“…Generally speaking, the attitude or psychological contact between parents and children in the parent-child relationship is mainly about family life, and it is manifested in several specific situations, such as mutual conversation and communication, family atmosphere, handling of house chores, parental expectations, learning environment, and principles and methods concerning reward and punishment (Zimmer-Gembeck et al, 2019). Therefore, whether the parent-child interaction is good or bad can usually be seen from how the parent-child relationship in the family living situation is adjusted.…”

This study aimed to verify the relationship among children's creative self-efficacy, parenting style, parent-child relationship, and after-school program. Judgmental sampling was used for subject selection from Taiwan. There are 550 valid participants composed of elementary school to junior high school students; their data were put into the statistical process. The multiple regression analysis was applied in this study. The survey tool was developed based on literature review and related articles. Research result supported the idea that the after-school program was the most significant variable that affected the student's creative self-efficacy. The "punitive discipline" and "autonomy support" of parenting style can affect positive parentchild relationships as well as students' creative self-efficacy. Evidence supported the notion that "negative parent-child relationships" will not motivate students' creative selfefficacy. Besides, the after-school program plays an important role in the students' creative self-efficacy independently.

“…In particular, studies have identified parental emotional regulation approaches as an important influencing factor for child behaviors and developmental outcomes [11][12][13]. Although there has been an increasing number of studies in the area of mothers' emotional regulation and children's externalizing behaviours [14][15][16], they are limited in their cross-sectional design, the lack of examination of fathers' influence, and lack of representation of non-Western samples. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have investigated the precise role of parental emotional regulation in the development of children's physical and relational aggression.…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated the links between parents' self-regulation and children's outcomes [24][25][26]. However, only a few studies [14][15][16] have examined the links between parental use of emotional regulation strategies and children's social behaviours, such as externalizing (e.g., impulsivity and hyperactivity) and prosocial (e.g., helping and sharing) behaviour, with none addressing childhood aggression specifically. In general, these studies find that higher use of adaptive emotional regulation approaches, including reappraisal, and lower use of maladaptive emotional regulation strategies, including suppression, by parents is associated with more positive social-emotional development in children.…”

This study explored the associations among emotional regulation in mothers and fathers and preschool children’s physical and relational aggression using a Hong Kong Chinese sample. This study also explored whether child gender would moderate the association between parental emotional regulation strategies and children’s physical and relational aggression. Participants were 168 children aged 4–6 years. Parents reported on their own emotional regulation approaches and kindergarten class teachers rated children’s aggression 6 months later. Path analyses showed that higher levels of reappraisal and lower levels of suppression by mothers was associated with higher levels of child relational aggression. There were no significant associations among fathers’ emotional regulation and children’s aggression. Results from multi-group analysis showed that there were no significant moderation of the associations by child gender. Results highlight the importance of mothers’ emotional regulation in child aggression and suggest that the maladaptive consequences of emotional suppression are culturally relative.

“…Second, mindfulness has been associated with a greater capacity for emotion regulation (Hambour et al 2018;Roemer, Williston, & Rollins et al 2015), with compelling information from neuropsychological investigation supporting this by demonstrating enhanced prefrontal cortical activity suggesting better regulation and reduced stress reactivity among those higher in dispositional mindfulness (Taren et al 2013). Moreover, emotion regulation has been associated with warmer, more supportive, and less hostile parenting practices (Zimmer-Gembeck et al 2019b). Given this evidence, we expected that an elevated level of mindfulness should allow parents to maintain emotional stability resulting in more supportive interactions with their children in the eating domain, while also maintaining guidelines and providing a structured, predictable food-related home environment.…”

Objectives There were two objectives of this study. The first was to determine whether parents' dispositional mindfulness was associated with food-related parenting, including more support and structure and less coercion and chaos. The second was to consider children's temperament and food-related parenting, with a focus on reactivity and regulation. Parents' beliefs and concerns about body and child weight and demographic factors were also considered. Methods Caregivers of children aged 4-8years (N = 167, 94% female) completed measures of food-related parenting, dispositional mindfulness, children's temperament (surgency, negative affectivity, and effortful control), parents' concern about child's weight, and parents' body dissatisfaction. Parents also reported their children's age, gender, family income, and education. Results As hypothesized, parents higher in mindfulness reported more food-related supportiveness and structure and less foodrelated coerciveness and chaos; most associations were significant even after accounting for children's temperament and all other measures. For temperament, children's effortful control was associated with higher levels of parent supportiveness and structure, whereas negative affectivity was positively associated with coerciveness and chaos. Although parents' body dissatisfaction and concerns about their children's weight were usually correlated with food-related parenting, few associations remained significant in the multivariate models. Children's surgency and demographic factors were not associated with food-related parenting. Conclusions Parents' mindfulness and children's negative affectivity and effortful control, which we argued reflect reactivity and regulation, were uniquely associated with parents' food-related supportiveness, structure, coerciveness, or chaos. Future research should examine bidirectional pathways to better isolate the direction of effects and pinpoint potential intervention targets.
