“…Analogamente, a qualidade do ambiente familiar, assinalada pela diversidade de contextos de interação, foi diretamente correlacionada com habilidades sociais infantis relatadas na entrevista. Essa configuração de resultados é compatível com uma interpretação do efeito protetor das práticas educativas positivas (Boyd & Waanders, 2013;Luyckx et al, 2011) e da qualidade do ambiente familiar (Kelley et al, 2011;Rijlaarsdam et al, 2013), pela via do fortalecimento das habilidades sociais da criança (Bolsoni-Silva et al, 2011). A afirmativa de que as práticas positivas previnem o surgimento de problemas de comportamento e promovem habilidades sociais infantis (Bolsoni-Silva et al, 2011) foi em parte confirmada, pois tais relações apareceram nas análises de correlações, ainda que não tenham sido detectadas nas comparações de grupos.…”

The objectives are to compare and correlate indicators of parental practices, family resources, child behavior, and maternal depression, in children with or without internalizing problems, differentiated by gender and schooling. Participants were 32 mothers of children with internalizing problems and 32 mothers of children without problems, which were matched for gender and schooling. Validated instruments were used to measure variables of interest. Data were compared and correlated. The results are: (a) negative practices were more frequent in the problems group and social skills, in the group without problems; (b) negative practices correlated to complaints about problems and positive practices correlated to child social skills and environmental resources; (c) higher maternal depression was associated with less social skills; (d) school-aged children are more anxious than pre-schoolers. Implications of these results for understanding internalizing behaviors are discussed.Keywords: Childhood depression; Childhood anxiety; Educational practices; Environmental resources; Social skills; Depression.Comportamientos internalizantes: asociaciones con habilidades sociales, prácticas educativas, recursos del ambiente familiar y depresión materna ResumenProblemas de comportamiento internalizantes son subidentificados y faltan estudios de diversas variables simultáneamente. Los objetivos son comparar y correlacionar indicadores de prácticas educativas, recursos del ambiente familiar, repertorio comportamental infantil y depresión materna de niños con y sin problemas internalizantes, diferenciadas por sexo y escolaridad. Participaron 32 madres de niños con y 32 sin problemas internalizantes, pareadas por sexo y escolaridad. Fueron utilizados instrumentos validados para mensurar las variables, cuyos datos fueron comparados y correlacionados. Los resultados son: (a) prácticas negativas fueron más frecuentes en el grupo con problemas, y habilidades sociales en el grupo sin problemas; (b) prácticas negativas se correlacionaron a problemas y prácticas positivas a las habilidades sociales y recursos del ambiente; (c) cuanto mayor la depresión materna, menor las habilidades sociales infantiles; (d) niños escolares tienen más problemas de ansiedad que pre-escolares. Se discute sobre las implicaciones de las variables estudiadas para los comportamientos internalizantes.Palabras-clave: depresión infantil; ansiedad infantil; prácticas educativas; recursos del...

During the school years, family and school are contexts in which risk and protection mechanisms for favorable or unfavorable trajectories regarding the development of children are engendered. Early adaptive disabilities, expressed in high levels of emotional and/or behavior problems, have been associated with unfavorable trajectories. The present study aimed to test a prediction model of behavior problems in schoolchildren, having as variable support predictors to the development and adversity in family contexts, as well as the existence of school complaints, indicating adversity in the school context. Sixty children aged 7 to 11 years and their mothers participated in this study and they were recruited in a public elementary school and in a university clinic of psychology. The instruments used in this study were: Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices -Special Scale, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Family Environment Resources Inventory (Recursos do Ambiente Familiar -RAF), Family Life subscale from the Adverse Events Scale (Escala de Eventos Adversos -EEA). Data collection took place at the clinic and school. The data were analyzed by means of multiple linear regression, verifying the power of prediction of behavioral outcomes considering the environment variables. The results indicated school adversity as the main predictor of attention problems, social problems and aggressive behavior. Family adversity was associated with internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Two modalities of family support (daily regular routine and leisure activities in free time) seemed to prevent behavior problems. These are home resources amenable to intervention.

“…Most prior research studying the well-being of children in grandfamilies has compared grandfamily children’s well-being to that of U.S. children generally, finding that grandfamily children had elevated behavior problems and poorer academic outcomes (e.g., Dubowitz et al, 1994; Kelley, Whitley, & Campos, 2011; Smith & Palmieri, 2007). A smaller set of studies have compared grandfamily children to other similarly economically disadvantaged children, finding elevated behavior problems (Pittman, 2007) and lower levels of school engagement (Billing, Macomber, & Kortenkamp, 2002), and one study showed no differences (Solomon & Marx, 1995).…”

Using data from the Year 9 Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N~3,182), we investigated the characteristics grandfamilies (grandparents raising their grandchildren with no parent present, N = 84) and compared them to other key groups, including children’s nonresident parents and other economically disadvantaged families with children. Results show that grandparents raising their grandchildren were generally better off in terms of educational attainment, marital status, and economic well-being than the child’s parents. Grandparents raising their grandchildren also had very similar characteristics to other disadvantaged mothers. Academic and socioemotional well-being was poorer among children in grandfamilies compared with those living with their mothers, but parenting practices were very similar. These findings suggest that although children in grandfamilies may be at a disadvantage academically and socioemotionally, grandparent caregivers are in many ways similar to other fragile-family mothers. Overall, this study enhances our knowledge of an important, yet understudied family type.
