“…Caregiving responsibilities towards young children include engaging girls and boys in affective interpersonal exchanges and stimulating them to understand their wider natural and designed environments. Overall,Bornstein and Putnick in Chapter IV (2016) found that more mothers than fathers engage in caregiving activities with their young children in almost every country studied. Child gender differences, however, were small and inconsistent across countries.…”

“…More girls than boys may engage in excessive household chores because chores are common activities and situations around the world that reinforce existing gender differences in adult roles. For example,Bornstein and Putnick in Chapter IV (2016) reported a consistent gender difference in parental caregiving of young children, and mothers still do the bulk of the housework, even in HIC (Bianchi, Milkie, Sayer, & Robinson, 2000). Because of these general predilections, caregivers may just feel that it will be easier to engage girls in such activities.…”

“…For example,Bornstein and Putnick in Chapter IV (2016) found that more primary caregivers played, sang songs, and took their young children outside than read, told stories, and named, counted, and drew with them. However, the base rates of all these kinds of caregiving were low across LMIC.…”

“…The next chapter describes the nature of the MICS microsystems survey, country-level gender equity and economic well-being macrosystem indicators used in association with the MICS, and the general analytic plan of substantive chapters in this Monograph . The chapters that follow then describe situations of girls and boys with successive foci on child growth and mortality in Chapter III (Bradley & Putnick, 2016), caregiving by mothers and fathers in Chapter IV (Bornstein & Putnick, 2016), discipline and violence in Chapter V (Deater-Deckard & Lansford, 2016), and child labor in Chapter VI (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016). These reports employ a dataset of approximately 2,000,000 respondents in 412,000 families in 41 LMIC (Figure 1.1).…”

How do girls and boys in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC) in the majority world vary with respect to central indicators of child growth and mortality, parental caregiving, discipline and violence, and child labor? How do key indicators of national gender equity and economic development relate to gender similarities and differences in each of these substantive areas of child development? This monograph of the SRCD is concerned with central topics of child gender, gendered parenting, gendered environments, and gendered behaviors and socializing practices in the underresearched and underserved world of LMIC. To examine protective and risk factors related to child gender in LMIC around the world, we used data from more than 2 million individuals in 400,000 families in 41 LMIC collected in the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, a household survey that includes nationally representative samples of participating countries. In the first chapter of this monograph, we describe the conceptual “gender similarities” and “bioecological” frameworks that helped guide the monograph. In the second chapter, we detail the general methodology adhered to in the substantive chapters. Then, in topical chapters, we describe the situations of girls and boys with successive foci on child growth and mortality, parental caregiving, family discipline and violence, and child labor. We conclude with a general discussion of findings from the substantive chapters in the context of gender and bioecological theories. Across 41 LMIC and four substantive areas of child development, few major gender differences emerged. Our data support a gender similarities view and suggest that general emphases on early child gender differences may be overstated at least for the developing world of LMIC.

Objective This study investigated treatment‐engagement fears, self‐efficacy, and accommodating and enabling in mothers and fathers of adolescent and adult children with eating disorders. Methods This study involved a secondary analysis of pre‐treatment data from a subsample of 143 parents (95 mothers; 48 fathers) from a Canada‐wide multi‐site study. Parents completed the Caregiver Traps Scale, Parents Versus Anorexia Scale, and the Accommodation and Enabling Scale for Eating Disorders. Data were analysed using factorial Multivariate Analysis of Variance and mediation via multiple regression. Results Mothers reported higher levels of treatment‐engagement fears than fathers. Among mothers, higher fear predicted lower self‐efficacy and more accommodating and enabling behaviours. Among fathers, neither fear nor self‐efficacy predicted accommodating and enabling. No differences in treatment‐engagement fear or self‐efficacy between parents of adolescent child and adult children were found at pre‐treatment. Conclusions Mothers' and fathers' experience different levels of fear related to their involvement in their ill‐child's treatment at pre‐treatment, and that fear is uniquely related to variables that impact treatment outcomes. There is a need to support parents even when their child is an adult. This study can inform family‐based treatments vis‐a‐vis tailoring interventions for mothers and fathers and providing support to parents of children with eating disorders across the lifespan.
