Poor Parenting Research Articles

Offspring overcome poor parenting by being better parents.

The evolutionary repercussions of parental effects-the impact of the developmental environment provided by parents on offspring-are often discussed as static effects that can have negative influences on offspring fitness that may even persist across generations. However, individuals are not passive recipients and may mitigate the persistence of parental effects through their behaviour. Here, we tested how the burying beetle, Nicrophorus orbicollis, a species with complex parental care, responded to poor parenting. We cross-fostered young and manipulated the duration of parental care received and measured the impact on traits of both F1 and F2 offspring to experimentally extricate the effect of poor parenting from other parental effects. As expected, reducing parental care negatively affected traits that are ecologically important for burying beetles, including F1 offspring development time and body size. However, F1 parents that received reduced care as larvae spent more time feeding F2 offspring than parents that received full care as larvae. As a result, both the number and mass of F2 offspring were unaffected by the developmental experience of their parents. Our results show that flexible parental care may be able to overcome poor developmental environments and limit negative parental effects to a single generation.

Hubungan Antara Kerjasama Dengan Perilaku Pengasuhan Orang Tua Dalam Mengelolah Anak Sulit Makan Di TK Stella Maris Bitung

Introduction: Pre-school children are those aged between 3-6 years. Children at preschool age usually experience psychological development to become toddlers who are more independent, autonomous, able to interact with their environment, and can express their emotions more. In addition, children of this age also tend to like to explore new things. The developmental characteristics that are formed also influence children's eating patterns (Hidayat 2013 in Katiandagho et al 2016). Difficulty eating can occur due to several things, including cooperation and parenting behavior of parents to children. Parents in the family have an important role in childcare practices. The participative role of parents determines the quality of child care and its influence on children (Mohamad Mahpur, Koentjoro, and Subandi 2021). Methods: Quantitative with a research design using a cross-sectional approach the sample in this study were all parents of students at Stella Maris Bitung Kindergarten as many as 45 parents, the sampling technique was total sampling. Results: Parental cooperation resulted in the collaboration of 31 (69,9%) respondents, while respondents who did not cooperate were 14 (31,1%) respondents. while parents with good parenting behavior were 31 (68,9%) respondents, while respondents with poor parenting behavior were 14 (31,1%) respondents. Hypothesis testing using chi-square obtained a p-value of 0,000 (P <0,05). Discussion: There is a significant relationship between parental cooperation and parenting behavior in managing children with difficulty eating at Stella Maris Bitung Kindergarten.

Influence of Parenting Styles on Problematic Behaviours of Migrant Children

The living environment of migrant children changes dramatically when they settle in cities with their parents. If migrant children do not adapt well to the new environment, they may develop psychological deviations and internalised problematic behaviours. Research has shown that poor parenting styles increase the incidence of children's psychological problems and easily trigger problematic behaviours in migrant children. This study explores four aspects of the relationship between parenting styles and migrant children's internalised and externalised problems, the effects of different parenting styles on migrant children's internalised and externalised problems, and further illustrates the mediating roles of migrant children's self-esteem, parent-child relationship, and social support between the two. It was found that positive parenting styles were negatively related to the problematic behaviours of migrant children, while negative parenting styles increased the occurrence of migrant children's internalisation problems; negative parenting styles increased the likelihood of migrant children's externalisation problems, while positive parenting styles could, to a certain extent, stifle the emergence of the aforementioned externalisation problems. Therefore, schools and society should pay attention to the correct guidance of parents' communication and expression styles, and at the same time pay attention to the establishment of a warm atmosphere and a pleasant communication process in the family, so as to reduce the internalisation problems of migrant children. In addition, if migrant children have externalisation problems, parents, schools and society should help them to set up good behavioural models and provide them with timely and correct guidance.

Personal and situational factors that influence coaches’ ability to care

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore how personal and situational factors may influence sport coaches’ caring practices. 130 youth sport coaches completed an online survey including perceptions of caring, emotional intelligence, and leadership behaviours. Additionally, coaches were prompted to consider a situation when it was easy or hard to care while also identifying influencing factors. Results revealed coaches’ awareness of others’ emotions, coaches’ ability to use their emotions, and coaches’ lower use of autocratic behaviours significantly predicted their perceptions of caring on their teams. Open-ended findings revealed that having a core value/philosophy centred on caring, maintaining a collaborative and welcoming culture, engaging in relationship building, using empathy and listening skills, possessing personal experiences/expertise, encountering advantageous situations, or having positive athlete behaviour made it easier to care. It was more difficult for coaches to care when they experienced poor athlete or parent behaviour, unhelpful situational factors, lack of team culture, differing opinions among staff, or personal factors. These findings provide coaches insight into factors that may influence their ability to care.

