Parenting styles and externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers: mediation through self-control abilities and emotional management skills

IntroductionThe detection rate of externalizing problem behaviors among Chinese children has been increasing year by year. Before the age of six, the problem behaviors that appear in children are predominantly externalizing problem behaviors. Family is the starting point for children's socialization. Although some studies have explored the impact of parenting styles on children's externalizing problem behaviors, only a few have explored the underlying mechanisms driving this relationship.MethodsThis study attempts to fill this gap by investigating how self-control abilities and emotional management skills mediate the relationship between parenting styles and preschoolers' externalizing problem behaviors. Here, teachers and parents of 799 preschoolers from China were surveyed.ResultsThe findings of this investigation are 3-fold: (1) a significant association exists between the parenting styles adopted by parents and externalizing problem behaviors observed among preschoolers; (2) self-control abilities and emotional management skills independently mediate the associations between parenting styles and children's externalizing problem behaviors, highlighting their roles as mediators; and (3) sequential mediation of self-control abilities and emotional management skills elucidates a pathway through which parenting styles impact preschoolers' externalizing problem behaviors.DiscussionThis study clarified the relationship between parenting styles, externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers, self-control abilities, and emotional management skills to provide a theoretical basis for solving the externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers.

The Childbearing of Immigrants Who Arrived as Children: Understanding the Role of Age at Arrival for Women and Men.

It is well-known that childbearing is associated with age at migration, but most research has focused on foreign-born women who migrated as adults. Much less is known about male immigrants or immigrants who arrived as children, despite the importance of studying these groups to understand theories of adaptation and socialization. This study addresses these gaps with a case study of Sweden, using longitudinal whole-population data to analyze the role of age at arrival in determining childbearing. The results suggest that age at arrival affects fertility across the childbearing life course, although there is little evidence of critical ages at arrival. These results hold for women and men, particularly for immigrants from higher fertility origins, with more ambiguous results for immigrants from lower fertility origins. The main findings also persist after examining sources of selection and reverse causality using sex-specific family fixed-effects models and separate analyses for specific countries of birth. Therefore, the study provides evidence of an underlying process of childhood socialization, followed by adaptation, that is common for women and men who migrate. Theoretical implications are discussed, including the need for further work on the determinants and mechanisms of adaptation.

Characteristics of adult children with autism and caregiver burden

AbstractObjectiveThis study's purpose was to determine if parental perceptions of their adult children's communication, behavior, and socialization skills were significantly associated with caregiver burden after controlling for income and age of the child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).BackgroundMost parents provide support to their children with ASD across the lifespan. This study focused on informing knowledge gaps in caregiving literature in determining which ASD characteristics contribute to caregiver burden.MethodData gathered from 320 parents of adult children with ASD were used to conduct regression analysis to understand how caregiver burden was influenced by three core characteristics of ASD while controlling for age and income.ResultsBehavior of the adult child predicted caregiver burden and its four types, whereas communication predicted time dependence burden. Caregivers with higher income reported less total and developmental burden and those with older children reported less time dependence burden.ConclusionFindings demonstrate that behavioral challenges of an adult child with ASD contribute significantly to the parental perceptions of caregiver burden, warranting support for aging parents.ImplicationsProfessionals should be encouraged and supported to provide services to parents who support their adult children with decreased communication abilities, behavioral, and/or socialization challenges daily.

Стратегии взаимодействия родителей с детьми дошкольного возраста и особенности представлений о родительстве

<p>This article reveals the problem of the relationship between the strategies of interaction of parents with preschool children and ideas about parenting in the context of studying the phenomenon of conscious parenting. Conscious and responsible parenting is considered as a transformation of the activity of education in line with higher mental functions modeled by society. Strategies of interaction of parents with a child reflect, to a greater extent, the behavioral component, while various ideas about parenting reflect, to a greater extent, the cognitive and emotional component of conscious and responsible parenting. The results showed that in the structure of strategies of interaction with a child, parents prefer explanatory and coping strategies. That is, in the parental subculture, these types of interaction are considered the most approved and acceptable in raising children. These strategies are directly correlated with such ideas about their parenting as the breadth of the value sphere in the field of raising children, acceptance of their own parenting, a positive attitude to the main institutions of socialization of the child and a high level of awareness of the age characteristics of the child. The variability of individual interaction strategies is determined by the nature of the connection between different interaction strategies. The results of the study allow us to develop technologies for educating and supporting parents. Diagnostic methods can be used as a tool for forming the metacognitive component of parenting, enhancing awareness of various aspects of the child's socialization.</p>

The Socialization of Children from Vietnamese - Korean Multicultural Families: A Case Study of Korean International Schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City

From the moment of birth, an individual exists as a biological entity. However, true integration into human society necessitates the acquisition of cultural norms, values, knowledge, and beliefs specific to their given community. This process involves adapting to social roles and cultural practices, ultimately enabling effective communication and fulfillment of societal responsibilities. Notably, language assumes a pivotal role in this intricate web of socialization and stands as arguably the most influential factor in the overall process. To delve into the current state of socialization among children from Vietnamese-Korean multicultural families residing in Vietnam and attending a Korean International School, this research employs socialization theory, descriptive statistical methods via questionnaires, and interdisciplinary research techniques.

