“…However, these findings are less surprising given that depression is related to many factors outside the parent-child context (Chronis, Pelham, Gnagy, Roberts, & Aronoff, 2003). The STEPP program, which included a problemsolving component targeting a range of difficulties, did not provide specific benefits on ratings of depression.…”

Behavioral parent training is an efficacious treatment for attention-deficit=hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, single-mother households are at high risk for poor outcomes during and following behavioral parent training. This study randomly assigned cohorts of 120 single mothers of children (ages 5-12 years) with ADHD to a waitlist control group, a traditional behavioral parent training program, or an enhanced behavioral parent training program-the Strategies to Enhance Positive Parenting (STEPP) program. Intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated benefits of participating in behavioral parent training, in general, and the STEPP program more specifically at immediate posttreatment on child and parental functioning. Moreover, the STEPP program resulted in increased engagement to treatment. However, results indicated that behavioral parent training does not normalize behavior for most children and treatment gains are not maintained.

“…Improved parent-child interactions, decreased negative parenting practices, and improved ratings of parental effectiveness often occur with MPH treatment (Stein et al 1996;Hechtman et al 2004). In contrast, medication has not been shown to increase positive parenting practices (Hechtman et al 2004) or positive changes in parent functioning, such as improved mood and ability to complete tasks (Chronis et al 2003). In the current study, parental stress was not differentially reduced in parents whose children were treated with MPH relative to those on PL.…”

“…These findings emphasize the importance of understanding contextual factors within the family system that contribute to children's outcomes, as well as to identifying potential mediating and moderating variables that could affect treatment response. The type of treatment that children and families receive is thus an important consideration for research that considers the development of comorbid disorders, as studies have shown for example, that parent-child interactions improve following children's treatment with stimulant medication [60,61] which could impact children's functioning in a range of domains. From a clinical perspective, these results emphasize the importance of considering individual differences when conducting assessments and planning interventions for children with ADHD, given the range of comorbid problems, functional impairments and family issues that may complicate the clinical presentation and necessitate treatment for the whole family.…”

This review synthesizes recent research evidence regarding the parenting characteristics associated with families with children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a complex, heterogeneous disorder with a range of genetic and environmental factors that contribute to its behavioral expression and different developmental trajectories. The current review adopts a developmental psychopathology perspective to conceptualize the risk and protective factors that might shape the developmental pathways of the disorder across different domains. Following from Johnston and Mash's review (Johnston and Mash, Clin Child Fam Psychol Rev 4:183-207, 2001), the present review systematically examines empirical studies from 2000-2008 that investigate parenting variables in relation to the development of children with ADHD, with a particular focus on the development of externalizing and internalizing comorbidities, as well as functional impairments in academic and social contexts. The most recent research evidence uses correlational designs to show that ADHD is associated with problematic family functioning, including greater stress within the family, higher rates of parental psychopathology and conflicted parent-child relationships, which appears to be exacerbated in children with comorbid oppositional and conduct problems. However, there is an absence of literature that considers the role that parents play in contributing to children's development in areas such as academic achievement and peer competence, as well as the development of internalizing difficulties. Future research should examine family factors that are associated with resilience in children with ADHD, using longitudinal designs that reflect the dynamic changes associated with a developmental psychopathology framework.
