“…Young children from poor rural areas of China are not only vulnerable to stunting or developmental delay, which have been proven (Ministry of Health, 2012;Wei et al, 2015), but also more likely to have social or emotional difficulties. The prevalence of SED delays was 24.4% (95% CI, 22.8-26.0), similar to that of 24.0% among the American children in foster care (Jee et al, 2010) and 22.4% in a pediatric setting (Briggs et al, 2012), but much higher than the general population Karabekiroglu et al, 2013). Older children displayed more delay, and the tendency was accordant with a previous study (Briggs et al, 2012).…”

Poverty and its associated factors put people at risk for depression. The aims of this study were to describe the prevalence of depressive symptoms (DS) of primary caregivers and socioemotional development (SED) delays of young children in poor rural areas of China, and to explore the association between them. Cross-sectional data of 2,664 children aged 3 to 35 months and their primary caregivers were used for analysis. Characteristics of the child, caregiver, and family were collected through face-to-face caregiver interviews. DS were assessed by the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (W.W. Zung, 1965, as cited in World Health Organization, ), and SED was evaluated by the Ages and Stage Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (J. Squires, D. Bricker, & L. Potter, 1997). The χ test, stratification analysis, and logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association. Among the caregivers, 40.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] [38.4, 42.1]), reported DS. Caregivers who were male, older and ethnic minorities as well as had a low level of education, a low family income, or more children were more likely to have DS. Of the children, 24.4% (95% CI [22.8, 26.0]) were recognized with SED delays. Older children displayed more delays than did younger children, but no significant differences between males and females were found. SED delays were significantly associated with mother outmigrating, male caregivers, older age, ethnic minorities, and low education or families with a single parent, low-income, and having more children. Caregivers having DS, odds ratio (OR) = 2.40, 95% CI [1.99, 2.88], was a significant predictor of increased odds of SED delays; other factors were single-parent family, OR = 1.99, 95% CI [1.37, 2.89], inadequate care, OR = 1.69, 95% CI [1.30, 2.21], physical punishment, OR = 1.61, 95% CI [1.33, 1.95], ethnic minorities, OR = 1.41, 95% CI [1.17, 1.71], and child age in months, OR = 1.03, 95% CI [1.02, 1.04], according to the logistic regression analysis. DS are prevalent among caregivers with young children in poor rural areas. Interventions to improve the mental health of caregivers and their parenting behaviors are needed to improve children's SED.

“…The only remaining criterion to be satisfied is the one dealing with usefulness of the measure in intervention. Usefulness of the measure in intervention is important to test because positive parenting interactions are an important element to promote children's early development (Karabekiroglu et al., ; Love et al., ; Spiker et al., ; Spiker et al., ).…”

“…Parent–child interaction is the combination of behaviors, feelings, and expectations that are unique to any particular parent and particular child. Positive parenting interactions support development in both healthy children (Bakeman, ; Hess & McDevitt, ; Karabekiroglu et al., ; Love et al., ; Matas, Arend, & Sroufe, ; Sweet & Appelbaum, ) and those with developmental delay (Goldberg, Lojkasek, Gartner, & Corter, ; Innocenti, Roggman, & Cook, ; Spiker, Boyce, & Boyce, ; Spiker, Hebbeler, & Malik, ). The overall supportiveness of parenting interactions during infancy and early childhood, including both cognitive and social aspects, contributes to children's readiness to succeed in school (Chazan‐Cohen et al., ; Innocenti et al., ; Roggman, Cook, Innocenti, Jump Norman, & Christiansen, ).…”

Early positive parent-child interactions are important for child development. Intervention research focused on increasing positive parentchild interactions has demonstrated increases in desired parenting behaviors and improvements in child outcomes. Parent-child interaction research in Turkey has been limited because of the need for reliable and valid measures of parent-child interaction. The aim of this study was to explore the validity and reliability of a Turkish version of a psychometrically strong measure of parent-child interaction that was developed in the United States: the Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO). Mother-child interactions during a free-play situation were scored using the Turkish translation of the PICCOLO. The Turkish PICCOLO demonstrated good reliability and validity; as good as that demonstrated in the original English-language PICCOLO psychometric study. The Turkish PICCOLO meets the criteria established for a tool that will facilitate parent-child interaction research in Turkeyand appears to be practical and functional in evaluating the quality of parent-child interaction.

“…A responsive home environment that includes good parenting and positive parent-child interactions is predictive of good development outcomes in normally developing children [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These parent characteristics may also predict better outcomes for children with a disability [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Parenting behaviors of mothers and fathers of young children with intellectual disability evaluated in a natural context

et al. 2020

The aims of this study were to analyze the interactions of mothers and fathers with their children with intellectual disabilities, focusing on certain parental behaviors previously identified as promoting child development, and to explore the relations between parenting and some sociodemographic variables. A sample of 87 pairs of mothers and fathers of the same children were recruited from Early Intervention Centers. The children (58 male and 29 female) were aged 20-47 months. Most of the families (92%) were from the province of Barcelona (Spain), and the remaining 8% were from the other provinces of Catalonia (Spain). Parenting behaviors, divided into four domains (Affection, Responsiveness, Encouragement, and Teaching) were assessed from self-recorded videotapes, in accordance with the validated Spanish version of the PICCOLO (Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes). Parents were administered a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results revealed strong similarities between mothers' and fathers' parental behaviors. Mothers and fathers were more likely to engage in affectionate behavior than in teaching behavior. Only maternal teaching presented a significant positive relation to the child's age. With respect to the child's gender, no differences were observed in mothers' parenting. Conversely, fathers scored significantly higher in Responsiveness, Encouragement and Teaching (and had higher total parenting scores) when interacting with boys. The severity of the child's ID had a statistically significant effect only on fathers' Teaching, which showed lower mean scores in the severe ID group than in the moderate and mild ID groups. Teaching also presented a significant positive relation to mother's age, but father's age was not related to any parenting domain. Mothers with a higher educational level scored significantly higher in Encouragement and Teaching, and the fathers' educational level was not significantly related to any parenting domain. Mothers' and fathers' Teaching, and fathers' Responsiveness, Encouragement and total parenting scores, presented a significant positive relation to family income. Finally, mothers spent more time in childcare activities than fathers, particularly on workdays. Our main conclusion is that mothers and fathers show very similar strengths and weaknesses when interacting with their children with intellectual disabilities during play.