Влияние факторов семейного воспитания на развитие цифровых навыков ребенка с умственной отсталостью

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of mediating the development of digital skills of a child with mental retardation in the conditions of family upbringing. Family upbringing factors have a significant impact on the process of developing these skills in children: material and technical equipment of the family, parents' media activity and their digital skills, digital parental mediation strategies, parents' attitudes towards the possibilities of the digital environment in the child's socialization. The relevance and novelty of this study lies in describing a number of factors of family upbringing and identifying their relationship with digital skills of a child with mental retardation. Methods. Two groups of parents participated in an online survey: those raising children and adolescents with mental retardation (N = 42 people) and parents of normally developing children and adolescents (N = 52 people). Results. The study showed that parents raising children with mental retardation are characterized by less media activity, predominance of communicative motive of Internet activity, and greater awareness of children's practices in the digital environment. At the same time, parents of children with intellectual disabilities use digital mediation strategies less often, and trust the Internet less as a source of development of cognitive sphere and formation of children's information processing skills. Parents of children with disabilities rate their digital skills higher than those of their children. The study proved the correlation of digital skills of a child with mental retardation with some factors of family upbringing. Discussion. The correlations found between the digital skills of children with mental retardation and the digital skills of parents, the number of digital devices in the family, and the availability and quality of these digital tools indicate the need to develop and implement programs to educate parents, develop their digital skills, and master various digital mediation strategies in the process of raising a child with mental retardation.

Water People: Genocide, Children, and Nature in Canadian Residential Schools

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on connections between Indigenous Peoples and water to better understand the cultural destruction wrought by residential schools. We begin with an overview of how genocide studies address connections between childhood socialization and the natural world, and how human links to nature are impacted by genocide. This point is further illustrated through a discussion of the centrality of water within Anishinaabe culture, whereby relationships with water contribute to the process of becoming Anishinaabe. We note that childhood is an important time for the development of water relations. Residential schools interrupted these relationships by transforming water into a tool of violence, compelling Indigenous children to reimagine their connection to water through the lens of settler capitalism and Judeo-Christian morality. Drawing on Survivor testimonies of their childhood and relationships with water before, during, and after residential schools, we demonstrate how their ability to co-create themselves as Anishinaabe with water was stifled in residential schools. We also note Survivor testimonies where water is engaged to resist assimilation and heal trauma, evidencing how the natural world can play an ambivalent role in projects of cultural destruction.

Parenting Patterns and Child Behavior

This study aims to compare the parenting patterns of single and full parents and their impact on child behavior in Sementara, Pantai Cermin Sub-district, Serdang Bedagai Regency, Indonesia. Parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and future. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, the home environment, especially parental parenting, has the greatest influence on child development. This study focuses on three parenting styles: authoritarian, democratic, and permissive. Authoritarian parenting is characterized by strict rules and limited freedom, while democratic parenting prioritizes the child's interests and involves discussions between parents and children. Permissive parenting provides loose supervision and unrestricted freedom for children to behave and act as they wish. Previous studies have shown that single mothers tend to apply authoritarian parenting, resulting in spoiled children with difficulty interacting, while single fathers tend to apply permissive parenting, leading to more independent children who are easier to make friends. Additionally, authoritarian, democratic, and permissive parenting styles have been associated with aggressive behavior in children, obtained through social learning. Democratic parenting has been found to increase children's motivation and achievement at school, while authoritarian parenting inhibits children's socialization skills. This study provides important insights into the impact of parenting patterns on child behavior in the context of single and full parents in Sementara, Indonesia.

The Influence of Parental Prosocial Behavior on Children's Participation in Volunteer Activities

Modern society is assumed to be pragmatic, selfish, and individualistic. However, this assumption seems to be refuted by the results of several surveys conducted in Indonesia, which show a trend of increasing prosocial behavior and volunteerism in society. It is interesting to study prosocial behavior in society, especially among students, because students are bound by the tri dharma of higher education, which includes the principles of community service. This research does not deny the role of socialization in individual behavior. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of parents' prosocial behavior as the primary socialization agent on the participation of child (student) volunteers. This research uses a correlation study method with the moderating variables socialization and children's prosocial behavior, which are then tested as the dependent variable with socialization as the moderating variable. The population in this study were all university students in East Java. The sample in this study was taken using a purposive sampling technique. The study sample consisted of 100 people, with details of 50 from Surabaya and 50 from Sidoarjo. This research uses several SPSS tests such as Pearson correlation, MRA regression test, t-test, and others. This study's results indicate a small influence between parents' prosocial behavior and child volunteer participation. The moderating variables of children's socialization and prosocial behavior have strengthened the influence between variables.

Soundscapes of infant care and infant-directed communication in two hunter-gatherer societies

This study contributes an ethnographic perspective to the study of infant-directed (ID) communicative activities. We compare soundscapes of infant care and ID vocal communication in two egalitarian, forest-dwelling, mobile hunter-gatherer groups: Mbendjele BaYaka/Aka in Northern Congo-Brazzaville and the Maniq of Southern Thailand. Across the unique patterns of speech and song specific to these different cultures, common threads emerged in infants’ soundscapes that suggest the centrality of musically enriched ID-speech for communication with infants. A conspicuous under-elaboration of music among Maniq people suggests that while musical activity in a culture may vary greatly, ID-speech does not. The ID-speech register thus emerges as more central to childhood socialisation and development in these hunter-gatherer societies than does the ID-song register. Although the use of lullabies (ID-song) by mothers has been claimed to be a human universal ( Trehub 2001 ; Mehr et al 2019 ) the ethnography from these hunter-gatherer societies supports Takada’s (2020:139–142) conclusion that ID-speech and song demonstrate important cultural diversity. This paper contributes to ethnographic accounts of the diversity of ways that cultures organise communicative exchanges with children.