Static and dynamic factors underlying placement instability in residential youth care: A scoping review

Placement instability in residential youth care is an important issue. Youth in residential care have the highest number of previous placements compared to youth in other types of out-of-home care (e.g., foster care), and the high number of previous placements can be experienced as traumatic events. Placement instability is associated with negative outcomes for youth, such as mental health problems. However, there is no review of the factors associated with placement instability in residential care. In this study, we reviewed research (qualitative and quantitative) on factors related to placement instability in residential youth care. A search in four databases (PsycINFO, ERIC, SocINDEX, and Medline) resulted in 10,299 hits. After selecting on the inclusion criteria, we included fifteen articles in our analysis. We identified several youth, family, decision-making, care, and, organizational factors associated with placement instability in residential care. In general, the number of studies focusing on placement instability is small. Most studies focused on static (i.e., unchangeable) youth factors, such as sex and age. We found some indications that dynamic (i.e., changeable) family, care, and organizational factors, such as poor parenting skills, low staff competence and turnover of professionals are positively associated with placement instability. It is striking that most of the included studies focused mainly on static youth factors. We need more knowledge about dynamic factors to reduce placement instability in residential youth care. Future research should focus on elements that might prevent placement instability.

Edukasi Stunting Melalui Sosialisasi Pola Asuh Terhadap Perkembangan Emosi Anak

Currently, in Indonesia and even in the world, some children are affected by stunting. This is due to poor nutrition and parenting patterns affecting children’s emotional development. Poor parenting is one of the factors that cause stunting in children. Child care can be implemented by providing nutritious food, health care, and good parenting habits. It is expected that the existence of stunting education through the socialization of parenting patterns on children's emotional development can become an alternative program that educates parents to take care of the children so that it can reduce the number of stunting children in Munder Village, Yosowilangun District, Lumajang Regency. This community development research was developed due to there are many children who experience stunting, one of the causes is poor parenting patterns so that children have unstable and uncontrolled emotional development. This parenting socialization applied lecturing and question-answer method. The socialization ran smoothly, parents responded well and listened to the speakers enthusiastically. Parents need to understand stunting because, through this socialization activity, they can practice the parenting pattern method and can spread the knowledge to their peers to provide a good and proper upbringing for their children.

Food security and parenting as risk factors of stunting in toddlers aged 24 to 59 months

Background: Stunting is one of the global health problems that need to be considered because the impacts are very complex and long term. There are various factors that influence the incidence of stunting, including food security and parenting. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the status of household food security and parenting, as risk factors of stunting among toddlers in Pamekasan regency. Method: This research was done using the observational analytic with a case control design. Result: Household food security status had a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting. Toddlers who were in food-insecure households had a 3.5 times greater risk of experiencing stunting compared to toddlers in food-resistant families. There is a relationship between these two variables. Toddlers with poor parenting had an 8.4 times higher risk of experiencing stunting compared to toddlers with good parenting. Conclusion: The status of household food security and parenting is a risk factor for the incidence of stunting.

Pediatric Resident Communication of Hospital Discharge Instructions.

Suboptimal provider-parent communication contributes to poor parent comprehension of pediatric discharge instructions, which can lead to adverse outcomes. Residency is a critical window to acquire and learn to utilize key communication skills, potentially supported by formal training programs or visual reminders. Few studies have examined resident counseling practices or predictors of counseling quality. Our objectives were to (1) examine pediatric resident counseling practices and (2) determine how formal training and presence of discharge templates with domain-specific prompts are associated with counseling. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of residents in the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Pediatric Trainees. Outcomes included resident self-report of frequency of (1) counseling in domains of care and (2) use of health literacy-informed counseling strategies (pictures, demonstration, Teach Back, Show Back) (6-point scales; frequent = often/usually/always). Predictor variables were (1) formal discharge-related training (e.g., lectures) and (2) hospital discharge instruction template with space for individual domains. Logistic regression analyses, utilizing generalized estimating equations when appropriate to account for multiple domains (adjusting for resident gender, postgraduate year), were performed. Few residents (N = 317) (13.9%) reported formal training. Over 25% of residents infrequently counsel on side effects, diagnosis, and restrictions. Resident reported use of communication strategies was infrequent: drawing pictures (24.1%), demonstration (15.8%), Teach Back (36.8%), Show Back (11.4%). Designated spaces in instruction templates for individual domains were associated with frequent domain-specific counseling (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.1 [95% confidence interval: 3.5-4.8]). Formal training was associated with frequent Teach Back (aOR 2.6 [1.4-5.1]) and Show Back (aOR 2.7 [1.2-6.2]). Lack of formal training and designated space for domain-specific instructions are associated with suboptimal counseling at discharge by pediatric residents. Future research should focus on determining the best mechanisms for teaching trainees communication skills and optimizing written instruction templates to support verbal counseling.

