“…In this study, it was found that the FTP applied to the fathers had a positive impact on their children's social skills such as relationship skills, regulation of anger, adjustment to changes, coping with peer influence, verbal self-explanation, self-management, determining an aim, listening, completion of given tasks, acceptance of results. This finding is consistent with previous studies conducted with the fathers and parents of normally developing children, with autism and lymphoma (Bearss, 2015;Khanjari, 2014;Kim et al, 2011;Lau, Rapee & Coplan, 2017;Major, Seabra-Santos & Martin, 2020;O'Donnell & Kirkner, 2014;Scahill et al, 2016;Tonge et al, 2014;).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a Father Training Program (FTP) on the social skills of pre-school children. The study was carried out in two preschools in the central province of Kilis in Turkey. A pretest-posttest control group experimental design was implemented in this study. Both the study group and the control group consisted of 40 preschool children and their fathers from different preschools. The FTP was implemented with fathers in the experimental group for twelve weeks, but the FTP was not applied to the fathers in the control group. In this study, Social Skills Assessment Scale (SSAS) was used. Data were collected by preschool teachers before and after FTP. Covariant analysis with one factor (ANCOVA) and t test were used to analyze the data. At the end of the FTP, it was observed that there were statistically significant differences between the children in the control group and experimental group in terms of their level of social skills (p<.01). It was observed that the difference between the mean scores of post-test and retention tests of the children in the experimental group was insignificant and the effect of the FTP was continuing. This shows that training program including fathers has an effect on children's social skills.

“…The current study may also provide some suggestions for ECEC practice. Although a child's temperament is a complex variable with different traits and dimensions, parents generally agree about their infants' temperament in the first year, acknowledging modest differences between parental perceptions (see also Major et al, 2020). In addition, parents' perceptions are meaningfully related to the socio‐emotional development from early childhood to adolescence (Kostyrka‐Allchorne et al, 2019).…”

Infants in Dutch daycare: Exploring fine‐grained dimensions of temperament

Infants attend daycare at an early age, which raises questions about children's sensitivity to the childcare environment and the role of different temperamental traits in their development in the early years. In a two‐year longitudinal study with parent‐ and caregiver‐reported data for Dutch children at the age of 1 and 2 years (120 children from 92 groups), we explored fine‐grained dimensions of negative affect and their relationship with socio‐emotional functioning. Especially shyness, frustration and soothability proved robust predictors of socio‐emotional development across parent‐ and caregiver‐reported data with both concurrent (Year‐1) and predictive associations (Year‐2). Also, the quality of caregiver–child interactions moderated caregiver‐reported child wellbeing and competence. Infants that are open to social contacts, are easy to comfort and have low levels of frustration, and have higher levels of wellbeing and less problem behaviour in early daycare than peers with higher levels of shyness and frustration and relatively low levels of soothability.

“…Even though mothers spend more time taking care of their children, fathers' participation in child-rearing has increased in today's Western societies, particularly in Finland. However, mothers' and fathers' approaches to interacting with children may be different (Paquette, 2004) in a way that mothers may be the primary caregiver and fathers the primary playmate (Major, Seabra-Santos, & Martin, 2020). Thus, fathers may assess their child's behaviours more positively than mothers (Alakortes et al, 2017), making them less suitable for prosocial behaviour of socially withdrawn children.…”

This study focused on associations between children's socioemotional development (prosocial behaviour, internalizing and externalizing problems) and parenting styles (affection, behavioural control, and psychological control), and the moderating role of children's social withdrawal (as a temperamental characteristic) in these associations. Children's socioemotional development (n = 314) were rated by teachers at three-time points (grades 1-3). Parents completed questionnaires measuring their parenting styles at the same three-time points. The level of social withdrawal was obtained at the end of kindergarten from teachers' reports. Panel analysis showed that prosocial behaviour was associated with a higher level of affection, while externalizing problems were associated with a higher level of behavioural control. Among children with a high level of social withdrawal, prosocial behaviour predicted high maternal psychological control, while internalizing problems predicted high paternal psychological control. However, among children with a low level of social withdrawal, socioemotional development had no impact on parenting styles.
