“…In contrast, low-income families are significantly more likely to have children with social-emotional and behavioral problems due to the greater stresses of life (Pace et al, 2019). Subsequent studies also validate this finding that children from poor families have significant underdevelopment of social-emotional competence before they enter school compared to children from high-income families and that the gap in children's emotional competence due to family income widens progressively with age (Bender et al, 2022). Parental education level is also a component of structural family characteristics, and studies have demonstrated that parental education level significantly predicts children's social competence, and the predictive effect is somewhat stable (Albanese et al, 2019).…”

IntroductionThe home learning environment is the earliest contact learning environment in early childhood development, which plays an important role in the development of children’s social-emotional competence. However, previous studies have not clarified the precise mechanisms by which the home learning environment influences children’s social-emotional competence. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between the home learning environment and its intrinsic structure (i.e. structural family characteristics, parental beliefs and interests, and the educational processes) and children’s social-emotional competence, and whether gender plays a moderating role in the relationship.MethodThe study randomly selected a sample of 443 children from 14 kindergartens in western China. The Home Learning Environment Questionnaire and the Chinese Inventory of Children’s Social-emotional competence scale were used to investigate the home learning environment and social-emotional competence of these children.Results(1) Structural family characteristics and parental beliefs and interests both had a significant positive predictive effect on children’s social-emotional competence. (2) The educational processes fully mediate between structural family characteristics, parental beliefs and interests, and children’s social-emotional competence. (3) Gender moderated the effect of the home learning environment on children’s social-emotional competence. Gender moderates not only the indirect effects between parental beliefs and interests and children’s social-emotional competence, but also the indirect effects between structural family characteristics and children’s social-emotional competence. At the same time, gender also moderated the direct effects between parental beliefs and interests and children’s social-emotional competence.DiscussionThe results emphasize the crucial role of the home learning environment in the development of children’s early social-emotional competence. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the home learning environment and improve their ability to create a home learning environment that promotes the positive development of children’s social-emotional competence.

“…Children exposed to physical intimate partner violence are at greater risk of developing psychological, social, emotional, and behavioral problems (Howell et al, 2016). Specifically, exposure to intimate partner violence is associated with high emotional dysregulation and lower social-emotional competencies in children (Bender et al, 2022), and these children generally have less early childhood development (Jeong et al, 2020). However, since not all the children exposed to intimate partner violence present a misadjustment in emotions and behaviors, a body of literature proposed that the social-emotional competence in children could be a protective factor, promoting resilience and the attainment of development tasks such as emotional regulation and supportive relationships (Bender et al, 2022; Howell, 2011; Kitzmann et al, 2003).…”

Objective: Determine the association between intimate partner violence against Peruvian women and adequate regulation of the emotions and behaviors of children between 24 and 59 months old. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed secondary data obtained from the ENDES-2019. The dependent variable was the regulation of emotions and behaviors in 24 to 59-month-old children. The independent variable was partner violence (physical, sexual, verbal or psychological) against mothers at some point in their life. Prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated and adjusted with their 95% confidence interval (CI) to evaluate the association between intimate partner violence and adequate regulation of emotions and behaviors. Results: Data from 8,473, 15 to 49-year-old mothers and their children aged 24 to 59 months were analyzed. Intimate partner violence was reported by 57.1% of the women, and 31.6% of the children showed adequate regulation of emotions and behaviors. The probability of children of mothers who were victims of intimate partner violence adequately regulating their emotions and behaviors was low (aPR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.75–0.88), with an aPR = 0.82 (95% CI: 0.76–0.89) and an aPR = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.76–0.93) for those with mothers suffering psychological or physical violence, respectively, with no differences in children of mothers suffering sexual violence by their partner. Conclusions: Six out of 10 Peruvian women have suffered partner violence at some point in their life, and only three out of 10 children between 24 and 59 months old adequately regulate their emotions and behaviors. Children of mothers suffering physical and verbal or psychological violence by their partners were less likely to regulate their emotions and behaviors adequately.

“…Another impact level of this problem is related to the affectation of children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) in its various forms ( Holden, 2003 ), whose consequences are widely documented, highlighting detrimental effects in all areas of development-emotional, social, cognitive, and academic ( Loise, 2009 ; Alcántara et al, 2013 ; Maddoux et al, 2016 ; Castro et al, 2017 ; Rocha et al, 2021 ; Herrenkohl et al, 2022 ). Current studies focus on understanding and explaining what factors can mediate or moderate these consequences, as well as the different trajectories they follow throughout child and adolescent development ( Bender et al, 2022 ; Evans et al, 2022 ; Lee et al, 2022 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions imposed to stop its advance have affected the entire population. Children living with difficulties or in vulnerable situations prior to the pandemic might have suffered an even greater impact. This present study examines the psychological impact of quarantine on children and adolescents exposed to intimate partner violence against their mothers. Participants were 185 mothers who reported 269 children, as well as 108 children who self-reported. An emotional and behavioral checklist was administered to both mothers and children throughout confinement. Results show mothers observed changes in their children’s psychological state. Children, in turn, reported an increase in different variables. Mothers reported a higher percentage of overall increase for both general and severe symptoms than their children. Differences were found by sex and age. Future research with similar population groups is necessary to establish the support and intervention children require in similar contexts, as well as to clarify possible causes of differences found by age and sex.
