“…This suggests that more adaptive parenting is not related to symptoms of eating disorders, which is in accordance with literature which has found more favourable parenting to be related to lower levels of other mental health symptoms (e.g., Leinonen, Solantaus & Punamäki, 2003).…”

“…In the current systematic review, parenting practices were hampered when parents experienced psychological distress and this subsequently results in adolescent risk taking behaviour. The effect of parental mental health can be found in a previous study, which highlighted that parental mental health threatens the adjustment of their children [73].…”

Aim:The aim of the systematic study was to determine the effect of parenting practices on adolescent risk behaviours such as substance use and sexual risk behaviour.Method: Quantitative research studies were systematically collected from various databases such as Academic Search Complete, MEDLINE (Pubmed), JSTOR, Project Muse and SAGE for the duration of 2003-2013 which was within the 10 year period of relevant literature to the date of study.Results: Findings established that parental monitoring and communication prevented drug initiation, delayed alcohol initiation, and sexual debut, increased alcohol refusal efficacy, and decreased delinquent behaviour and risk taking behaviours in high risk adolescents. Conclusion:This review shows that parental practices play significant protective and promotive roles in managing adolescent risk behaviours.

“…Also, maternal depression has been shown to indirectly influence the father-infant interaction negatively (Bradley & Slade, 2011;Goodman, 2008). Comparable effects of maternal and paternal depression on parenting behaviours have been found (e.g., Cummings, Keller & Davies, 2005;Leinonen, Solantaus & Punamaki, 2003). However, few observational studies have looked at father-infant interactions in relation to paternal and maternal pre and postnatal mental health, as previous PARENTS' MENTAL HEALTH AND PARENT-BABY INTERACTIONS 6 studies have mainly relied on maternal postpartum self-report or interview measures and concern older children.…”

Permanent repository link AbstractThe aims of the current study were to examine the effect of fathers' and mothers' pre and postnatal mental health on mother-infant and father-infant interactions. Mental health was broadly defined to include anxiety, depression and PTSD. A community sample of 44 mothers and 40 fathers from 45 families completed questionnaire measures of mental health in late pregnancy and three months postpartum. Mother-infant and father-infant interactions were observed and videoed three months postpartum and analysed using the CARE-index.Results showed that prenatal mental health, in particular anxiety, was associated with parentinfant interactions to a greater extent than postnatal mental health. Fathers' prenatal symptoms were associated with higher paternal unresponsiveness and infant passivity whilst fathers' postnatal symptoms were associated with higher levels of infant difficulty in the father-baby interaction. The results also indicated that mothers and fathers interaction with their babies were similar, both on average and within the couples, with 34% being inept or at risk. These findings highlight the need for early detection and prevention of both mental health and parent-infant relationship problems in fathers as well as mothers. However, further prospective and longitudinal studies are needed to understand the influences of parental mental health on the parent-infant interactions further. Also it should be noted that the mental health scores were low in this well-educated, middle-class relatively low risk community sample of two-parent families, and that future studies therefore would benefit from focusing on more vulnerable groups of parents.
