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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the topic of parent beliefs, or parent cognition, has increased tremendously since the original publication of this volume in 1985. For this revised second edition, the editors sought to reflect some of the new directions that research on parent cognition has taken. By offering a greater variety of topics, it gives evidence of the intellectual concerns that now engage researchers in the field and testifies to the expanding scope of their interests. Although a unique collection because it reflects the diversity that exists among major researchers in the field, it evinces a common theme -- that the ideas parents have regarding their children and themselves as parents have an impact on their actions. This emphasis on parents' ideas shifts the focus on sources of family influence to ideas or beliefs as determinants of family interactions. The implication of this way of thinking for practitioners is that it suggests the shift to ideas and thoughts from behavior and attitudes.

Book excerpt: The exclusive interest among developmental psychologists in the influence of overt parenting practices and behaviors on child development has given way, in recent years, to a broader interest in the experience of parenting. Although parents' ideas and attitudes were initially investigated as a way of better understanding and predicting children's development, researchers more recently have become interested in parents' beliefs, values, and goals as a topic worthy of study in its own right. This volume of New Directions for Child Development brings together researchers who have been at the forefront of this research. The chapters examine, from a variety of theoretical perspectives, the determinants of parenting beliefs and the nature and consequences of those beliefs. The aim of these chapters is to summarize current knowledge of parents' beliefs and to suggest new theoretical and empirical directions for future research. The chapters also focus attention on the context in which parental beliefs emerge and are expressed. Whereas most research on parental beliefs has focused on parents of young children, the issues raised by and the insights gained from these chapters demonstrate the relevance and importance of considering parental beliefs across childhood and adolescence.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture has been recognized to play an important role in the formation of parental beliefs, but the question still remains of whether beliefs are maintained or revised over time, and how. The present study examined how proximal influences impacted parental beliefs in an immigrant sample of parents, the thesis being that distal influences have more to do with the formation of parental beliefs while proximal influences have more to do with maintaining or revising them. Effects of the proximal influences of education, occupation status, information networks, and parental agreement about childrearing, on parental beliefs of Mexican-origin fathers and mothers around cultural values of familism/respeto, simpat{̧131}Ư̐a, and individualism were tested longitudinally. The research questions were two-fold in nature, looking at within-time effects of the proximal influences on parental beliefs; as well as over-time effects of proximal influences on change in parental beliefs. The within-time questions were answered using hierarchical regression analyses while the over-time questions were answered using repeated measures MANCOVAs. Overall, the beliefs of parents in this study were seen to not change significantly over the course of the three years that they were assessed, and so the study did not yield the results expected in terms of the effects of proximal influences on parental beliefs. However, information networks and fathers' occupation status did emerge as promising proximal influences on parental beliefs, and the results also revealed maternal beliefs to be more responsive to the proximal influences of education, fathers' occupation status, information networks, and parental agreement about childrearing, than paternal beliefs.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting is a complex process that can have important consequences for child well-being. Parenting programs, while varying greatly in format and content, have the potential to increase positive parenting behaviors. This study uses data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) Child Development Supplement in 1997 to examine the influence of parenting program participation and parental socialization characteristics, such as source of parenting knowledge, social support, and beliefs and attitudes, on parental warmth and limit setting. The results of the OLS regression analysis indicate that the influence of parenting program participation varies by race and socioeconomic status; for black mothers and poor mothers, program participation has a large and significant impact on parenting behaviors. In addition, having one's family as a source of parenting knowledge and certain parenting beliefs were largely significant in the limit setting models for both the full sample and the race and poverty sub-samples. Overall, these findings suggest that tailoring programs not only to the participants' race and ethnicity or socioeconomic status, but also more broadly to parenting background and socialization characteristics, has the potential to improve program efficacy.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productive struggle is expending effort to make sense of something that is beyond one's current level of understanding. Research shows that productive struggle aids in learning math concepts and procedures. The goal of this investigation was to understand parental beliefs regarding productive struggle and how these beliefs are associated with parental homework involvement. One hundred and ninety-seven parents with children in the first to fifth grade were recruited and surveyed online. Parental beliefs about productive struggle were assessed via questionnaire and rating of a video portraying instruction involving productive struggle. Parents also reported on the extent to which they helped with math homework, their child's ability in math, and their views on the affective nature of homework-helping interactions with their child. Results indicate that parents have diverse beliefs about the efficacy of productive struggle, with fathers favoring productive struggle more than mothers. A significant relationship was found between parents' beliefs about productive struggle and reports of their child's ability at math and affect of the homework-helping interaction.
