“…However, due to the different patterns of results between parent‐ and teacher‐reported models, it was not surprising to find that results from the composites were non‐significant for the sibling comparison approach (Model 2). Differences among parent and teacher ratings are common and were expected in the current study given that they tap different aspects of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity across unique settings [Goulardins et al, ; Narad et al, ]. Here, it appears that there may be a washing out of measurable SDP effects when considering both parent and teacher reports as a composite using the “or” rule [Lahey et al, ].…”

“…In fact, DSM‐IV field trials and other studies have suggested that parent and teacher reports of ADHD symptoms may indeed reflect important and valid differences in behavior and functional impairment across home and school settings [Hart et al, ; Gomez et al, ; Gomez et al, ; Goulardins et al, ; Narad et al, ]. Further, there is evidence that parent and teacher ratings account for unique variance in functional impairment [Hart et al, ].…”

Maternal smoking during pregnancy (SDP) is a significant public health concern with adverse consequences to the health and well-being of the developing child, including behavioral outcomes such as Attention–Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). There is substantial interest in understanding the nature of this reported association, particularly in light of more recent genetically informed studies that suggest that the SDP-ADHD link is less clear than once thought. In a sample of families (N = 173) specifically selected for sibling pairs discordant for prenatal smoking exposure, we use a sibling-comparison approach that controls for shared genetic and familial influences to assess the effects of SDP on ADHD symptom dimensions. ADHD was measured by both parent and teacher report on the Conners report forms and the Child Behavior Checklist/Teacher Report Form (CBCL/TRF). Results for the CBCL/TRF Total ADHD score are consistent with prior genetically informed approaches and suggest that previously reported associations between SDP and ADHD are largely due to familial confounding rather than causal teratogenic effects. However, results from the Conners parent report suggest a potentially causal effect of SDP on hyperactive/impulsive and, to a lesser extent, total ADHD symptoms; SDP results in increased parent-reported hyperactive/impulsive and total ADHD symptoms even after accounting for genetic and familial confounding factors. This suggests that the Conners assessment (parent-report) may provide a sensitive measure for use in studies examining child specific SDP effects on continuous and dimensional aspects of ADHD.

“…Parent's perceptions of their child's behaviour may be different between the home and the school environment, where challenges for the child are different, and where possible, it would be useful in future research to include parent, teacher and child report. Previous research investigating the relationship between ADHD, social problems and motor skills showed that when using teacher report, motor skills remained a significant predictor of social problems over and above the ADHD symptomatology, whereas using parent report, motor skills did not significantly predict social problems after controlling for ADHD symptomatology (1).…”

“…There is an increasing recognition of the important role that motor development plays in socio-emotional development, with some behavioural problems hypothesised to result from problems with motor competence (1). This is thought to be due to numerous factors including the importance of early motor skills such as crawling, allowing an infant to interact with others and explore their environment to motor competency at school age allowing a child to participate in both recreational and organised play and sport (2).…”

“…Previous studies have identified a link between DCD and intellectual difficulties which may also have their own co-occurring psychosocial consequences (Cook, Greenberg, & Kusche, 1994;Fliers et al, 2008;Sibley & Etnier, 2003). Previous studies have found that motor skills remain an important predictor of internalizing problems even after accounting for factors such as attention and hyperactivity difficulties or IQ (Goulardins et al, 2015;Rigoli et al, 2012;Wilson et al, 2013).…”

Poor motor skills have been associated with a range of interpersonal and intrapersonal difficulties, including poor self‐competence, peer problems, and internalizing problems such as anxiety and depression. The Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis provides a theoretical framework for understating these relationships. Studies have recently begun to evaluate this framework; however, ongoing empirical investigation is required. Currently, the extent to which these relationships may differ across factors such as gender remains unclear. The current study tests an indirect effect of motor skills on internalizing problems via peer problems and perceived self‐competence in a community sample of 164 children (81 males; 83 females) aged 7 to 12 years. A combination of clinician‐administered, self‐report, and parent‐rated measures were used. Regression analysis using PROCESS indicated that the relationship between motor skills and internalizing problems was not moderated by gender. Motor skills did have an indirect effect on internalizing problems via perceived scholastic competence and peer problems. Results provide partial support for part of the Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis; perceived scholastic competence and peer problems are mechanisms through which motor skills are related to internalizing problems in school‐aged children. This study highlights potentially important targets for psychomotor interventions for this age group. Highlights The Environmental Stress Hypothesis suggests that motor skills may have an indirect effect on internalizing problems via factors such as peer problems and perceived self-competence. A community sample of 164 children aged 7–12 years provided measures of motor skills and psychosocial functioning. Motor skills had an indirect effect on internalizing problems via perceived scholastic competence and peer problems. This relationship was not moderated by gender.
