“…Parenting style that leads to unreasonable expectations of the parents from their adolescent children was reported to affect the onset of addiction among the latter (Hojjat et al, 2016). Parents with substance use disorders were found to have infants with temperament disturbances, which in turn predicted their substance use between the ages of 10-12 years (Horner et al, 2015).…”

Background: Egyptian street youth use substances including tobacco, illicit drugs, and pharmaceutical drugs. To understand the circumstances, including adverse childhood experiences, that place adolescents at risk for engaging in substance use, we conducted in-depth interviews among a sample of Egyptian street children. Methods: From youth residing at or attending Caritas, a non-profit organization, which provides shelter and education to street youth, seven girls and twelve boys, aged 12 to 18 years, participated in open-ended, in-depth interviews. Results: Eight out of the 19 participants reported family history (early exposure) to substance use; and seven of them were initiated by either a family member (sibling), friend or coworker. Most of the participants reported a history of conflict with or abuse (verbal or physical) by their parents or siblings, or stressful situations at home; they used substance(s) to alleviate their stress. Few attended school, and some were forced to work and help their family. Conclusions: Among Egyptian youth, adverse childhood experiences, such as poverty, child abuse, and family substance use, challenge somewhat susceptible youths and lead them to the path of substance use and addiction. Prevention intervention should be multifaceted, culturally adaptable, and primarily targeting the social environment during childhood.

“…Some studies have reported the coexistence of some characteristics such as hostility, aggression, forcefulness in parents and maladaptive and abnormal behaviors in children. [25][26][27] One of the main criteria for all personality disorders is disturbance in interpersonal relationships. Therefore, the relationship between substance use in children and adolescents and personality disorders in their parents can be explained using theories of interpersonal relationships.…”

Background: This study investigated how the parents' personality disorders may be related to substance use disorder in children and adolescents. Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study in which 28,540 children and adolescents (aged 6 to 18 years) and their parents participated between 2015 and 2016. The diagnosis of substance use was made using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia--Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) interview and the personality disorders were assessed using Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory -Third Edition (MCMI-III). The parents were also surveyed for their personality assessed with MCMI. Results: The results showed that the paranoid personality disorder in father (odds ratio [OR] = 8.34, 95% CI, P = 0.042) and borderline personality disorder in mother (OR = 4.6, 95% CI, P = 0.049) increase the chance of substance use in children. Conclusion:The findings suggest that in designing preventive programs for substance use, the personality characteristics of the parents need to be taken into account.

“…There are many rigid opinions that a child should do everything expected of him, that he cannot make the right decisions about his future, that he should be perfect in every way and he makes mistakes knowingly and willingly, and that parents should be excellent parents and the relationship with their children should be very good, which constitutes the irrational beliefs of parents (Bernard, 2004, as cited in Joyce, 2006Roehling & Robin, 1986). When the literature is examined, parents' irrational beliefs are associated with parents' relationships with their children, and parental behaviors (Ellis, 1979;Hojjat et al, 2016;Johnston, 1996;Joyce, 1990;Keller & Otto, 2009). However, it is observed that parents' irrational beliefs are somehow transferred to their children (Johnston, 2009).…”

Children's Overall Self-Worth Irrational Beliefs of Parents Parental Behaviors Family RelationshipIn this study, it was examined whether family relationship perceived by children, parental behaviors and irrational beliefs of parents predicted overall self-worth levels of children. A total of 1500 people participated in the study, including 500 students attending the 4th grade in Hatay and their parents. Personal Information Form, Parent Irrational Beliefs Scale (PIBS), Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ), Family Relationship Scale for Children (FRSC) and Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) were used as data collection tools in the study. In order to analyze the data, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted. According to the results obtained, there is a significant relationship between parents' irrational beliefs, parenting behaviors, children's perception of family relationships and general selfworth. Supportive family relationship, discouraging family relationship, unrealistic expectations of parents, father's parental involvement, poor monitoring/supervision and corporal punishment behaviors predict the overall self-worth level of the children. The variable that significantly predicts children's overall self-worth, on the other hand, is supportive family relationship. The results of the research were discussed in the light of the literature.
