Download or read book Foster Parents Involvement in Authoritative Parenting and Desire for Future Parenting Training written by Linda K. Kraemer and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a definite link between parent-child relationships and the effect of parenting on the outcomes of children. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that there are more than 547,000 children currently in foster placement in the United States due to inadequate and inappropriate parenting. Mediating influences such as stressors, socioeconomic status, level of education, and knowledge of child rearing approaches are viewed as factors determining parenting abilities. Previous research has determined that authoritative parenting style is the most nurturing and tends to produce children who are more socially adjusted, competent, and self-assured. Children parented in nonauthoritative parenting styles are more likely to suffer maladaptive behaviors. When abuse is the result of improper parenting, one alternative option for temporary care is the foster care system. However, once placed, children with severe behavior problems strain the abilities of foster parents who are often unprepared to parent in a style most adaptive to the needs of these children. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of authoritative parenting among foster parents and to assess whether involvement in authoritative parenting and perceived desire for training in authoritative parenting differed based on foster parents' total household income, level of education, and the number of years involved in foster parenting. Results showed that foster parents in this study demonstrated an overall involvement in the use of authoritative parenting and indicated an overall interest in authoritative parenting training. While the variable of income had no effect on either foster parents' use of authoritative parenting or their desire for training on authoritative parenting, education was a significant factor in the use of authoritative parenting. The results of this study may be used to more fully understand the demographic characteristics that affect foster parents' involvement in authoritative parenting and desire for additional training. Recommendations for future research and training efforts for training foster parents in the use of authoritative parenting are offered. Continuing research and development of new training techniques could increase the ability of foster parents to parent effectively, increase self-efficacy as foster parents, and ultimately increase foster parent retention rates.