Parenting practices, bullying perpetration, and conduct problems among Ukrainian children

BackgroundPositive and consistent parenting practices are associated with the positive mental health of children. However, little is understood about the implications of the Russian military invasion on family dynamics in Ukraine. ObjectiveThis research aims to estimate the prevalence of childhood conduct disorder (CD) and bullying perpetration and their association with parenting practices among Ukrainian children living in proximity to the war. Participants and settingThe sample included 2763 Ukrainian children ranging in age from 10 to 17 years (M = 12.6, SD = 1.23), 56.23 % girls. Children attended public secondary schools in Eastern Ukraine, mostly in Kharkiv and Kharkiv oblasts (regions). MethodsChildren reported on sociodemographic characteristics, parenting practices, CD, and bullying perpetration using smartphones, computers, or tablets, at home or in school IT classrooms. Data were collected on a secure online platform. ResultsChildren reported teasing (23.68 %), spreading rumors (24.51 %), helping to harass (17.31 %), threatening to hurt or hit (21.65 %) other students, breaking rules (28.13 %), getting in fights (17.13 %), cheating (43.16 %), and being spanked by parents (30 %). Also, 1.83 % of girls and 3.43 % of boys met a borderline cutoff for CD. Lack of parent involvement was associated with increased CD and bullying risks. Poor parent monitoring, inconsistent discipline, and corporal punishment were associated with increased CD but not with bullying. CD mediated the association of poor monitoring, inconsistent discipline, and corporal punishment with bullying. ConclusionParental involvement, monitoring, consistent discipline, and avoidance of physical punishments are important practices that can reduce disruptive behavior and aggressive tendencies among Ukrainian children affected by the Russian war.

Unpacking the Specific Associations Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Depressive Symptoms among the Middle-Aged and Elderly Chinese Populations: A Dimensional Approach and Latent Class Analysis in a Cohort Study

Background. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are recognized as key risk factors linked to poor mental health throughout life. However, research on the specific associations between ACE dimensions and depressive symptoms (DSs) among the Chinese population during mid to late life is rare. Objectives. This study aims to investigate the specific effects of different dimensions of ACEs on the new occurrence of DSs and the number of times with DSs among the middle-aged and elderly Chinese populations. Methods. The analysis included 3979 adults aged ≥45 years with four repeated measurements of the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011–2018. Three types of ACE dimensions (total, deprivation, and threat-related ACEs) were conceptualized in accordance with the 15 types of ACEs that occurred before the age of 18 years recorded using the Life History Survey Questionnaire in 2014. In addition, latent class analysis (LCA) was utilized as an additional method for identifying distinct ACE clusters. The Cox regression and ordered logistic regression were used to estimate the risk of ACEs on DSs. Results. Among the 3979 participants, 1656 developed a new occurrence of DSs during follow-up, with 998, 438, and 220 exhibiting DSs one, two, and three times. For total and deprivation-related ACEs, only the group with ≥3 ACEs was significant with the new occurrence of DSs when compared with the no ACE group, and the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval) were 1.562 (1.296, 1.882) and 1.446 (1.221, 1.712), respectively. With regard to threat-related ACEs, all three groups (1 ACE, 2 ACEs, and ≥3 ACEs) were significantly associated with the new occurrence of DSs. The HRs were 1.260 (1.115, 1.425), 1.407 (1.212, 1.634), and 1.585 (1.366, 1.840), respectively. The findings of total, deprivation-related, and threat-related ACEs and their associations with the number of times with DSs represent a similar phenomenon. The LCA revealed five ACE clusters. Compared to the “low risk” cluster, the “poor parent relationship” cluster and the “physical abuse” cluster were linked to an increased risk of the new occurrence of DSs and the number of times with DSs. The results of the subgroup analysis by sex and age were consistent with the total population. Conclusions. Individuals who have experienced higher ACE scores in early life face a higher risk of developing a new occurrence of DSs and multiple detected DSs in mid to late life, particularly in the case of threat-related ACEs. Parsing ACEs is imperative to explore their distinct effects on DSs and the underlying mechanisms. In addition, Incorporating ACE screening into regular health checks among the middle-aged and elderly populations is recommended. Moreover, targeted mental health interventions should be delivered to those who have experienced early life adversities, particularly threat-related ACEs, to promote healthy aging.

