“…9 This may perpetuate important unintended family consequences because parents influence their child's development through communication and relationships. 23,[39][40][41] The intensive and extraordinary circumstances can prompt parents to redefine parenting, as they manage the ongoing distress of opportunities lost for their children, families, and selves, and consider an uncertain future. 9,42 Redefining parenting in LTI may intensify the perceived cumulative threat of LTI because the conception of parenting they can achieve may not align with the conception of parenting they want to achieve for their children.…”

“…Perceived differences from initial expectations often ultimately required caregivers to alter family management (e.g., finally agreeing to speak with social work about the survivor applying for disability). While we do not understand how parents/caregivers make these changes, over time, they begin to revise expectations [28], making adjustments to tasks of parenting/caregiving. Clinicians can address uncertainty by providing coping skills to manage stressful situations [29] and offering extensive information about potential impairments and available resources [30].…”

Purpose Children diagnosed with brain tumors increasingly survive to adulthood, although they do so with needs often requiring continued parental caregiving. We sought to describe the nature of caregivers’ expectations about survivors’ function and how expectations connect to ongoing management and decision-making. Methods Forty-five qualitative interviews with mother-caregivers were conducted and coded for themes related to expectations for their adolescent/young adult children living post-childhood brain tumors. Results Five main themes emerged as integral to mother-caregiver expectations: realizing a difference in the survivor, noticing limitations to independence in the survivor, memories of learning about clinical prognoses as understood from consent meetings and education, managing these realizations, and acknowledging unresolved challenges. Conclusions Caregiver expectations are influenced by both initial clinical interactions and contemporary family dynamics and require individual- and family-specific survivorship planning. As caregiver expectations can influence management behaviors that impact outcomes and possibly independence, implications for clinician-caregiver shared decision-making are substantial.

“…The demonstrated relationships of demographic characteristics to MCI provide support for Barnard's Model, in which the environment, mother, child, or any combination of the three can interrupt the adaptive processes of interaction (Oxford & Findlay, ). Environmental stability and supportive primary caregiving relationships act as buffers against experiences that may negatively influence or become toxic to the child's development (Garner, ; Horodynski & Gibbons, ; Mooney‐Doyle, Deatrick, & Horowitz, ; Shonkoff et al, ). Mothers who are able to perceive and accurately interpret their child's communication signals and respond appropriately, more easily engage their child in meaningful interaction using age‐appropriate language and motivators.…”

The effect of the mother-child relationship on long-term child development has received research attention for decades. Because the quality and quantity of mother-infant interactions have been established as important predictors of the child's development, early identification of areas in the relationship requiring support and intervention is essential for promoting positive child outcomes. The Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale (NCAT) is an instrument long used to quantify the quality of interaction in the mother-child relationship during the first 36 months of a child's life. While the NCAT has been shown to be a reliable and valid instrument, limited evidence exists of the theoretical congruence between the Barnard Model it is based on and the NCAT scale. The psychometric properties of the NCAT scale and subscales were examined using item response theory in relation to characteristics of interactions in the Barnard Model using data collected during a clinic visit at 12 months of infant age in a sample of mothers and children (N = 1,121 dyads) from a community-based sample in Shelby County, TN. In this secondary analysis, descriptive statistics, reliabilities, and factor loadings for the NCAT were obtained using confirmatory factor analysis and augmented to form multiple indicators, multiple causes models, linking demographic predictors of the mothers and children to the NCAT subscales. Results supported scale abbreviation and theoretical congruence with the Barnard Model, which may provide researchers and practitioners with a more concise, reliable way of measuring maternal-child interaction in community settings.
