“…First, the study relied on a community sample of teen mothers and their children in a northwest region of the United States. However, the general developmental trend of broadband ratings of internalizing and externalizing problems in our study sample is similar to those in other general community samples of children, with internalizing problems showing an increasing trend (Davis et al, 2015;Flouri et al, 2017;Olson et al, 2017) and externalizing problems showing a decreasing trend (Fanti & Henrich, 2010;Flouri et al, 2017), including high-risk samples, such as welfare system-involved children (Mowbray et al, 2018;Yoon et al, 2017), easing the concern of generalization to some degree. Nevertheless, given the specificity of our sample, generalization of the current study findings to the general population should be done cautiously.…”

Developmental inflection point for the effect of maternal childhood adversity on children’s mental health from childhood to adolescence: Time-varying effect of gender differences

Childhood adversities have a well-established dose–response relationship with later mental health. However, less attention has been given to intergenerational influences. Further, it is unknown how intergenerational influences intersect with children’s developmental stages and gender. The current study examined whether a developmental inflection point exists when the intergenerational influences of childhood adversities gain salience and explored differences by children’s gender. Data were from the Young Women and Child Development Study (n = 361). Time-varying effect models (TVEMs) and moderation TVEMs by child’s gender were evaluated. Our findings reveal that ages 5–8, the period of transition into primary schools, may represent a developmental inflection point when the intergenerational influences of maternal childhood adversity start emerging substantially. The results from gender interaction TVEMs reveal that maternal childhood adversity was a statistically significant predictor of internalizing problems until age 11, regardless of child’s gender, and remained statistically significant for girls’ internalizing problems until age 16.7. For externalizing problems, maternal childhood adversity was a statistically significant predictor until age 13, regardless of gender.

“…Given that exposure to ACEs is prevalent among young children and creates a toxic environment where children experience overwhelming stress that hinders healthy brain, cognitive, social, and emotional development [10], more research is warranted to examine the immediate effects of ACEs during childhood. Furthermore, while ample research has examined the effects of child maltreatment (i.e., maltreatment ACEs) on early childhood development [11][12][13], less attention has been paid to NM-ACEs and home environment, such as parental mental health problems, substance use, and household poverty. Several studies have examined the role of home environment, including chaotic homes, on child development and suggested that household chaos (independently or in conjunction with child maltreatment) may contribute to negative developmental outcomes, such as child disruptive behavior [14,15].…”

Considering the high prevalence and negative consequences of non-maltreatment adverse childhood experiences (NM-ACEs), it is critical to understand their impacts on the resilient functioning of young children. This study sought to examine heterogeneity in resilience among first-grade children who were exposed to NM-ACEs during kindergarten and explore demographic and adversity characteristics that distinguish between resilience profiles. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted on 4929 children drawn from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Kindergarten (ECLS-K). The results of the LPA revealed four distinct resilience profiles: (1) low cognitive and executive functioning (4%); (2) low social and behavioral functioning (14%); (3) low average functioning (31%); and (4) multi-domain resilience (51%). Female children and those in families characterized by older maternal age, higher parental education level, household income above 200% federal poverty level, not receiving welfare benefits, and races other than Black were more likely to be in the multi-domain resilience profile. The findings highlight heterogeneity in resilience among children exposed to NM-ACEs and point to the need for a comprehensive, multi-domain assessment of child functioning to support optimal resilience development in this population.

“…behavioural problems are mostly reported for children who experienced physical abuse [11] whilst emotional di culties are mostly identi ed among children who suffer psychological abuse or neglect [12]. However, Yoon et al [13] indicated that externalizing problems are consistently identi ed among maltreated boys whilst abused girls largely present internalizing di culties. Beside parental personality types, attitudes, perceptions, practices and values, parental illness and death might also create risks for children to be abused and exploited [14].…”

Child Maltreatment and associated Sociodemographic factors among Children affected by HIV/AIDS in Ghana: A Multi-Informant Perspective

Background: Child maltreatment and its consequences are considered a major public health concern among children because they can cause significant physical and psychological problems. Child maltreatment is widespread but often underestimated. Surprisingly, there is hardly any data on the frequency of child maltreatment in general and particularly on orphans and vulnerable children in low-income countries. Method: This study employed cross-sectional, quantitative survey that involved 291 children aged 10–17 years in Lower Manya Krobo District, Ghana and examined their exposure to and experience of child maltreatment. The survey also examined parents/caregivers’ exposure and perpetuation of child maltreatment. Results: Some form of maltreatment within the household was reported by approximately 90% of children, and it was significantly higher among orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) as compared with comparison children. Children living with HIV/AIDS-infected parents and orphans of any type reported higher exposure to domestic violence and experienced significantly more neglect, psychological and physical abuse than the comparison children. Conclusion: The results of this survey demonstrate that maltreatment among children affected by HIV/AIDS are not rare, and that the dysfunction family conditions that they find themselves bear systemic risks for maltreatment. It is important that culturally appropriate and evidence-based interventions are implemented to address the maltreatment.
