Longitudinal Relations Between Parenting and Child Adjustment in Young Children

Influence of Parenting Styles on the Social Development of Children

“…It is plausible to aver that parenting styles have influence on children's total development. These amply demonstrate that parents can have a great impact on their children's educational outcomes (Miki, 2008) and that parenting styles and parenting practices shape children's development (Steinberg, et al, 1992, Gadeyne, et al, 2004.…”

Externalizing behavior trajectories: The role of parenting, sibling relationships and child personality

“…Despite this, research has only recently paid explicit attention to the changing nature of the parent-child context and how these changes may be associated with changes in child adjustment (Richmond, Stocker, & Rienks, 2005). Decreasing levels of parental support and increasing levels of parental negative control have been shown to worsen EPB in children (Gadeyne, Ghesquière, & Onghena, 2004). Similarly, increasing EPB has been demonstrated over time in children who are disfavored compared to their siblings (Richmond et al, 2005).…”

“…Although parents often have similar parenting strategies within families, due to both assortative mating and mutual influence and decision-making (Coley, Votruba-Drzal, & Schindler, 2008), research has shown that mothers tend to engage in more frequent interactions with their children and are more responsive than fathers; fathers tend to be more demanding and have more distant relationships with their children (Lewis & Lamb, 2003). Previous studies have found that the correlation between parenting and child EPB tends to be higher for mothers than for fathers (see Rothbaum & Weisz, 1994 for a meta-analytic review), and also that maternal parenting is more strongly predictive of children's EPB than paternal parenting (Aunola & Nurmi, 2005;Gadeyne et al, 2004;Meunier et al, in press). However, the differentiated and independent ways in which fathers and mothers influence their children's behavior are far from being fully understood.…”

How parents influence school grades: Hints from a sample of adoptive and biological families

“…Among developmental and clinical psychologists, parenting is considered to be an important influence on children's academic outcomes (e.g., Gadeyne, Ghesquiere, & Onghena, 2004;Steinberg, Elmen, & Mounts, 1989). This is supported by a large volume of evidence from longitudinal (e.g., Steinberg, Lamborn, Darling, Mounts, & Dornbusch, 1994) and experimental intervention studies (e.g, Forgatch & DeGarmo, 1999), as well as by studies of concurrent associations.…”

“…There were significant genetic influences common to IQ and parental expectations of educational attainment, parenting and engagement in school, school grades and engagement in school, parental expectations for offspring educational attainment and school grades, and IQ and school grades. A possible interpretation of the common genetic influences involving parenting is that parents use their own experience with school in shaping the ways in which they parent their offspring.Among developmental and clinical psychologists, parenting is considered to be an important influence on children's academic outcomes (e.g., Gadeyne, Ghesquiere, & Onghena, 2004;Steinberg, Elmen, & Mounts, 1989).
