“…The initial evaluation of the model yielded poor to mediocre fit to the data (χ 2 [154] = 641.97, root mean-squared error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.09, Comparative Fit Index [CFI] = 0.83, and Tucker-Lewis Index [TLI] = 0.79). Within these results, several areas of modification were indicated.…”

“…This is a significant finding given that early identification and prevention of child conduct problems is critical for improving developmental trajectories. 2 Although numerous studies have addressed the role of parent mental health problems in parenting and child behavior problems, little work has examined the potential role that general physical health among parents might play in parenting and child behavior problems in the general population. Our findings also provide initial evidence of pathways through which parental physical health and function might impact child behavior problems, indicating potentially modifiable intervention targets.…”

Objective: Caring for young children is a physically demanding task, and some evidence suggests parental physical limitations may impact the parent-child relationship and child behavioral development, but research examining this dynamic is nascent. Methods: This study aims to explicate the role of general parent physical health problems in child disruptive behavior outcomes. A model that included physical and mental health, parenting style and self-efficacy, and child behavior symptom ratings was derived. The tenability of the model was assessed using Pearson's correlations, followed by structural equation modeling using data from 375 parents with a child between 18 months and 5 years. Results: After several modifications to the initial model, findings revealed that higher levels of parent self-reported physical and mental health concerns indirectly influence child behavior symptoms through different pathways. Impaired parent physical health was associated with poorer parental self-efficacy and more disruptive child behavior, whereas increased parent mental health concerns were associated with a more negative parenting style and lower self-efficacy, which was related to more child behavior symptoms. Conclusion: Findings elucidate the need for increased awareness and screening of parent physical health limitations in pediatric primary care. Furthermore, appropriate interventions among parents with physical health problems may target different aspects of parenting than routinely discussed. Keywords parent physical health; mental health; parenting style; parental self-efficacy; child behavior Early childhood disruptive behavior problems (e.g., oppositionality, aggression, and hyperactivity) along with maladaptive parenting practices increase the risk of long-term child problems, including academic underachievement and delinquency. 1 Identifying and ameliorating risk of externalizing problems and suboptimal parenting is therefore vital to improving the developmental trajectories of children. 2 Parent mental health is one of the most well-established predictors of both maladaptive parenting and child functioning, and

“…Answering this question is important because it has been argued that prevention programs should be targeted at young children, before victimization stabilizes in middle childhood and detrimentally impacts long-term functioning (Hanish & Guerra, 2004;Pouwels, Souren, Lansu, & Cillessen, 2016). As social behavior is more malleable in early childhood than in adolescence, early intervention of social behavior is expected to yield higher returns than programs that target peer victimization in adolescence (Heckman, 2006;Shaw & Taraban, 2017). Moreover, early childhood functioning forms the basis for social relationships and well-being throughout later in development; thus, there should be long-term payoffs from early intervention (Hay, Payne, & Chadwick, 2004).…”

The aim of this 8-year longitudinal study was to predict children's (n = 96) level of self-reported victimization at age 9 and their development of victimization from age 9 to 13 from parent-reported and teacher-reported internalizing and externalizing behaviors at age 5. We also examined whether ego-resiliency was a protective factor in these associations. Findings revealed that early childhood externalizing behavior was positively related to chronic experiences of peer victimization from age 9 to 13, especially among children with low levels of egoresiliency. Internalizing behavior in early childhood was not related to peer victimization throughout middle childhood and adolescence. Suggestions for further research and practical implications for early prevention of peer victimization were discussed. assessed whether early childhood internalizing and externalizing

“…The question not yet addressed pertains to factors which may affect parents’ reports of their adoptive children’s behavioral problems. In particular, some parents’ individual features (i.e., temperament traits and genetic markers) and some children’s at risk variables, i.e., age at adoption [ 9 , 10 ] may play a role in the association with one of the main features of children’s mental health, i.e., emotional and behavioral problems. Temperament has been associated with the self-regulatory processes parents use to regulate interaction with their children and select parental strategies they rely on to control their children’s behavior [ 11 ].…”

The first year after adoption constitutes a sensitive period for both strengthening the new emotional bond in the family and checking its appropriate development by adoption services. A key variable for children’s catch-up are adoptive parents’ socioemotional and individual features. The aim of this study is to investigate links between adoptive mothers’ individual features and behavioral problems in their children in the first year after adoption placement, by testing the moderating role of both age at adoption and maternal genetic polymorphisms. Seventy-eight adoptive mothers completed temperament and genetic measures. Mothers showed a specific pattern of interaction between basic temperament traits and genetic markers in their assessment of children’s behavioral problems; dopamine D4 receptor gene and children’s age at adoption are two moderators in the association in which mothers’ temperament was affecting the evaluation of their children’s behavioral problems. Findings highlight a still undervalued area of parenting resources in the process of post-institutionalized children’s catch-up after adoption placement, by showing how individual features count in the commonly measured variable of children’s behavioral and emotional problems. This could help in orienting identification and choice of key variables for family assessment after adoption placement, thus contributing in fostering children’s healthy development.
