The relationship between ADHD and emotion regulation and its effect on parenting stress.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between ADHD diagnostic status and child-reported emotion regulation and its relationship with parenting stress within three subscales-Parent Distress, Difficult Child, and Parent-Child Dysfunctional interaction. Two hundred children ages 7-13 were enrolled in the study, including 120 children with ADHD and 80 children without ADHD. Overall, it was found that ADHD diagnostic status was significantly associated with the Parent Distress subscale, both ADHD diagnostic status and emotion regulation difficulties were significantly associated with the Difficult Child subscale, and emotion regulation difficulties were significantly associated with the Parent-Child Dysfunctional interaction subscale. This study not only shows that there should be an emphasis on treating parenting stress, but the differences between subscales shows that the type of parenting stress discussed matters when implementing treatment as well.

Stress Levels of Parents of Children With and Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

“…The interactions between parents and children diagnosed with ADHD are often marked by more conflicts, and family life is generally characterized by disharmony and conflict, which affect the quality of life of all family members, especially the parents of individuals with ADHD (Benczik and Cassella 2015). In this sense, the presence of a child with ADHD triggers a family restructuring process in which the psychological health of the parents may be affected, causing stress symptoms and creating difficulties in their relationship with their children (Johnson 2017). Although many surveys have shown an increase in parental stress before the birth of a disabled development child (Ferguson 2002), the empirical evidence reveals peculiar ways in which these parents respond to the challenges presented by their children.…”
