“…Indeed, recent brain‐imaging studies with mothers have suggested that the capacity of mothers to detect positive versus negative child responses in the frontal cortex is inversely related to stress hormone reactivity (Ho, Konrath, Brown, & Swain, ). This supports the notion that home‐visitation programs that engage fathers, foster a positive coparenting relationship, provide support to fathers, and reduce stress also hold promise (Guterman, ; Guterman et al., )—perhaps through identifiable brain pathways.…”

With a secure foundation in basic research across mammalian species in which fathers participate in the raising of young, novel brain-imaging approaches are outlining a set of consistent brain circuits that regulate paternal thoughts and behaviors in humans. The newest experimental paradigms include increasingly realistic baby-stimuli to provoke paternal cognitions and behaviors with coordinated hormone measures to outline brain networks that regulate motivation, reflexive caring, emotion regulation, and social brain networks with differences and similarities to those found in mothers. In this article, on the father brain, we review all brain-imaging studies on PubMed to date on the human father brain and introduce the topic with a selection of theoretical models and foundational neurohormonal research on animal models in support of the human work. We discuss potentially translatable models for the identification and treatment of paternal mood and father-child relational problems, which could improve infant mental health and developmental trajectories with potentially broad public health importance.

“…All of the programs designed clear criteria for participants, provided detailed description of interventions, and defined prespecified outcome measures. Only nine parenting programs reported the entire implementation process of randomization, including how the random allocation sequence was generated, the random allocation mechanism, who implemented the randomization, and who was blinded (Armstrong, Fraser, Dadds, & Morris, 1999; Barlow et al, 2007; Duggan et al, 2007; Duggan et al, 1999; DuMont et al, 2008; Guterman et al, 2013; Jouriles et al, 2010; Olds, Henderson, Chamberlin, & Tatelbaum, 1986; Oveisi et al, 2010). All studies were included because the studies provided sufficient data to compute effect sizes with satisfactory methodological quality scores (example.g., mean, SD , p , events rate, odds ratio, and sample sizes).…”

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of parenting programs in reducing child maltreatment and modifying associated factors as well as to examine the moderator variables that are linked to program effects. For this meta-analysis, we searched nine electronic databases to identify randomized controlled trials published before September 2013. The effect sizes of various outcomes at different time points were computed. From the 3,578 studies identified, we selected 37 studies for further analysis. The total random effect size was 0.296. Our results showed that parenting programs successfully reduced substantiated and self-reported child maltreatment reports and reduced the potential for child maltreatment. The programs also reduced risk factors and enhanced protective factors associated with child maltreatment. However, the effects of the parenting programs on reducing parental depression and stress were limited. Parenting programs produced positive effects in low-, middle-, and high-income countries and were effective in reducing child maltreatment when applied as primary, secondary, or tertiary child maltreatment intervention. In conclusion, parenting programs are effective public health approaches to reduce child maltreatment. The evidence-based service of parenting programs could be widely adopted in future practice.

“…These include providing sufficient life standards for the children and their caregivers, monitoring all mothers' and children's development starting from pregnancy, and providing social support opportunities for their caregivers. The intervention programs should also be designed specifically for the individuals by considering any special needs based on their social environment and it has to be home based (Guterman et al, 2013;McGuigane, Katzev, & Pratt, 2003). It is suggested that home-based programs for preventing child neglect and abuse have a direct protective effect in terms of fostering motherhood skills, the child's home setting, and the child's development (Howard & Brooks-Gunn, 2009;Proctor & Brestan-Knight, 2016).…”

In the present research, the aim was to develop, implement, and examine the effectiveness of an education program for mothers for the prevention of child neglect. In the study, the “Mother Education Program to Prevent Child Neglect” was initially designed for implementation and a quasi-experimental design involving pretest/posttest, and one-month follow-up test was implemented to examine the effectiveness of the trial procedure. The study group of the research consisted of 24 mothers (12 mothers in the intervention group and 12 mothers in the comparison group) who agreed to participate in the study. In order to collect the sociodemographic information about the children and their mothers, an “Individual Information Form” was administered. In order to assess the neglectful behaviors of the mothers, the Parent Form of the Multidimensional Neglectful Behavior Scale-Parents Form was used. As a result of the study, a significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest scores of the mothers in the intervention group ( p<.05). The cognitive neglect and the total neglect scores of the mothers in the intervention group were found to significantly decrease after the completion of the education program. The results of the follow-up test also revealed that the effect of the education program for mothers was sustained after one month. Resultantly, suggestions related to the prevention of child neglect have been made for parents, professionals, institutions, and researchers working on the subject.
