“…The same set of word-prompt outlines (Waters & Rodrigues-Doolabh, 2004) was used for each parent. The Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (LaFreniere & Dumas, 1996) and the Child Characteristics Questionnaire (Bates, Freeland, & Lounsbury, 1979) were given to the parent at the end of the visit. Most parents completed the questionnaires at that time.…”

Relations between fathers' and mothers' representations of attachment (independently assessed using an attachment script representation task) and children's secure base behavior (assessed using the Attachment Q-sort; AQS) were studied in 56 Portuguese families (mean age of child ¼ 31.9 months). Each parent's secure base script representation score predicted AQS security scores for the child with that parent at approximately equivalent degrees of association. However, both parental secure base script scores and AQS security scores were positively correlated across parents. A hierarchical regression predicting AQS security with father from both parent's scriptedness scores and from the AQS score with mother showed a unique, significant influence of father's scriptedness score and the AQS score with mother, but mother's scriptedness score did not uniquely add to the prediction. Difficult temperament was ruled out as a mediator of the cross-parent association for AQS security scores.

“…The CBCL is a widely used measure of children's behavioral/emotional problems with well-established psychometric properties. It consists of items rated on a 3-point response scale ranging from not true to very true, with some open-ended items designed to elicit detailed information about a particular problem behavior.Higher scores indicate higher externalizing behavior problems in kindergarten.Teacher ratings of externalizing behavior problems were measured using the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scales (LaFreniere & Dumas, 1996;LaFreniere, Dumas, Capuano, & Dubeau, 1992). The scale measures three overall dimensions of social competence, internalizing behavior problems, and externalizing behavior problems.…”

The purpose of this study was to test a conceptual model predicting children's externalizing behavior problems in kindergarten in a sample of children with alcoholic (n = 130) and nonalcoholic (n = 97) parents. The model examined the role of parents' alcohol diagnoses, depression, and antisocial behavior at 12-18 months of child age in predicting parental warmth/sensitivity at 2 years of child age. Parental warmth/sensitivity at 2 years was hypothesized to predict children's self-regulation at 3 years (effortful control and internalization of rules), which in turn was expected to predict externalizing behavior problems in kindergarten. Structural equation modeling was largely supportive of this conceptual model. Fathers' alcohol diagnosis at 12-18 months was associated with lower maternal and paternal warmth/sensitivity at 2 years. Lower maternal warmth/sensitivity was longitudinally predictive of lower child self-regulation at 3 years, which in turn was longitudinally predictive of higher externalizing behavior problems in kindergarten, after controlling for prior behavior problems. There was a direct association between parents' depression and children's externalizing behavior problems. Results indicate that one pathway to higher externalizing behavior problems among children of alcoholics may be via parenting and self-regulation in the toddler to preschool years. Keywordsalcoholism; parenting; self-regulation; externalizing behavior problems It is now well established that children of alcoholic parents are at increased risk for interpersonal and behavior problems, psychiatric disturbances, substance abuse (including early onset of alcohol use), and developmental trajectories of persistent alcohol problems (Chassin, Flora, & King, 2004;Jackson, Sher, & Wood, 2000;Jacob & Windle, 2000). Researchers have speculated that one pathway to later substance abuse disorders among children of alcoholics is through higher incidence of behavior problems or behavioral undercontrol, characterized by higher aggression, impulsivity, and sensation seeking (Sher, 1991). This model has been supported by empirical evidence indicating that children of alcoholic fathers have higher ratesCorrespondence concerning this article should be addressed to Rina D.

However, with the exception of recent reports from the Michigan Longitudinal Study (e.g., Loukas, Zucker, Fitzgerald, & Krull, 2003), few studies have investigated the mediational pathways explaining the association between parental alcohol problems and children's externalizing behavior problems using longitudinal data. Two important mediators of this association that have been implicated in studies using other high-risk samples are children's self-regulatory abilities and lower parental warmth/sensitivity.

“…The Sesame Workshop materials for families dealing with wounds and injuries aimed to bolster the resilience of children and their caregivers, using principles from Bandura's Social Learning theory (18,19) and parental stress theory (10). Targeted areas were caregivers' own well-being, their ability to be responsive to the child, their ability to help the child to cope, and their access to social support.…”

“…Caregiver outcomes included symptoms of depression (19), social isolation (8), sensitivity to children's attachment needs (20), and perceptions of their ability to help the child cope with the family member's injury. Child outcomes included security with caregiver (21), social competence (18), and anxious and aggressive behaviors (18). Home environment was measured as a function of disruption in home routines and disorder (22).…”
