This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic disorder, and its symptoms are often treated with stimulant medication or behavioral intervention. Research has shown that parents of children with chronic conditions may experience increased stress or decreased self-efficacy related to the parenting role, making them less likely to be effective in managing their child’s behavior problems. Behavioral parent training interventions for ADHD, while focusing primarily on improving child behaviors, have demonstrated positive treatment outcomes both for children and parents. The current study examined parenting stress and self-efficacy outcomes following participation in a behavioral parent training approach for ADHD. Participants consisted of 43 primary caregivers of children ages seven to twelve who were referred to an outpatient hospital setting for behavioral intervention to address ADHD-related behavioral concerns. Participants completed the Parenting Stress Index, Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index, and the Behavior Assessment System for Children – Second Edition at two time points: prior to beginning a 10-week behavioral parent training program and upon completion of the intervention. The intervention employed BPT procedures specific to improving ADHD-related behavior management skills. Parent sessions focused on two main content areas: increasing awareness and knowledge of ADHD and developing effective behavioral skills for managing their child’s ADHD-related problems. This study employed a quasi-experimental design that examined changes in parenting after participation in their child’s behavior therapy. A single group, within- subjects model was applied to evaluate parents’ pre-post treatment effects. Further examination was conducted to determine if changes in parenting outcomes were related to children’s treatment response. A descriptive study was first conducted to gain a better understanding of families who participated in BPT. Primary analyses were conducted using General Linear Modeling (GLM) techniques. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to examine changes in parents’ ratings of parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy from baseline to post-treatment. The independent variable was time, and dependent variables included parenting stress (PST) and parenting self-efficacy (PSE). Secondary analyses utilized paired-samples t-tests to explore PSE differences across the domains of Nurturance and Discipline. Ratings at baseline and post-treatment were compared to determine whether participation in BPT was associated with greater balance across these two self-efficacy domains. Finally, independent-samples t-tests were conducted in order to examine differences in parenting outcomes based on different child treatment responses (higher or lower responses). Results of primary analysis demonstrated a significant interaction between PST and PSE over time. When these dependent variables were considered separately, main effects suggested statistically significant changes from baseline to post-treatment for both PST and PSE. When considering parent outcomes based upon gender, notable differences emerged between mothers’ and fathers’ post-treatment ratings of PST and PSE. Mothers evidenced significant differences across the PSE domains of nurturance and discipline, first at baseline and again at post-treatment. However, mothers reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across both domains in response to BPT. No significant differences were observed between nurturance and discipline for fathers and change in PST and PSE was also unremarkable in response to BPT. With regard to parent outcomes based upon child treatment response, parents of children whose ADHD symptoms were reduced to become within the normal range at post- treatment reported significantly lower stress and higher self efficacy than those of children with continued impairments. These results demonstrated distinct benefits for parents who participated in BPT for their children with ADHD. In general, parents reported greater improvements in PSE compared to PST. These changes varied by parent gender, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful differences for mothers, but not for fathers. Finally, parents of children whose ADHD symptoms were reduced below a level of impairment showed the best outcomes regarding PST and PSE. Clinical implications for these results include possible changes to the duration of BPT and treatment objectives endeavored. Extending treatments to provide more time for symptom amelioration is recommended. Including treatment modules specifically providing strategies for stress management may result in even greater reductions in parents’ stress as well as better child outcomes from better parent implementation of behavioral methods. Additionally, these findings support flexibility regarding the duration of treatment in order to achieve ADHD symptom reduction to a level that is within normal limits, and thereby achieving greater BPT outcomes for both children and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its inherent joys, the challenges of parenting can produce considerable stress. These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. Mindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. Featured in the text: Detailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program. The complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up. Handouts and assignments for each session. Findings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program. Perspectives from parents who have finished the course. Its clinical focus and empirical support make Mindful Parenting an invaluable tool for practitioners and clinicians in child, school, and family psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry, social work, and developmental psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children. This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress.
