“…The reason can be explained as follows: According to the social learning theory, children mostly observe their parents ( 17 ). They may copy the emotions and expressions of their parents, as well as emotion regulation strategies, because parents are the main attachment objects of the children ( 18 ). Mothers are the primary caregivers of young children.…”

ObjectiveTo compare the emotional and behavioral characteristics of firstborn children during the pregnancy of a second child and only children of school-age in urban districts of Chongqing, China, and to explore the influencing factors of emotional and behavioral problems.MethodsWe recruited mothers of firstborn children and only children from two hospitals and one primary school using purposive sampling. Questionnaires and the Parental Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were used to collect basic information, family socioeconomic status, family atmosphere and emotional and behavioral characteristics of their children in the survey.ResultsThe sample consisted of 1,155 children, including 477 firstborn children and 678 only children. The average scores of internalizing (4.47), externalizing (6.05), total problems (22.04), and six emotional and behavioral of firstborn children were significantly lower than those of only children (p < 0.05). When adjusted for children's demographic, socioeconomic and family relationship covariates, the scores of firstborn children internalizing problems (β = −1.423, p = 0.000), externalizing problems (β = −0.661, p = 0.048), and total problems (β = −4.387, p = 0.000) were also significantly lower than those of only children. All children with more difficult parenting and development temperament, greater family economic pressure, poorer relationships between mother and child, less harmonious family atmosphere and father's permissive parenting style had more internalizing problems, externalizing problems and total problems (p < 0.05). Boys had more externalizing problems (β = 1.939, 95% CI = 1.380–2.497) and total problems (β = 4.908, 95% CI = 3.045–6.772) than girls.ConclusionFirstborn children had fewer emotional and behavioral problems than their counterparts who were only children. This research helps to understand the social impact of the implementation of the two-child policy in multiple dimensions.

“…Similar to many aspects of Chinese culture, the roles and involvement of parents in the lives of children in Taiwan have changed recently due to extensive interaction with Western societies and the social, economic, educational, and political transformations that have taken place in China in recent decades (Su et al, 2017). The government of Taiwan enacted several acts, such as the Regulations for Parental Involvement and the Gender Equality in Employment Act, to promote father involvement in childrearing.…”

Parenting is known to impact children’s executive function (EF) skills. However, nearly all the evidence comes from analyses of mother–child interaction. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Care Database in Taiwan, the relations between both mother–child and father–child interaction and 3-year-olds’ EF were investigated in 2,164 families. The results showed that mothers interacted with their children differently from fathers in terms of time distribution. Mothers were more equally involved in all aspects of parental involvement, whereas fathers spent more time in play. In addition, both mother–child and father–child play contributed to children’s EF; however, the mediating effect of child motor skills was more prominent for father–child play. This study not only suggests a potential distinct and complementary role of fathers in young children’s EF development but also indicates a unique mediating effect of motor skills in the path from parent–child play to child EF. Implications for parent education are discussed.

“…Kehilangan dan kerinduan adanya figur orangtua, terutama ayah, menimbulkan luka tersendiri bagi anak. Banyak penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ayah berperan besar dalam pengasuhan dengan menjadi role model, mendisiplinkan, meningkatkan keterampilan sosial, mendukung performansi akademis, dan menjamin kesejahteraan finansial dan psikologis (East, Jackson, & O'Brien, 2006;Gordon, 2017;Su, Kubricht, & Miller, 2017). Kurangnya keterlibatan atau kurang hangatnya hubungan ayah dengan anak dapat menjadi faktor risiko munculnya masalah perilaku anak.…”

During the recent years, klithih (juvenile crime) is considered one of the most common form of violence commited by young people in Yogyakarta. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for, and developmental pathway to, klithih among young people. Participants of this study were ten young offenders aged between 15-17 years old who were incarcerated in Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) Wonosari, Yogyakarta. Based on qualitative analysis, there were three risk factors, namely: 1) Poor parent-child relationships; 2) Commitment to deviant peer group; and 3) Low academic motivation. These risk factors influenced the development of juvenile delinquency and crime from childhood to adolescence and together they formed developmental pathway.
