a critical developmental period of life and supportive parenting is crucial for healthy development, however, the effects of interventions aimed at improving parenting among mothers with depression are uncertain. Aims To assess the effects of parenting interventions on parent–child relationship and child development among mothers with depressive symptoms with 0–12-month-old infants. Method We conducted a systematic review with the inclusion criteria: (a) randomised controlled trials of structured psychosocial parenting interventions for women with depressive symptoms and a child aged 0–12 months in Western Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, (b) minimum three sessions with at least half of these delivered postnatally and (c) outcomes relating to the parent–child-relationship and/or child development. Publications were extracted from 10 databases in September 2018 and supplemented with grey search and hand search. We assessed risk of bias, calculated effect sizes and conducted meta-analysis. Results Eight papers representing seven trials were included. We conducted meta-analysis on the post-intervention parent–child relationship. The analysis included six studies and showed no significant effect. For individual study outcomes, no significant effects on the majority of both the parent–child relationship and child development outcomes were reported. Conclusions No evidence of the effect of parenting interventions for mothers with depressive symptoms was found on the parent–child relationship and child development. Larger studies with follow-up assessments are needed, and future reviews should examine the effects in non-Western countries.

To demonstrate the effects of home environment and parent-child relationship on personality and development, the author tells the life story of a pair of monozygotic twin girls reared apart. One, who grew up as a member of a large closely-knit family group, with mother-love and parental security, has become well-adjusted and happy in spite of severe set-backs. The other, reared as an only child by a hard and restrictive step-mother, and always required to do much hard work, became a tense and instable person, addicted to drugs and Anally probably committed suicide.

En esta investigación se analiza la influencia y la actuación de los padres de futbolistas pertenecientes a la categoría cadete 2ª regional de las Islas Baleares. El estudio se centra en los comportamientos de gestión, presión, apoyo, comprensión y la participación activa de los padres en las actividades deportivas de sus hijos. Los participantes fueron 102 progenitores (63 padres y 39 madres), quienes participaron voluntariamente en el estudio rellenando el cuestionario Análisis del Comportamiento y Actuación de Padres y Madres en el Deporte (ACAPMD) durante la temporada 2016-2017. Además, un total de 176 jugadores completaron el cuestionario Parental Involvement Sports Questionnaire (PISQ). Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias significativas entre los datos obtenidos por padres y madres. También, señalan que los padres muestran niveles elevados de implicación con el deporte de sus hijos y se muestran interesados en mantener una buena relación paterno-filial. En cambio, no se posicionan a favor de las intervenciones de los padres desde la grada en los partidos de sus hijos.

Furthermore, 176 young footballers filled up the questionnaire Parental Involvement Sports Questionnaire (PISQ).

Current research supports that both psychological/physical maltreatment by parents and parent-child relationship quality strongly correlate with children’s psychopathology. Less research has examined the interaction effects among these variables, especially in emerging adults. The current study analyzed the association between psychological/physical maltreatment experienced from one parent and antisocial behaviors displayed by emerging adults, as well as the moderating effect of the other parent’s parent-child relationship quality. This sample included 1,364 emerging adults (953 females, 411 males) who reported on past year psychological and physical maltreatment and parent-child relationship quality. Results indicated that, when considered together, parent-child relationship quality was a stronger predictor of emerging antisocial problems than maltreatment, with the exception of the father-son dyad. Additionally, overall findings suggested that having a high-quality relationship with one caregiver was associated with lower antisocial problems in the context of high maltreatment from the other caregiver. Nevertheless, there were deviations from this norm. Unexpectedly, the lowest antisocial problems in females were associated with higher levels of paternal physical maltreatment combined with higher levels of maternal parent-child relationship quality. Moreover, the combination of low paternal psychological maltreatment and low maternal relationship quality was associated with particularly high antisocial problems in males. It is important to note the findings in the context of this sample of college students, who could be considered an advantaged group relative to some others. Since our sample might not represent our entire population of interest, which is emerging adults, it is important for future studies to examine these relationships across more diverse emerging adults. Practical implications are discussed.
