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 Depression in Parents Parenting and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.
Download or read book Handbook of Social Support and the Family written by Gregory R. Pierce and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While insights sometimes are slow in coming, they often seem obvious when they finally arrive. This handbook is an outcome of the insight that the topics of social support and the family are very closely linked. Obvious as this might seem, the fact remains that the literatures dealing with social support and the family have been deceptively separate and distinct. For example, work on social support began in the 1970s with the accumulation of evidence that social ties and social integration play important roles in health and personal adjustment. Even though family members are often the key social supporters of individuals, relatively little re search of social support was targeted on family interactions as a path to specifying supporter processes. It is now recognized that one of the most important features of the family is its role in providing the individual with a source of support and acceptance. Fortunately, in recen t years, the distinctness and separateness of the fields of social support and the family have blurred. This handbook provides the first collation and integration of social support and family research. This integration calls for specifying processes (such as the cognitions associated with poor support availability and unrewarding faIllily constellations) and factors (such as cultural differences in family life and support provision) that are pertinent to integration.
Download or read book Social Support from Fathers But Not Mothers Is Related to the Psychological Distress of Adolescent Latina Mothers written by Megan M Kasperczyk and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latina adolescents are at increased risk for developing symptoms of psychological distress. They often face higher levels of poverty and lower education levels than other adolescent groups, in addition to experiencing acculturative stressors. Adolescent Latina mothers experience additional stressors related to parenting at a young age. Social support has been shown to reduce risk for psychological distress; however, there are several factors that influence this relation. The association of perceived social support from adolescent mothers' mothers and fathers on psychological distress was examined. Familism, a family-centric Latino value, was examined as a potential moderator in the relation between social support and distress, as adolescents who endorse more familistic values may take advantage of support provided by mothers and fathers better than adolescents who endorse fewer values. Preliminary correlations revealed that support from adolescents' mothers and fathers was associated with lower distress. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that after controlling for adolescent age, financial stress, and negative life events, mother support was no longer associated with lower distress; father support was still associated with lower distress. Additionally, familism did not moderate the relationship between social support and distress for mother or father support. Findings contribute to the body of research on father support, but further research is needed to examine the quality and importance of support providers to determine why there were differences in distress between those perceiving mother and father support.
Download or read book Informal Social Support and Parenting Stress in Mothers and Fathers of Children with and Without Development Risk written by Misty Jones and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have shown that parenting stress has the potential to have negative consequences on the wellbeing of the entire family. Parents of children with developmental risk frequently report high levels of stress, but less is known about differences between mothers’ and fathers’ experiences of parenting stress, nor how variables such as social support may affect parents’ experience of stress. This cross-sectional study examined whether social support served as a moderator in the relation between developmental risk and parenting stress in parents of 3 to 5-year-old children with and without developmental risk. Results indicated that, contrary to hypotheses, parenting stress (daily hassles) of parents of children with developmental risk did not differ significantly from parents of typically developing children. No support was found for the hypothesis that informal social support would moderate parenting daily hassles. Also, no significant differences were found between mothers and fathers in perceptions of parenting daily hassles. The implications of these findings, as well as possible directions for future research in this area, are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the oldest statewide program serving autistic people in the United States, North Carolina's Division TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped CHildren) has had a major impact on ser vices for these people and their families. As we move into our second decade, we are frequently questioned about all aspects of our procedures, techniques, and program. Of all the questions that are asked, however, the one that comes up most frequently and seems to set our program apart from others concerns the ways in which we work with families. To help answer this question we identified what we have found to be the major components in our parent-professional relationships, and we elaborate on these with the most current research informa tion, clinical insights, and community knowledge available through the expertise of our distinguished contributors. Our purpose was to collect the most recent information and to organize the resulting volume along the outlines of the par ent-professional relationship found most important in the TEACCH program. Thus, the four main sections of the book include these four major ways profes sionals work with parents: as their advocates, their trainers, their trainees, and their reciprocal emotional support source. To the extent this effort was success ful, we acknowledge that it is easier to organize book chapters along these dimensions than it is to provide their implementation in the field.
Download or read book Families in Troubled Times written by Glen Holl Elder and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turbulent decade of the 1980s began with financial calamity in several sectors of the United States economy, from automaking to agriculture. The rural Midwest experienced its worst economic decline since the Depression years. Thousands of farmers lost their operations, and the small rural communities that serve agriculture often changed from prosperous business centers to struggling villages with many empty buildings and boarded-up storefronts along their main streets. Families in Troubled Times examines the plight of several hundred rural families who have lived through these difficult years. The participants in the Iowa Youth and Families Project, the subjects of the present study, include farmers, people from small towns, and those who lost farms and other businesses as a result of the "farm crisis." The book traces the influence of economic hardship on the emotions, behavior, and relationships of parents, children, siblings, husbands, and wives. The results of the study show that although economic stress has a powerful adverse effect on individuals and families, countervailing social influence can help to blunt these negative processes and to assist in the repair of the personal and interpersonal damage they produce.