Predictors of executive function trajectories in adolescents with and without ADHD: Links with academic outcomes.

Changes in executive function (EF) occur during adolescence with several factors (e.g., parenting styles, socioeconomic status) influencing the development of EF abilities. These changes are important as EF has been strongly linked with a range of outcomes including academic achievement, job performance, and social-emotional well-being. However, few studies have examined variability in EF trajectories during this critical developmental period, or trajectories in samples known to have specific impairments with EF, such as adolescents diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study examined differential trajectories of three domains of parent-rated EF in 302 adolescents (167 males; Mage = 13.17 years) with and without ADHD (53.6% with ADHD) from grade 8 to 10. The study also explored whether adolescent ADHD, parent ADHD, and parents' own EF predicted EF trajectories in addition to the longitudinal relation between trajectories and academic outcomes. Findings suggest that adolescence is marked by significant variability in EF development due to factors such as ADHD status, parent ADHD, and parent EF ability. Additionally, adolescents who displayed poor EF abilities throughout middle and high school had significantly lower grade point averages and poorer parent-, teacher-, and self-reported academic outcomes. Implications for interventions targeting EF deficits among adolescents with and without ADHD are discussed.

PROFESSIONAL PERCEPTIONS OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PARENTING STYLES AND COPING RESPONSES OF FATHERS AND MOTHERS REGISTERED WITH THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM

Families registered with the Child Protection System tend to have poor parenting methods, which, in turn, lead to inadequate ways of coping with stress. This makes them highly vulnerable families. These shortcomings tend to be more prevalent among fathers than mothers. By identifying these shortcomings and analysing them, specific strategies can be developed to overcome them. The aim of this paper is to analyse differences between the parenting styles and coping responses of mothers and fathers registered with the Child Protection System, as perceived by the professionals from the said service. A cross-sectional study was carried out based on the perceptions of professionals attached to the Child Protection System. The findings show that the professionals deem that there are significant differences between maternal and paternal parenting models and ways of coping with stress. The mothers were viewed as having more components of appropriate parenting, while the fathers tended to use physical punishment more often. As for coping methods, the professionals observed that the mothers have more previous experience of conflicts, they spend more time preparing to tackle a problem, and they have a greater sense of being able to take possible advantage of the situation. The results point to the need to reinforce and specialize in training strategies for parents. This is because co-parenting has a positive impact on child development and boosts family functioning. Key words Child Protection System, parenting styles, coping responses, mothers and fathers, professional perceptions

Adolescents' Perspectives on Facilitators and Barriers to Social Health in the Family: A Qualitative Study.

Family plays the most fundamental role in the adolescent's health. A deep understanding of family characteristics, beliefs, and function about the adolescent social health provides a framework, relying on which one can perceive how this dimension of health is developed and promoted in this setting. In this study, we aimed to understand the family context that facilitates or limits adolescent social health. Fifty-four adolescents and fifteen parents participated using a purposive sampling method. The findings were collected through semi-structured interviews and group discussions. The data was analyzed through conventional content analysis by the MAXQDA10 software. Healthy and unhealthy family reactions are the two main categories that facilitate and limit the adolescents' social health. Sub-categories of healthy reactions included effective guidance, cultural safeguard, and accountable interactions. The unhealthy family reactions included sub-categories of poor intergenerational perception and passive parenting. Our findings revealed that the family context of the adolescent's social health ranged from healthy to unhealthy responses. These results can contribute to improving and designing interventions for promoting the adolescent's social health. It is essential for policymakers and health experts to pay attention to the family empowerment approaches.

