“…One possible explanation for these results involves attachment and self-regulation theories [78]. Accordingly, secure attachment relationships are built upon a history of repeated experiences of successful dyadic regulation [28,29,79], resulting in the development of a stronger capacity for physiological [80] and emotional self-regulation [81]. This capacity can be manifested at bedtime, with securely attached children being more able to peacefully self-regulate in order to fall asleep and to settle after a night-waking [9], increasing total sleep time and sleep efficiency.…”

Sleep is a biological process that impacts nearly every domain of a child’s life. Sleep-wake regulation influences and it is highly influenced by developmental variables related to parent-child relationships, such as attachment. The main goal of the present systematic review is to analyze and integrate the findings of empirical studies investigating the relations between attachment and sleep in preschool age, a period marked by important developmental changes that challenge both attachment system and sleep-wake regulation. A database search was performed using a combination of relevant keywords, leading to the identification of 524 articles, with 19 manuscripts assessed for eligibility; finally, seven studies (2344 children) were included. Overall, the findings were not consistent, with some studies reporting significant associations between attachment security and sleep quality, as well as between attachment insecurity and sleep problems, whereas others did not find significant associations. The results are discussed in light of the available theoretical models and integrated in the context of measurement approaches to attachment and sleep heterogeneity, aiming to guide future research on the topic.

“…Although knowing different ER strategies is distinct from being able to use or implement them, children’s awareness of strategies is an important precursor to effective agentic regulation (Cole et al, 2009; Ştefan et al, 2017). Knowing more ways to change feelings offers children a larger skill set that through practice can be internalized and automatized.…”

“…Emotion dysregulation could be driven by a lack of knowledge of ways to change how one feels, by a decreased ability to implement strategies, or perhaps by a combination of regulatory deficits. There is evidence that children’s awareness of emotion regulation (ER) strategies supports their growing regulatory abilities and often precedes effective use and implementation (Cole, Dennis, Smith-Simon, & Cohen, 2009; Ştefan, Avram, & Miclea, 2017). But, very little work has explicated the specific contexts in which ER strategy knowledge may be particularly important with respect to anxiety.…”

Experiencing chronic stress early in life has been linked to anxiety symptoms and related outcomes. This study examined whether emotional self-regulatory processes, specifically children’s awareness of emotion regulation strategies, would qualify the link between cumulative stress and anxiety symptoms in childhood. One hundred and twenty-nine 6- to 11-year-olds ( M = 8.84; SD = 1.61; 47% girls) participated in the study. We derived an index of nine environmental stressors and quantified children’s emotion regulation strategy awareness from an interview about their emotional experiences. Parents reported on children’s anxiety symptoms. As expected, cumulative stress was positively associated with anxiety symptoms. Emotion regulation strategies moderated the effect of cumulative stress on anxiety symptoms, such that children with larger repertoires had fewer symptoms in the context of low stress, but more symptoms in the context of high stress. Results offer new insight in understanding anxiety symptoms in childhood and demonstrate the importance of children’s emotion regulation strategy knowledge as a novel facet of regulatory skill that may characterize the specific emotion dysregulation implicated in the emergence of psychopathology.

“…The parent-parent and parent-child working models built on secure attachment develop an emotional regulation system. These systems then help promote the internalization of appropriate strategies to manage negative emotions and self-control (Ştefan & Avram, 2017;Yoder, Brisson, & Lopez, 2016). This helps the child to regulate his negative emotions, which further aids the control of behavioral problems and promotes pro-social behaviors (Wong, Konishi, & Kong, 2020; Zhao, Liu, & Li, 2020).…”

This study aimed to examine the direct and indirect relationship between father involvement, co-parenting relationship quality, and social-emotional behaviors of children in the collectivistic, patriarchal societal context of Pakistan. The study is a correlational study that was conducted on children and adolescents ages 4-17. A purposive sampling strategy was used to collect data from 160 fathers, who gave information about their involvement in child-rearing activities, co-parenting relationship quality with their wives, and child social-emotional behaviors. The results indicated that father involvement has a negative correlation (r= .11; P= .07) with child problem behaviors, and a significant positive correlation with child pro-social behaviors (r= .15; P= .04). Whereas, co-parenting relationship quality had a significant negative correlation of (r= .30; P=.00) with child problem behaviors and a significant positive correlation of (r= .29; P=.00) with child pro-social behaviors. Results of the moderated mediational analysis showed that co-parenting relationship quality does not mediate the relationship (B= .014, p= .74) between father involvement and child pro-social behavior, but working hours of father do moderate the relationship (B= .014, p= .02). In conclusion, it can be stated that flexibility in the work hours of fathers and helping them be involved with their families can aid the healthy development of children and families in Pakistan.
