linking extreme marital discord child rearing and child Behavior Problems evidence from battered women
Child Development, 1991Co-Authors: George W Holden, Kathy L RitchieAbstract:Relations between marital discord, parental Behavior, and child Behavior were investigated in a sample of 37 battered women and 37 comparison mothers and their children, aged 2-8 years. It was hypothesized that violent fathers would be more irritable but less involved, battered women more stressed and inconsistent in discipline, and both parents would reportedly use fewer positive and more negative child-rearing responses than comparison families. Based on maternal self-reports and mother-child observations, the only robust self-report difference between the groups of mothers were the level of stress and reports of inconsistency in parenting; in contrast, all of the expected differences were found between the mothers' reports of the 2 groups of fathers. Group effects on child Behavior Problems were also found. Children from violent families were reported to have more internalizing Behavior Problems, more difficult temperaments, and to be more aggressive than the comparison children. In the violent families, maternal stress and paternal irritability were the 2 significant predictors of child Behavior Problems, whereas in the comparison families only maternal stress was a reliable predictor.

neonatal regulatory Behavior Problems are predicted by maternal early pregnancy overweight and obesity findings from the prospective predo study
Pediatric Research, 2018Co-Authors: Polina Girchenko, Marius Lahtipulkkinen, Jari Lahti, Anukatriina Pesonen, Esa Hamalainen, Pia M Villa, Eero Kajantie, Hannele Laivuori, Rebecca M Reynolds, Katri RaikkonenAbstract:INTRODUCTION Maternal overweight/obesity and comorbid hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes associate with neurodevelopmental delay in the offspring in childhood. We hypothesize that these maternal conditions associate also with the offspring regulatory Behavior Problems and impact on neurodevelopment via the offspring regulatory Behavior. METHODS A number of 3117 women of the PREDO Study filled in a questionnaire on regulatory Behavior Problems at the child's mean age of 16.9 days and 2116 of them a questionnaire on developmental milestones at the child's mean age of 42.2 months. Data on maternal BMI and comorbid disorders come from the Finnish Medical Birth Register. RESULTS Offspring of overweight/obese mothers in comparison to normal weight mothers had higher levels of regulatory Behavior Problems and 22% (95% confidence interval 5-42%) higher odds of having Problems on multiple domains of Behavioral regulation at the mean age of 16.9 days. Offspring regulatory Behavior Problems partially mediated the association between maternal overweight/obesity and developmental milestones comprising communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal/social domains of development. Comorbid disorders did not associate with offspring regulatory Behavior Problems. CONCLUSION Regulatory Behavior Problems of the offspring have prenatal origins and partially mediate the effects of maternal overweight/obesity on offspring neurodevelopment.

Meta-analysis of treatment for child sexual Behavior Problems: practice elements and outcomes
Child maltreatment, 2008Co-Authors: Annick St. Amand, David Bard, Jane F. SilovskyAbstract:This meta-analysis of 11 treatment outcome studies evaluated 18 specific treatments of sexual Behavior Problems (SBP) as a primary or secondary target. Specifically, it examines relations among child characteristics, treatment characteristics (including practice elements), and short-term outcome (including sexual and general Behavior Problems). Utilizing pre- and postintervention results, the overall degree of change over the course of treatment was estimated at a 0.46 and 0.49 standard deviation decline in SBP and general Behavior Problems, respectively. As hypothesized, the caregiver practice element Parenting/Behavior Management Skills (BPT) predicted the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (and the Child Behavior Checklist when BPT was combined with caregiver Rules about Sexual Behaviors). In contrast, practice elements that evolved from Adult Sex Offender (ASO) treatments were not significant predictors. BPT and preschool age group provided the best model fit and more strongly predicted outcome than broad treatment type classifications (e.g., Play Therapy or Cognitive Behavior Therapy). Results question current treatments for children with SBP that are based on ASO models of treatment without caregiver involvement.

characteristics of young children with sexual Behavior Problems a pilot study
Child Maltreatment, 2002Co-Authors: Jane F. Silovsky, Larissa N NiecAbstract:Sexual Behavior Problems (SBP) have been increasingly recognized in young children. Despite rising awareness, previous research has focused on school-age children with SBP and adolescent sex offenders. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the history, adjustment, and social environment of preschool children with SBP. Thirty-seven young children with SBP were evaluated. As expected, significant emotional and Behavior Problems were evident, and caregivers reported high levels of stress related to parenting. Contrary to findings among school-age samples, more of the children were female (65%) than male (35%). Many (62%) did not have substantiated histories of sexual abuse. Many children had experienced physical abuse (47%) and/or witnessed interparental violence (58%). Only four (11%) had no known history of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or witnessing domestic violence. Although further research is necessary, results supported the need to consider the developmentally unique presentation of you...

a mediational model for the impact of exposure to community violence on early child Behavior Problems
Child Development, 2001Co-Authors: Oriana L Linares, Timothy Heeren, Elisa Bronfman, B Zuckerman, Marilyn Augustyn, Edward Z TronickAbstract:This study examined how maternal distress mediates the link between exposure to community violence (CV) and the development of early child Behavior Problems. Research was conducted among 160 children, 3,0 to 5,11 in age, who resided in high-crime neighborhoods. Using structural equation modeling, latent variables were constructed to identify model components: maternal socioeconomic status (SES) and public assistance status, exposure to CV (maternal perceptions of local violence, social disorder, and fear of crime; and frequency of child cowitnessing violent events), family aggression (partner aggression toward mother and partner aggression toward child), maternal distress (global distress and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms), and early child Behavior Problems (internalizing and externalizing). Bivariate correlations indicated that CV, maternal distress, and early child Behavior Problems were significantly intercorrelated. A series of structural equation models was specified to estimate the direct and indirect effect of CV on early child Behavior Problems. A direct model indicated a significant path from CV to early child Behavior Problems, after controlling for maternal SES and family aggression. The direct CV-early child Behavior Problems path diminished, however, when maternal distress was included in the model, after controlling for maternal SES and family aggression. Results are consistent with a mediation model of the impact of maternal distress symptoms on the link between CV and early child Behavior Problems.
