“…It is important to highlight that this study used the DCDQ, a tool to identify children with DCD, based on the perception of their parents/guardians. Even though the parents' reports involve subjective aspects (parental characteristics), objective components were considered, such as the characteristics and behavior of the child, which is shown to reflects real characteristics of children 30 . Furthermore, these components may provide useful data for evaluations and diagnoses of children, such as the identification of motor changes, arising from the parental perception that may indicate DCD, as through the DCDQ, for example.…”

The objective of this study was to identify socio-demographic factors that are associated with the guardians' perception of developmental coordination disorder among schoolchildren from seven to ten years old. Methods: The parents/guardians of 361 children completed the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) and a socio-demographic questionnaire in this cross-sectional study. The univariate relationship between the DCDQ and sociodemographic factors was tested by the chi-square test. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval was calculated. Socio-demographic variables with p≤0.20 were included in the logistic regression analysis. Results: The child's age (B = 0.40; OR = 1.49; p <0.01) and the guardian undergoing treatment for illness (B = 0.97; OR = 2.65; p = 0.02) were retained in the final regression model. Conclusion: Thus, increasing children's' age and guardians undergoing treatment for illness increased the guardians'perception of developmental coordination disorder.

“…Prevailing differences may influence the attitudes and beliefs that parents hold about their individual children. In addition to subtle differences in caregiving emanating from traditional roles, mothers’ and fathers’ personal characteristics and individual working models also may influence appraisal and feelings for their baby, and thus affect reports of temperament (Manczak et al., ; Seifer, ). Parental personality traits have been shown to predict ratings of children, such that traits relating to negative emotionality predict perceptions of more difficult babies (Vaughn, Bradley, Joffe, Seifer, & Barglow, ).…”

The temperament dimensions of persistence, adaptability, and regularity had acceptable or close-to-acceptable reliabilities in the U.S. study as well as in this study, and also were unifactorial in confirmatory factor analysis. These dimensions are the focus in this article. Findings concerning parents' differential ratings of their infants on the three dimensions are reported, as is the stability of parents' ratings of temperament from 6 to 12 months. In addition, results on the relation between temperament and parenting stress are presented. The study suggests that temperamental adaptability, persistence, and regularity may be relevant when assessing infant behavior, and may be applied in systematic prevention trials for families with infants. The inclusion of concepts related to individual differences in response tendencies and regulatory efforts may broaden the understanding of parent-infant transactions, and thus enrich prevention and sensitizing interventions with the aim of assisting infants' development.

“…Indeed, a growing body of literature has characterized parents' typical neurobiological responses to infant stimuli (Grasso, Moser, Dozier, & Simons, 2009;Pechtel, Murray, Brumariu, & Lyons-Ruth, 2013;Swain, Lorberbaum, Kose, & Strathearn, 2007). However, few studies have examined the contribution of infant factors, such as temperament, to parents' neural responses to infant stimuli, despite evidence that infant temperament is associated with numerous aspects of parenting such as parental self-efficacy and sensitivity (Crockenberg & Acredolo, 1983;Ghera, Hane, Malesa, & Fox, 2006;Leerkes & Crockenberg, 2003;Manczak et al, 2016;Teti & Gelfand, 1991). Examining the extent to which infant temperament is associated with parents' neural responses to infant cues may enhance our understanding of bidirectional mechanistic links between infant characteristics and optimal parenting.…”

Maternal report of infant negative affect predicts attenuated brain response to own infant

Parent-infant interaction is known to be influenced bidirectionally by parent and infant characteristics. However, it is unclear whether infant temperament affects parents' neural responses to infant stimuli. 85 infants (6-12 months) were filmed in distress-eliciting tasks, which were coded for infants' negative affect. Mothers' reported infant affect was obtained from the Infant Behavior Questionnaire Very Short Form-Revised. Mothers' EEG activity was recorded while passively viewing photos of own, familiarized, and unfamiliar infants. Multiple regression indicated that mothers who reported greater infant negative affect showed a smaller difference in the late positive potential (LPP) response to own infant versus familiarized infant, controlling for researcher-coded infant negative affect. The findings suggest that parents' perceptions of their infant's temperament, but not independent measures of infant temperament, are related to electrocortical indices of emotional attention.
