“…Mothers can feel less competent if they do not know how to handle their child's anxiety, resistance at bedtime, and desire to cosleep. This finding is somewhat similar to a previous finding that connected nighttime waking patterns (wakes of ≥ 20 min) of 29‐month‐old children with their mothers’ lowered self‐efficacy (Zaidman‐Zait & Hall, ). Also, John and McMahon () found that parents of children with sleep disturbances tended to have low parental hardiness (i.e., the ability to manage challenges effectively by transforming stressful experiences into opportunities for learning and personal development despite anxiety), controlling for child temperament.…”

“…Cosleeping Italian parents of school age children (5–9 years) had a significantly higher level of psychological and couple distress (Cortesi et al., ). Mothers of children who woke up for more than 20 min at night consistently reported lower parenting self‐efficacy, higher overprotection, and lower parenting impact at 5, 17, and 29 months (Zaidman‐Zait & Hall, ). Low parental hardiness, problematic sleep‐related cognitions, and more parental interactions with their preschool children at bedtime were linked to child sleep disturbances after controlling for child temperament (Johnson & McMahon, ).…”

The purpose of this study was to compare sleep disturbances of children and their mothers, children's behavioral problems, and parenting self-efficacy between Korean American families who coslept and those who did not cosleep. Forty-eight mothers of children between 3 and 8 years of age completed the following surveys: Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Pediatric Symptom Checklist, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Parenting Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans II. Overall, 48% (n = 23) of families coslept, and families with younger children coslept more than families with older children (x2=12.48,p<.05). When the families were divided into non-cosleeping (i.e., rarely) and cosleeping (i.e., sometimes and usually) groups, 100% of the cosleeping children had sleep disturbances compared to 56% of the non-cosleeping children (x2=8.67,p<.01). For mothers, 28% (n = 7) of the non-cosleeping mothers reported sleep disturbances, compared to 52% (n = 12) of the cosleeping mothers (x2=2.93,p=.08). Children's behavioral problems were not different between the two groups (F = 1.78, p = NS). Cosleeping mothers reported lower parenting self-efficacy than non-cosleeping mothers (F = 6.26, p < .05). When providing care to Korean American families with young children, their cosleeping, sleep disturbances, and parenting self-efficacy need to be addressed.

“…Moreover, the current study, similar to previous literature (Zaidman‐Zait & Hall, ), under‐represents fathers, and thus, their views also remain unknown. Zaidman‐Zait and Hall () showed that similar to mothers, fathers were also affected by their child's sleep. However, in the United Kingdom, it is likely that mothers are the ones that ultimately seek advice for their children's sleep as it is mothers who commonly switch to part‐time work in order to take care of their children whilst fathers tend to become the main breadwinners (Norman, Elliot, & Fagan, ).…”

This study looks at the views of mainly White British mothers currently residing within the United Kingdom. Thus, it may not represent the views of everyone in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, it still makes important recommendations for practice. For example, relationships between health professionals and parents need to be improved and information on different sleeping practices widely dispersed. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Poor sleep is common in young children. Young children's sleep quality can be affected by parental behaviours. Parents lack knowledge of sleep in young children. What does this study add? According to this study: It would be beneficial for professionals to work in partnership with parents when formulating advice. Mothers want advice to appreciate individual differences, be free of stigma, and manage expectations. Mothers want advice both prenatally and throughout their child's development.

“…A systematic literature review 8 found 6 studies investigating the association between night-waking and inattention/hyperactivity symptoms in preschool years [9][10][11][12][13][14] all with a cross sectional design. Half reported that more night-waking was associated with higher inattention/hyperactivity symptoms.…”

The objective was to study the longitudinal associations between inattention/hyperactivity symptoms and night-waking in preschool-years, in light of their joint evolution. Within the French birth-cohort study EDEN, repeated measures of 1342 children’s night-waking and inattention/hyperactivity symptoms were collected at age 2, 3 and 5–6 through questionnaires. Trajectories were computed using group-based modeling. Logistic regressions, adjusted for confounding factors, were used to measure the association between trajectories and to determine risk factors for belonging to the identified joint trajectories. Two night-waking trajectories were observed, 20% of the children had a trajectory of “common night-waking”, and 80% a trajectory of “rare night-waking”. The children were distributed in three inattention/hyperactivity trajectories, a low (47%), medium (40%) and high one (13%). Both night-waking and inattention/hyperactivity trajectories showed persistence of difficulties in preschool years. The risk of presenting a high inattention/hyperactivity trajectory compared to a low one was of 4.19[2.68–6.53] for common night-wakers, compared to rare night-wakers. Factors associated with joint trajectories were parent’s education level and history of childhood behavioral problems, and the child’s gender, night-sleep duration and collective care at 2 years of age. Results suggest that children presenting behavioral difficulties would benefit from a systematic investigation of their sleep quality and conversely.

Children's night waking among toddlers: relationships with mothers' and fathers' parenting approaches and children's behavioural difficulties

Abstract: Mothers' and fathers' parenting cognitions and behaviours are affected by 29-month-old children's night waking patterns and night waking patterns are associated with children's behavioural problems.
