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.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional studies of parent-child relationships have focused on the influence of parental characteristics on various behavioral, social, and personality outcomes in children. During the past decade, social scientists have suggested that other influences of the social worlds of individuals be studied. As a result, the parent-child system is being studied in relationship to the child-peer system. These studies are beginning to indicate that the family and peer system are related in a variety of ways. In accordance with these ideas, the purpose of this study was to examine how parental perceptions of the family environment (i.e., cohesion, expressiveness, and conflict), adult psychosocial competence, acceptance of children, and socioeconomic status predict social competence in children's peer relations. Subjects consisted of 74 pairs of parents and their children aged 3-5 years who resided in northwest communities with populations of 30,000-40,000. Questionnaire data were administered to the parents and sociometric measures and teacher ratings were collected on the children. Multiple regression analyses were used to test the theoretical model developed for the study. Separate regression analyses were conducted to analyze the father-mother-child, father-mother- son, and father-mother-daughter relationships. Partial support was found for the predicted relationships between parental perceptions and children's social competence. In addition, differences between fathers' and mothers' and the sex of the child were noted. In general boys' peer acceptance was predicted by mothers' competence and cohesion, while popularity was predicted by fathers' competence. Rejection by peers was predicted by low maternal acceptance and cohesion. Teacher ratings were predicted by mothers' cohesion and acceptance and fathers' competence. For girls, peer acceptance was predicted by fathers' expressiveness and cohesion. Popularity was predicted by fathers' competence and acceptance, and mothers' expressiveness, while rejection was predicted by fathers' conflict. Teacher ratings were predicted by mothers' acceptance and competence and fathers' competence. It was concluded that parental perceptions of some aspects of the family environment are adequate predictors of social competence in children's peer relations.

Book excerpt: Children living in poverty are more likely than their wealthy peers to experience social rejection. One point of possible intervention lies within the family. Parental warmth has been linked to children's social competence in past psychological research, so our study was designed to explore whether parental warmth closes this socioeconomic (SES) gap in children's social competence. To investigate our hypotheses, six- to nine-year-old children and their parents (N = 39 and 31, respectively) were recruited to participate in this multi-method study. Overall, parents' perceptions of children's social competence were correlated with children's perceptions of parental warmth. Additionally, parents' perceptions of warmth were greater than children's perceptions of parental warmth. No relation was found between SES and children's levels of social competence, and no moderation was found for parental warmth on the relationship between SES and children's social competence. The implications of this study include intervention strategies that target parenting practices and children's social and emotional learning.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different theories and perspectives of play have been discussed by researchers and educators. Generally speaking, play contributes to children's cognitive, socio-emotional, and motor development. Children spend time at home in the learning environment established by their parents. Thus, parents' perceptions of children's growing and learning affect both their interaction with and the environment they provide for their children. In early childhood education, play is an increasingly important factor; in the specific context of Taiwan, little is known about Taiwanese parents' perceptions of it. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of Taiwanese parents' perceptions of child's play and examine whether their perceptions are related to their children's social competence and creativity. The study was conducted in Hsinchu, Taiwan. In order to ensure greater variability in parents' backgrounds, criterion-based sampling was used. Three kindergartens were recruited for the study: two were located in Hsinchu County, where parents generally had lower socioeconomic status, and one was located in Hsinchu City, where parents generally had higher socioeconomic status. A total sample of 142 parents with kindergarteners aged 4-7 and 10 kindergarten teachers participated in this study. Parent and teacher versions of the questionnaire were used. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Pearson product-moment coefficient (PPMr). Research results were as follows: (1)Taiwanese parents valued play's effect on children's development and supported playing with their children. (2)Parents' perceptions of child's play differed by gender, highest education level, and total monthly household income, but there was no difference by parents' age and occupation. (3)There was no significant difference in parents' perceptions of child's play when examined by children's gender and age. (4)Parents' perceptions of child's play were positively related to children's development of social competence (rated by both parents and teachers) as well as creativity (rated only by parents). Three factors--parent's highest education level, spouse's highest education level, and total monthly household income--were found to affect children's development of social competence and creativity. When these three factors were controlled, a correlation still existed but the strength of the relationship was smaller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positive parent-child interactions play an important role in fostering the development of pre-schoolers' knowledge and understandings of their world. This book provides current research on parent-child interactions and relationships. Chapter One reviews Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) research conducted with diverse populations as well as adaptations that have been implemented. Chapter Two describes Integration of Working Models of Attachment into Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (IoWA-PCIT). Chapter Three reports results of a small open trial of IoWA-PCIT with children and their adoptive mothers. Chapter Four analyses the educational representations and practices of Italian parents about childrearing. Chapter Five compares mothers and fathers on a variety of parenting measures that include behavioral observations as well as self-reported data. Chapter Six presents how experiences of adequate quality promote metacognitive functions. Chapter Seven analyses mother-child interactions during the use of a touch screen tablet. Chapter Eight explores the effect engagement with media technologies has on the quality of interactions between parents and their children. Chapter Nine suggests that supporting children's early writing with technologies can complete the traditional early literacy and writing support via a pencil and paper. Chapter Ten examines the relationship between parent teaching of environmental print to their children, child interest in environmental print, and emergent literacy skills. Chapter Eleven describes the longitudinal effects of parent-child interactions on social competence development using the Interaction Rating Scale (IRS) for eighteen-month olds to seven-year-old children.