Download or read book Examination of the Relationships Among Perceived Social Support Parent Infant Bonding and Parent Mental Health in the 3 to 12 Months Following the Birth of a Child written by Gabrielle R. Russo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant development is subject to great influence from one's immediate social environment and caregivers. Therefore, the health of the parent-infant relationship and substantial parent-child interactions are crucial for maximizing exploration and learning opportunities for the child. Previous studies have showed that greater satisfaction with social support may be associated with more positive mental health (Dennis & Letourneau, 2007; Heh et al., 2004). Additionally, research has found that poor parental mental health symptoms relate to poor parent-baby interaction (Parfitt, Pike, and Ayers, 2013). Notably, Lutz et al. (2012) observed an interaction effect of informational social support on maternal-child interactions for mothers with high levels of stress. Thus, evidence suggests reason to investigate an association between social support and parent-infant bonding. The current study extended extant literature as it attempted to distinguish a direct association between satisfaction with social support and parent-infant bonding. It evaluated relationship satisfaction, which may play a crucial role in the mental health of parents (Dudley et al., 2001) and the parent-child relationship (Erel & Burman, 1995). Previous studies primarily assess heterosexual mothers, making this research unique in that fathers and individuals who are members of a non-heterosexual couple were eligible for participation. It was hypothesized that: 1) a direct relationship exists between satisfaction with social support and parent-infant bonding, 2) parent mental health mediates the relationship between satisfaction with social support and parent-infant bonding, and 3) parental perceptions of infant temperament are associated with parental mental health and parent-infant bonding. (Full hypotheses detailed in manuscript.) The current study had a cross-sectional, self-report design. The measures included in this study assessed parent-infant bonding, satisfaction with social support, anxiety and depressive symptoms, parental stress, relationship satisfaction, and infant temperament. The relationship between parent-infant bonding and satisfaction with social support was analyzed. Anxiety, depression, and parental stress were examined as potential mediators. Parents of 3 to 12-month-old infants with a current romantic partner, all in cohabitation, were eligible to complete the survey administered on Amazon Turk Prime with compensation provided. Hypotheses were analyzed using a series of correlations and mediation analyses. Findings from the current study indicate that a parent's satisfaction with the overall social support positively associated with a quality parental-infant bond. Partner social support may play an even bigger role in the promotion of the parent-infant bonding. The relationship between social support and parent-infant bonding was partially mediated by decreased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and parental stress. Additionally, other factors may explain this relationship, and should be examined moving forward (e.g., financial resources or attachment style of parents). Infant temperament and a parent's confidence in reading their infant's cues strongly associated with decreased anxiety, depression, and parental stress symptoms, as well as with parent-infant bonding. Future analyses should incorporate parental perception of infant temperament when investigating postpartum parents' mental health and interactions with their child. The quality of the parental bond to one's infant varied significantly by caregiver; mothers reported higher quality parent-infant bonding on average compared with other caregivers. On the other hand, other caregivers rated their satisfaction with social support from their partner, family, and friends higher on average compared to mothers. These findings show many opportunities for interventions to promote parent-child relationships while in the perinatal period.

Download or read book Parental Stress and Early Child Development written by Kirby Deater-Deckard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the complex impact of parenting stress and the effects of its transmission on young children’s development and well-being (e.g., emotion self-regulation; executive functioning; maltreatment; future parenting practices). It analyzes current findings on acute and chronic psychological and socioeconomic stressors affecting parents, including those associated with poverty and cultural disparities, pregnancy and motherhood, and caring for children with developmental disabilities. Contributors explore how parental stress affects cognitive, affective, behavioral, and neurological development in children while pinpointing core adaptation, resilience, and coping skills parents need to reduce abusive and other negative behaviors and promote optimal outcomes in their children. These nuanced bidirectional perspectives on parent/child dynamics aim to inform clinical strategies and future research targeting parental stress and its cyclical impact on subsequent generations. Included in the coverage: Parental stress and child temperament. How social structure and culture shape parental strain and the well-being of parents and children. The stress of parenting children with developmental disabilities. Consequences and mechanisms of child maltreatment and the implications for parenting. How being mothered affects the development of mothering. Prenatal maternal stress and psychobiological development during childhood. Parenting Stress and Early Child Development is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in infancy and early childhood development, developmental psychology, pediatrics, family studies, and developmental neuroscience.
