“…The study focuses on youth in early adolescence. This age range was viewed as important from a prevention perspective, as youth in this critical age group are still influenced by their parents while at the same time learning to manage their own health behaviors as parental involvement declines (Spera, 2005). Future research should explore these associations in children and older adolescents to see whether study findings generalize to other age groups.…”

“…Families were eligible to participate if they had (i) an adolescent aged 11-15 years; (ii) at least one parent living in the same household as the adolescent willing to participate; and (iii) no physical or dietary restrictions. The age range of 11-15 years was selected with the goal of capturing youth who are transitioning into adolescence and are learning to manage their own health behaviors as parental influence begins to decline (Spera, 2005); this age range was based on the American Psychological Association (2002) definition of adolescence. Of the $350 families contacted during recruitment, 70 parent and adolescent pairs consented to participate in data collection.…”

Objective This study examined the interaction between parental limit setting of sedentary behaviors and health factors (weight status, physical activity [PA], fruit and vegetable [FV] intake) on standardized body mass index (zBMI) in African American adolescents. Methods Data were from 67 parent-adolescent dyads. Parental limit setting, PA and FV intake were assessed via self-report, and objective height and weight measurements were collected. Results Regressions examined the interaction between parental limit setting and BMI, PA, FV intake on adolescent zBMI. The model for parent BMI and FV intake accounted for 31% of the variance in adolescent zBMI. A significant interaction for parent BMI by limit setting showed that as parental BMI increased, higher (vs. lower) limit setting was associated with lower adolescent zBMI. Higher parent FV consumption was associated with lower adolescent zBMI. Conclusion Future interventions should integrate parent limit setting and target parent fruit and vegetable intake for obesity prevention in underserved adolescents.

“…1; Further, based on the overall means obtained in the six types of parental involvement, it was found that the first segment (elementary schools) leaders are more often engaged in activities that involve parents in their children's education. This could be because parents tend to engage more at this stage of their children's lives (Spera, 2005). Another explanation is that school leaders recognize the importance of involving parents in this level, so they offer more activities that support this involvement.…”

The aim of this study is to explore the practices used by school leaders (principals, vice principals and social workers) to encourage parental involvement in UAE schools, and the differences in these practices based on their gender, school level and job position. A questionnaire was distributed to teachers in schools in Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah and Al-Ain, and 377 responses were collected. The study revealed that school leaders in UAE schools often communicate with parents. Further, they frequently engage parents in school decisions related to students' activities and behavior. The results also show that school leaders involve parents in their children's education in different ways, and that these differences are linked to the gender, school level and job position of those leaders.

“…Independent decisionmaking is considered as a norm during adolescence but should be facilitated by parental control [2]. During independent decision-making, adolescents also tend to engage in risk-taking behaviour as part of experimentation [3]. Risk-taking behaviour can be defined as behaviour which involves potential negative consequences (loss) but is balanced in some way by perceived positive consequences (gain) [4].…”

Aim:The aim of the systematic study was to determine the effect of parenting practices on adolescent risk behaviours such as substance use and sexual risk behaviour.Method: Quantitative research studies were systematically collected from various databases such as Academic Search Complete, MEDLINE (Pubmed), JSTOR, Project Muse and SAGE for the duration of 2003-2013 which was within the 10 year period of relevant literature to the date of study.Results: Findings established that parental monitoring and communication prevented drug initiation, delayed alcohol initiation, and sexual debut, increased alcohol refusal efficacy, and decreased delinquent behaviour and risk taking behaviours in high risk adolescents. Conclusion:This review shows that parental practices play significant protective and promotive roles in managing adolescent risk behaviours.