Drivers and Demand for Shadow Education: A Case Study of Islamabad-Pakistan

Shadow education is a term which metaphorically denotes private tuition. The constitution of Pakistan provides for free education for children; however, their dependents (parents) along with children still pay a cost while paying fee for additionally purchased private tuition lessons. This research aims to understand the demand drivers of shadow education and its associated implicit and explicit costs in the federal capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad. The research methodology consisted of qualitative methods, semi-structured interviews, maximum variation sampling, and thematic data analysis. Parents who sent their children to both public and private schools and also opted for private tuition were considered as primary respondents. Findings showed an overall trust deficit among parents regarding public schools, classroom environment, and teachers’ attitude among which compelled them to invest in private tuition. Whereas parents who enrolled children in private schools indicated themselves as economically stable, and they had wilfully opted for private tuition for the purpose of enrichment of children learning outcomes. The differencing background between rich and poor parents showed that shadow education exacerbates social and economic inequality. In addition to that, it was also revealed shadow education carries explicit (tangible) and implicit (intangible) costs, which must be reviewed in light of article 25A of the constitution of Pakistan.
 Keywords: Education, shadow education, private tuition, educational inequality, public education.

Implementasi Metode Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) Untuk Klasifikasi Keluarga Beresiko Stunting

Stunting is a condition where a child's height is too short compared to children of the same age. This condition affects the health of toddlers in the short and long term, such as suboptimal body posture in adulthood, decreased reproductive health, and decreased learning capacity, resulting in suboptimal performance in school. One of the causes of stunting is a lack of nutrition, basic health facilities, and poor parenting practices. However, the current data collection and classification of families at risk of stunting still use Microsoft Excel, which is ineffective in processing large data. Therefore, the LVQ method, which is an improvement of the Vector Quantization method, is used to accelerate the classification process. In this study, 5 parameters were tested, and the optimal result was achieved by using 7 input neurons, Chebychev distance as the distance measure, a learning rate of 0.1, 7 epochs, and 30% of training data. With these parameters, an accuracy of 99.38% was obtained. Based on these results, the LVQ method can help improve accuracy in classifying families at risk of stunting

Prevalence of and factors associated with depression, anxiety and stress among adolescents in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic: A population-based study

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant mental health challenges among adolescents in Bangladesh. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of and associated factors of depression, anxiety and stress among adolescents of Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a two-stage cluster sampling procedure for collecting the sample. A total of 2030 adolescents were enrolled from urban and rural areas of all eight administrative divisions of Bangladesh. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress-21 (DASS-21) scale was used to assess depression, anxiety, and stress in adolescents. In addition, data on sociodemographics, parenting style, food insecurity, and anthropometric measures were also obtained. Linear regression was done to measure the risk factors. Results: Depression, anxiety, and stress were identified in 18%, 14%, and 16% of adolescents, respectively. Sociodemographic characteristics such as female sex, higher age, urban resident, food insecurity, and poor parenting were significant risk factors for depression, anxiety, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, inconsistent parenting has been identified as a significant risk factor for depression only. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh, depression, anxiety, and stress are found quite common among adolescents. Therefore, necessary action is required to prevent the mental health epidemic from spreading.

Stunting Incidence in Toddlers Aged 24-59 Months in Kuburaya District Viewed from Feeding Patterns

Stunting is growth failure in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition and causes children to become short. Stunting is often known as stunting, a state of growth failure in toddlers as indicated by a height-for-age figure of less than -2 (z-score value). Stunting is caused by many aspects, including parenting and nutrition-related eating. The mother's parenting style will determine the toddler's nutritional status. The better the parenting style, the better the nutritional status. The prevalence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 years in Kuburaya District is 40.3%. This study aimed to determine the profile of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months from the perspective of parenting in Kuburaya District. This research is observational with a random case-control design. Data collection was taken in February-March 2023. The number of case samples was 62 mothers with stunted toddlers, and a control sample of 62 mothers with normal nutritional status toddlers. The data collection technique used a parenting eating pattern questionnaire with height and weight measurements. Data analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that stunting in poor parenting was 85.5% while stunting in good parenting was 14.5% in Kuburaya District. The conclusion from this research is that parenting is related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers, so it is necessary to pay attention to the role of the family, especially mothers, to provide good parenting patterns to prevent stunting.
