This study evaluated the Tuning in to Kids (TIK) parenting program delivered in a clinical setting with 77 parents and caregivers (hereafter referred to as “parents”) of children who had experienced complex trauma. The TIK program targets parent emotion socialization to improve children’s emotional and behavioral functioning. The study utilized a single-group design with pre- and post-intervention measures. Seventy-seven parents of children (aged 3–15 years) who had experienced complex trauma completed a ten-week version of the Trauma-Focused Tuning in to Kids program (TF-TIK). Measures examined parent reports of: emotion socialization; parent-child relationship; parent mental health; children’s emotional and behavioral functioning. Parents reported significantly improved emotion socialization, parent-child relationship, parent mental health, as well as child emotion regulation and behavior. This study provides initial support for the use of the TF-TIK parenting program in a clinical setting with parents of children who have experienced complex trauma in order to prevent or reduce problems.

Baby Triple P

Objective: Hearing loss in children can affect the parent-child relationship and the mental health of parents, especially mothers as the children’s primary caregivers. Maternal mental health problems and challenges in the parent-child relationship can affect the rehabilitation process and the future of hearing-impaired children. Thus, the interventions to promote the parent-child relationship and mental health of parents, especially mothers, should be studied. Triple P or positive parenting program is one of these effective interventional programs. Recently, a new intervention called the Baby Triple P parenting program was developed based on the Triple P program. This study investigates the effect of the Baby Triple P positive parenting program on mental health and mother-child relationship in mothers of children with hearing impairment. Materials & Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design using a control group. The participants were 24 mothers under 3 years old children with hearing impairment referred to the centers for families and children with hearing disabilities in Tehran, Iran, in 2019. They were selected using a convenience sampling method and then randomly divided into groups of intervention (n=12) and control (n=12). The intervention group received the Baby Triple P positive parenting program for 13 training 1-h sessions, one session per week. The control group did not receive any intervention. Both groups completed the mother-child relationship evaluation questionnaire and the symptom checklist-90-revised instrument before and after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test and independent sample t-test. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding mental health after the intervention (P>0.05). Among four components of the mother-child relationship, the Baby Triple P program had no significant effect on acceptance, overindulgence, and rejection (P>0.05), except on the overprotection component (P<0.05), which was significantly higher in the intervention group. Conclusion: There is a great need for early interventions for maternal mental health problems and challenges in mother-child relationships for mothers of children with hearing impairment. Although the Baby Triple P is a useful program, it is new for the parents of these children. Considering the unique needs of these children, more studies are needed to enrich the content of this program for the mothers of children with hearing loss to explore its various aspects.

Abstract Aims Previous research has found links between cyberbullying victimisation and internalising and externalising problems among adolescents. However, little is known about the factors that might moderate these relationships. Thus, the present study examined the relationships between cyberbullying victimisation and psychological distress, suicidality, self-rated poor mental health and substance use among adolescents, and tested whether parent–child relationship and child's sex would moderate these relationships. Methods Self-report data on experiences of cyberbullying victimisation, self-rated poor mental health, psychological distress, suicidality and substance use were derived from the 2013 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey, a province-wide school-based survey of students in grades 7 through 12 aged 11–20 years (N = 5478). Logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, subjective socioeconomic status and involvement in physical fighting, bullying victimisation and perpetration at school. Results Cyberbullying victimisation was associated with self-rated poor mental health (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.64–2.81), psychological distress (OR 2.41; 95% CI 1.90–3.06), suicidal ideation (OR 2.38; 95% CI 1.83–3.08) and attempts (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.27–3.38), smoking tobacco cigarette (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.45–2.65), cannabis use (OR 1.82; 95% CI 1.32–2.51), and binge drinking (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.03–2.02). The association between cyberbullying victimisation and psychological distress was modified by parent–child relationship and child's sex (three-way interaction term p < 0.05). The association between cyberbullying victimisation and psychological distress was much stronger among boys who have a negative relationship with their parents. Conclusions Findings suggest that cyberbullying victimisation is strongly associated with psychological distress in most adolescents with the exception of males who get along well with their parents. Further research using a longitudinal design is necessary to disentangle the interrelationship among child's sex, parent–child relationship, cyberbullying victimisation and mental health outcomes among adolescents in order to improve ongoing mental health prevention efforts.

Aims:This workshop will present a theoretical framework to conceptualize early childhood behavior problems in the context of the early parent-child relationship, and will demonstrate how this relational framework can be used to diagnose, classify, and treat child behavior concerns in children under the age of five.Background:There is increasing evidence to suggest that a significant number of very young children manifest signs of early psychopathology, and that behavioral problems that emerge early are likely to persist, and warrant further assessment and intervention. One of the challenges to identifying early psychopathology in young children is how to diagnose and classify early behavioral disturbances using a developmental and relational framework.Methods:This presentation will describe an “infant mental health approach” to diagnose and intervene with young children with behavioral concerns. This comprehensive model of behavioral assessment incorporates an assessment of the parent's perceptions of the child, observations of dyadic interactions, and utilizes a developmental context to diagnose, classify and treat early behavioral concerns in children under the age of five. Using the DC 0-3R, this model will highlight how an understanding of child behavior in the context of the parent-child relationship can be a helpful framework to diagnose and treat early behavioral disturbances in children under the age of 5. Participants will learn how to identify vulnerabilities in the parent-child relationship, how to diagnose and conceptualize early psychopathology in young children, and how to formulate interventions to support dyads at risk.

ObjectiveTo study regulatory problems (RPs) of feeding, sleeping and excessive crying in infancy, and explore the influence of maternal mental health problems and parent–child relationship problems.Design and settingData were collected in the general child health surveillance delivered to infant families by community health nurses (CHNs). Information on CHNs’ assessments and conclusions were obtained on 2598 infants and merged with data from national registers. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to study RPs in early and late infancy, and the influences due to child, family and parent–child relationship problems.ResultsCombined RPs (C-RPs), defined as two or more simultaneous problems of feeding, sleeping or excessive crying, was identified in 2.9% and 8.6% of the population between age 2–6 and 8–11 months, respectively. Low maternal schooling and immigrant parents were associated with an increased risk of late C-RPs, but RPs in early infancy stand out as the main predictor of late C-RPs OR 3.4 (95% CI 1.8 to 6.6), and the effect of early maternal mental health problems and parent–child relationship problems seem to be mediated by early C-RPs.ConclusionsCombined problems of feeding, sleeping or excessive crying may exist throughout infancy independently of exposures to maternal mental health problems and parent–child relationship problems. The results indicate that infants with RPs exceeding age 2 months need special attention, in clinical as well as community settings. Suggested intervention includes specific guidance to the parents to help them understand and regulate their infant’s sensitivity and reactions.

There is no way in which parents can evade having a determining effect upon their children's personality, character, and competence. The functions of parenting greatly influence how children develop. Amidst the understanding of the importance of the parent-child relationship, it becomes crucial to decipher whether the parenting styles, especially of mothers, really influence the mental health of adolescents. The present study looked into the parenting styles of urban and rural mothers from the perspective of mental health of adolescents. The data was collected from a randomly selected sample of 100 adolescents from the district of Faridabad in the State of Haryana. Parenting Authority Questionnaire by Burie (1991) and Mental Health Inventory was administered to ascertain the parenting styles mothers and adolescents’ mental health. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data. The analysis revealed that 'authoritative parenting style' does contribute towards the mental health of adolescents.