Download or read book Parenting written by Loredana Benedetto and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through parenting, adults raise their children and introduce them into the belonging community. Parents are active determinants of their children’s well-being, but children themselves are too. The volume focuses on some relevant theoretical issues related to children’s and adolescent adjustments, adult maternal and paternal behaviors, and their self-efficacy beliefs and competence interacting with children’s characteristics. The volume also presents evidence-based treatments involving parents as key components of the intervention strategies for childhood internalizing/externalizing disorders. Parent behaviors produce changes and consequences in the child’s emotive-behavioral adjustment; thus, a modification of the parenting style may be an effective way to help children and to ameliorate the family climate. Practitioners interested in parenting will find in the updated studies here reviewed new suggestions for preventive family interventions.
Download or read book ADHD in Early Childhood written by Georgia Bomgardner and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects up to 11% of individuals, causing impairment in academic, social, and work abilities. The trajectory of ADHD symptomology can be impacted by a myriad of factors, including caregiver parenting practices, levels of parent stress, and amount of support received. Symptoms of ADHD can change over time and this may be especially true in young children with or at-risk for ADHD. The current study evaluated the predictive relationship between parent-related variables at pre-treatment (positive parenting, parenting stress, and treatment receipt) and child behavior outcomes for children between the ages of 3 and 5 with ADHD following the completion of a behavioral parent training program. Participants included 47 families of young children with ADHD who were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups or a wait-list-control group. Results indicate significant predictive power of parent pre-treatment competence and treatment receipt on child behavior outcomes. Specifically, the higher the level of parent pre-treatment competence and treatment dosage, the greater the improvement in parent ratings of child behavior and mood/affect. Implications for practice are discussed.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Download or read book Supporting Caregivers of Children with ADHD written by Andrea Chronis-Tuscano and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective parenting is essential to the success of children with ADHD. At the same time, difficult child behavior contributes to parenting stress and often evokes harsh responses from caregivers, leading to increasing problems over time. What makes this process even more challenging is that ADHD and related problems-like executive functioning deficits, emotion dysregulation, and depression-run in families. It is difficult for parents to support a child's learning and social environment if they themselves struggle with disorganization, low motivation, poor planning, and other executive functioning difficulties. Supporting Caregivers of Children with ADHD integrates behavioral, cognitive, and emotion-focused intervention components into straightforward treatment for both parents and children. Sessions included in this therapist guide incorporate group discussion, modeling, role play, and home exercises that involve practicing behavioral parenting techniques and/or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills. With the use of this manual, clinicians will gain the expertise to guide parents in effectively supporting their children's behavioral and emotional regulation by creating and maintaining a calm and consistent home environment.

Download or read book Parenting Plan Evaluations written by Kathryn Kuehnle and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When conducting parenting plan evaluations, mental health professionals need to be aware of a myriad of different factors. More so than in any other form of forensic evaluation, they must have an understanding of the most current findings in developmental research, behavioral psychology, attachment theory, and legal issues to substantiate their opinions. With a number of publications on child custody available, there is an essential need for a text focused on translating the research associated with the most important topics within the family court. This book addresses this gap in the literature by presenting an organized and in-depth analysis of the current research and offering specific recommendations for applying these findings to the evaluation process. Written by experts in the child custody arena, chapters cover issues associated with the most important and complex issues that arise in family court, such as attachment and overnight timesharing with very young children, dynamics between divorced parents and children's potential for resiliency, co-parenting children with chronic medical conditions and developmental disorders, domestic violence during separation and divorce, gay and lesbian co-parents, and relocation, among others. The scientific information provided in these chapters assists forensic mental health professionals to proffer empirically-based opinions, conclusions and recommendations. Parenting Plan Evaluations is a must-read for legal practitioners, family law judges and attorneys, and other professionals seeking to understand more about the science behind child custody evaluations.
