“…First, children with delays who also exhibited significant behavior problems were excluded from this study; yet they constitute approximately 25% of this population and create considerable parental stress (Baker et al, 2003) and control problems (Keogh, Garnier, Bernheimer, & Gallimore, 2000). Similarly, gender may well exert an effect, but differences could not be examined because of the relatively small number of girls in our sample.…”

Mothers' Social Communicative Adjustments to Young Children With Mild Developmental Delays

et al. 2008

The social communication and compliance patterns of 63 mothers interacting with their young children who had mild developmental delays in social play and instructional tasks were examined in a longitudinal study. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that mothers appropriately adjust their social communications in accordance with children's developmental characteristics and task demands. The extent of scaffolding specificity that mothers used in the instructional task also indicated a high level of sensitivity to children's developmental characteristics. Analyses conducted over a 2-year period revealed that adjustments were commensurate with children's emerging social communication abilities, suggesting that mothers of children with developmental delays continue to display social communication patterns that are supportive of their child's development.

“…Existing research suggests that changes in parenting behaviors and parent-child interactions may be brought about by parental distress resulting from the child's condition (Quittner, Opipari, Regoli, & Jacobsen, 1992), by parental perceptions of the child (Holmbeck et al, 2002;Stern, Karraker, Sopko, & Norman, 2000), or as a result of the child's behavior, specifically, his or her need for structure and cognitive support (Keogh, Garnier, Bernheimer, & Gallimore, 2000;Landry et al, 1990). The literature on bonding and attachment suggests that maternal depression disrupts the natural reciprocity between parent and child (Tronick & Weinberg, 1997).…”

“…In fact, several studies have found parent-child interactions to be more related to child characteristics than parent characteristics. In a study of young children with developmental delays, Keogh et al (2000) found that the frequency and intensity of accommodations to the child's disability were related to the characteristics of the child, such as the need for frequent monitoring, rather than SES or maternal education. Similarly, Landry et al(1990) found that mothers of very-low-birth-weight toddlers were more likely to direct their children, whereas mothers of full-term children were more likely to use suggestions, even after controlling for child IQ and maternal education.…”

Objective-To understand how traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects parent-child interactions acutely following injury.Participants-Young children hospitalized for TBI (n = 80) and orthopedic injuries (OI; n = 113). HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author ManuscriptMethod-Raters coded videotaped interactions during free play and structured tasks for parental warmth/responsiveness and negativity and child warmth, behavior regulation, and cooperation. Raters also counted parental directives, critical/restricting statements, and scaffolds.Results-Parents of children with TBI exhibited less warm responsiveness and made more directive statements during a structured task than parents in the OI group. Children with TBI displayed less behavior regulation than children with OI. Parental warm responsiveness was more strongly related to child cooperativeness in the OI group than in the TBI group. Child behavior also mediated group differences in parental responsiveness and directiveness. TBI accounted for as much variance in parental behaviors as or more than did sociodemographic factors.Conclusion-TBI-related changes in child behavior may negatively influence parent-child interactions and disrupt the reciprocity between parent and child.Keywords early childhood; traumatic brain injury; parent-child interaction; family impactResearch has clearly documented the central role during early childhood that parenting behaviors play in a child's social, emotional, and cognitive development (Bornstein & Tamis-LeMonda, 1989;Landry, Smith, Swank, Assel, & Vellet, 2001;Weizman & Snow, 2001). These findings suggest that warm and responsive parenting, together with verbal stimulation and cognitive support, contributes to optimal cognitive and behavioral development in typically developing children. However, less is known about how medical conditions that affect the health and functioning of the child, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), influence the quality and nature of the parent-child relationship. Some studies suggest that parents of young children with health problems display more negativity (PippSiegal & Biringen, 1998) and directiveness (Landry, Chapieski, Richardson, Palmer, & Hall, 1990) than parents of typically developing children in their interactions. However, research with other populations and somewhat older samples (e.g., preadolescents with spina bifida) found no differences in parent-child interactions as a function of the child's diagnosis (Seefeldt et al., 1997). Findings differ as a function of the methodology (e.g., parent report vs. observation) and population of interest, making it difficult to draw inferences regarding how specific health conditions affect the parent-child relationship.Research regarding children with mental retardation (MR) has provided some of the best and most extensive evidence regarding the potential effects of child cognitive status on parentchild interactions. This body of literature also underscores the potential complexity of these relati...

“…Given the strong correlation between child behavior problems and parental wellbeing depicted above and available prospective studies showing that parental stress may be child-driven [39], interventions which improve the child's functioning can be expected to decrease the parents' strain. A detailed review of treatment recommendations for individuals with FXS was presented by Hills-Epstein et al [40].…”

Caregiver Burden in Fragile X Families

Complex caregiving issues occur in multigenerational families carrying the fragile X mutation and premutation. The same family members may care for children or siblings with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and for elderly parents with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Family caregivers experience anxiety, depression, neglect of personal health care needs, employment difficulties, and loss of social support, leading to isolation and further psychiatric consequences. There is growing awareness of caregiver burden with regard to parents of children with FXS, but much less is known about the needs of informal caregivers of patients with FXTAS. In this paper, we review the available literature to date and provide suggestions for further exploration of caregivers' needs. Evidence-based strategies to address these needs are included. Many more research studies exploring caregiver burden in multigenerational fragile X families are needed, as well as studies aimed at investigating interventions and their impact on reduction.
