Objective: This randomized control trial evaluated the efficacy of an online self-help program in a sample of parents of preschoolers with ADHD symptoms. Method: Parents were randomly assigned to the intervention group ( n = 27) or the delayed intervention group ( n = 26). Child behavior measures were completed by mothers, fathers, and teachers, and parenting measures were completed by mothers. Results: Intent-to-treat analyses indicated significant post-intervention improvements in mother-rated child hyperactivity/inattention, restlessness/impulsivity, defiance/aggression, social functioning, and teacher-rated prosocial behavior, as well as significant improvements in maternal over-reactivity, verbosity, laxness, positive parenting, parenting satisfaction, self-efficacy, stress, and depression. At 6-month follow-up, effects were maintained for maternal over-reactivity and verbosity, parenting satisfaction and self-efficacy, and parental stress and depression. Conclusion: This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of an online self-help parenting program in reducing preschool inattentive behavior difficulties, and in increasing parenting competence, satisfaction in the parenting role, and maternal well-being.

The Relationship

Our study aims to examine the relationship of child’s intellectual disability, parental education, employment and perceived stress with parenting sense of competence (satisfaction and self-efficacy). Three groups of parents (children without intellectual disability, children with mild intellectual disabilities, and children with moderate/severe intellectual disability) completed measures of perceived stress, parenting sense of competence and socio-demographic questions. Results show that child’s intellectual disability affects parenting satisfaction but not parenting self-efficacy. Parental employment predicted parenting satisfaction, but not parenting self-efficacy, while perceived stress predicted parenting satisfaction and self-efficacy. Results further suggest that parental employment moderates the relationship of child's disability with parenting satisfaction and perceived stress. Result suggest a need for interventions aimed at supporting parents in dealing with emotional consequences of their child’s disability.

Abstract Objectives Use of food to soothe (FTS) infant distress has been linked to later obesity risk. Infant characteristics influence mothers’ use of FTS, but less is known about how broader family characteristics, like parenting or the home environment impact FTS. We aimed to examine whether maternal parenting competence and household chaos, factors known to influence responsive parenting, were associated with the use of FTS over time. Methods This secondary analysis includes 288 low-income mothers and their full-term newborns participating in the WEE Baby Care study. The Babies Basic Needs Questionnaire was used to assess emotional FTS (e.g., in response to infant distress, maternal stress) and contextual FTS (e.g., car, church) at infant ages 2, 5, and 7 months. The Confusion, Hubbub and Order Scale (chaos) and the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (total competence, parenting satisfaction, parenting self-efficacy) were completed at 2 months. Mixed linear models adjusted for study group were used to examine emotional and contextual FTS over time. Results The use of FTS decreased over time from 2 to 7 months of age (P < 0.05). Mean (SD) chaos was 25.7 (5.3) with a possible range from 15 to 60. Mean (SD) competence was 78.8 (9.8) with a possible range of 16 to 96. Lower competence and parenting satisfaction (both P < 0.0001) and higher chaos (P = 0.03) were associated with mothers’ greater use of emotional FTS. Competence (P = 0.46) and chaos (P = 0.29) were not associated with mothers’ use of contextual FTS. Lower parenting satisfaction was marginally associated with mothers’ greater use of contextual FTS (P = 0.06). Parenting self-efficacy was not associated with the use of FTS. Conclusions Results suggest that maternal parenting characteristics and household chaos may be potentially modifiable factors related to mothers’ use of FTS, especially to relieve their personal or their infants’ emotional distress. Interventions that target low-income mothers’ feeding practices may need to address a broad range of maternal and household characteristics.

The Relationship

Parenting satisfaction is an indicator to see the quality of the relationship between parents and children. Satisfaction of parenting is considered important because it has an impact on the formation of psychological dynamics of good parenting. The foundation of many parenting satisfaction is based on the feeling of parents to be competent in caring for their children. Confidence in the ability to care turns out to have a strong relationship with the formation of parenting satisfaction. The correlation between parenting satisfaction and self-efficacy is implicitly discussed in various studies, but only a few directly link the two variables. The meta-analysis study aims to ensure the relationship of care satisfaction with self-efficacy through measuring sampling errors in 21 studies from 15 selected articles. The result is a sufficient correlation (ř= 0.41) between parenting satisfaction and self-efficacy. It becomes the basis for determining relationship between parenting satisfaction and self-efficacy. Keywords: parenting satisfaction, parenting self efficacy, meta-analysis.
