“…The stress that parents experienced and the negative coercive/avoidant way that they dealt with the challenging situations are also consistent with the literature that indicates that parenting a child with AD/HD is stressful and overwhelming and that these parents have more negative and coercive parenting practises (Daley et al 2003;McKee et al 2004;Gerdes & Hoza 2006;Graziano et al 2011;Kendall 1998;Lewis-Abney 1993;Murphy & Barkley 1996;Theule et al 2012).…”

This qualitative research explored parents\u27 perspectives of parenting a child with AD/HD-Combined subtype (CT) who was unmedicated. Sixteen parents were interviewed twice and two parents were interviewed once. Data were analysed using grounded theory methods. Findings indicated that parents\u27 perspectives were primarily concerned with trying to control their child\u27s difficult behaviours. The substantive theory of Gaining Control that emerged explains the processes that parents used to try to control these behaviours. Two parental controlling/coping pathways were identified. An emotional pathway was associated with negative parental behaviours, poor outcomes, and high distress. The cognitive pathway was associated with surprisingly positive outcomes and low levels of distress. Important outcomes identified included achieving a positive cooperative relationship and highly elevated volitional performance. Processes and subprocesses are described and explained in detail. These findings may have significant clinical and educational implications for enhancing outcomes for the parents and their child

“…Psychogiou, Daley, Thompson, and Sonuga-Barke (2007) suggested that the increased probability of oppositional problems for children with ADHD can be attributed to the bidirectional nature of complex parent-child interactions. Also, studies have shown that parents of children with ADHD respond to the stress brought on by their child's behavior with inappropriate or ineffective parenting (McKee, Harvey, Danforth, Ulaszek, & Friedman, 2004).…”

The current study examined the experiences of a sample of mothers of children with ADHD. Differences between the single and partnered, employed, and unemployed women on the variables of interest were investigated. The contributions of maternal psychological health, employment characteristics, and the marital relationship to the prediction of parenting behaviors were explored. Moreover, the moderating role of employment characteristics on the relationship between maternal psychological health and parenting behaviors was examined. Results showed differences between the single and partnered women on employment characteristics. Maternal psychological health was found to be predictive of poor monitoring and supervision and inconsistent discipline behaviors. Last, flexibility-benefits used was found to moderate the relationship between maternal psychological health and poor monitoring and supervision behaviors. Implications for clinical work and future research directions are discussed.

“…Also, found that distressed mothers were inclined to demonstrate an aversive attitude and harsh discipline in order to manage children's problem behavior. Finally, maladaptive parent coping strategies are associated with ineffective parenting behaviors ranging from coercive (harsh/punitive) to lax (inconsistent/ignoring) discipline (McKee et al 2004). While the relations between poverty, parent stress and parenting practices, and child psychopathology are robust, more investigation is needed in order to generalize these findings to Chinese populations.…”

Latent Classes of Psychiatric Symptoms Among Chinese Children Living in Poverty

Describing co-occurring symptom patterns among children in nonwestern contexts may have important implications for how emotional and behavior problems are defined, conceptualized, studied, and ultimately prevented. A latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted on the co-occurring psychiatric symptoms of 196 Chinese children living in poverty. Child depression, anxiety, aggression, and self-esteem scores were used as indicators in the LPA. Three classes of symptoms best described the symptom presentations of children in this study. Ninetyone percent of the youth in the sample were assigned to a class without clinically significant elevations on any symptom index. Six percent fell into an externalizing class, and 3% were assigned to a class with elevated internalizing symptoms. The three classes met empirical criteria for distinctiveness and were validated against parent-and child-rated family characteristics and resources. Children in the externalizing class were more likely to experience harsh and neglectful parenting and their parents were more likely to report avoidant coping styles. In addition to some parenting behaviors (overprotection and low parental support), internalizing symptoms were uniquely associated with low levels of education, housing, economic, and social resources. Implications for preventive interventions are discussed.
