“…Low household chaos buffered children's self‐regulatory development from the negative effects of poverty by increasing parents’ responsiveness. Among children in Head Start, sleep, reading, and playtime routines were strongly associated with general self‐regulation, beyond the effects of sociodemographic characteristics and mothers’ mental health . Thus, family factors can exert direct and indirect protective effects on self‐regulation.…”

Appetite self‐regulation develops rapidly during the first 2 years of life, with implications for weight‐related health and well‐being over the life span. Attachment theory suggests that interpersonal interactions between caregivers and children are part of the biobehavioral system designed to promote the development of self‐regulation. However, parent–child dyads are embedded within the family system, which also influences individual differences in appetite self‐regulation. In this review, we synthesize research on appetite self‐regulation from the perspectives of attachment and family systems theories to identify strengths and limits in how we understand the development of appetite self‐regulation. We propose an integrative theoretical framework in which familial and dyadic factors influence appetite self‐regulation directly and indirectly via modifications to the quality of parent–child interactions during infancy and early childhood. Finally, we identify avenues for research to test pathways of risk, resilience, and well‐being toward optimal appetite self‐regulation and weight outcomes.

“…Predictable daily routines, consistent sleeping arrangements, and an organized environment have been shown to support child emotional regulation and social development (Bridley & Jordan, 2012; Ferretti & Bub, 2014). As seen in Table 3, six areas regarding routines were assessed.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility and usefulness of a universal screening tool, the Family Map Inventory (F MI), to assess family strengths and needs in a home visiting program. The FMI has been used successfully by center-based early childcare programs to tailor services to family need and build on existing strengths. Home visiting coordinators (N = 39) indicated the FMI would provide useful information, and they had the capacity to implement. In total, 70 families who enrolled in a Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) program were screened by the coordinator. The results of the FMI provided meaningful information about the home and parenting environment. Overall, most caregivers provided high levels of school readiness and parental warmth and low levels of family conflict and parenting stress. On the other hand, many families did not provide adequate food quality, exhibited chaotic home environments, and practiced negative discipline. This study demonstrated that the FMI is a feasible and useful option to assess comprehensive family needs in home visiting programs. It also demonstrated that the FMI provided home visiting coordinators a system to measure family strengths and needs. This could provide an assessment of program effectiveness and changes in the family’s environment.

“…In one of the few studies that considered gender and ethnicity, more frequent family rituals were found to protect Latina adolescent girls from cumulative risk factors (Loukas & Prelow, 2004). In contrast, family rituals have been found to be more strongly related to boys' outcomes than girls, including greater social competence (Ferretti, 2011) and better academic and physical health outcomes reported by teachers (Guidubaldi, Cleminshaw, Perry, Nastasi, & Lightel, 1986). In contrast, family rituals have been found to be more strongly related to boys' outcomes than girls, including greater social competence (Ferretti, 2011) and better academic and physical health outcomes reported by teachers (Guidubaldi, Cleminshaw, Perry, Nastasi, & Lightel, 1986).…”

Parenting Stress, Dinnertime Rituals, and Child Well‐being in Working‐Class Families

This study examined the extent to which family dinnertime rituals serve a protective role for families experiencing high levels of stress. Using data from a longitudinal study of working‐class couples, the role of dinnertime rituals as a moderator of mothers' and fathers' parenting stress and child psychosocial outcomes was investigated. Greater dinnertime rituals reported by fathers moderated the effect of parenting stress on internalizing problems for girls, but not for boys. Fathers' reports of dinnertime rituals were related to fewer behavioral symptoms, internalizing problems and externalizing problems, and greater adaptive skills for girls. No significant interaction effects for mothers' parenting stress or rituals were found, but there were significant main effects of mothers' parenting stress and dinnertime rituals on child outcomes. These findings suggest that dinnertime rituals can potentially moderate the effects of parenting stress on child outcomes and fathers and daughters showed the greatest benefits of these family practices.
