“…1. As taken together, our results were consistent with the views that children's behavioral problems may affect their parents' adjustment through different family processes (K. K. S. Chan et al, 2018;Morgan, 1988), including family financial hardship (K. K. S. Chan et al, 2018;Totsika et al, 2020), marital disagreements (Hartley et al, 2017;Norlin & Broberg, 2013), and parent-child conflict (K. K. S. Chan et al, 2022;Lai et al, 2015).…”

“…Prior research on families of children with SEN has predominantly been based on data from mothers (K. K. S. Chan & Leung, 2021; K. K. S. Chan et al, 2022;Cheung et al, 2018). Our study contributed to prior work by using data from both fathers and mothers, demonstrating that-like mothers-fathers' adjustment was also linked to child behavioral problems.…”

“…Parental maltreatment may prevent children from developing secure attachments to and positive relationships with their parents (Popov & Ilesanmi, 2015;Schuiringa et al, 2015). Consistent with such views, research has linked child externalizing and internalizing symptoms to increased parent-child conflict and reduced parent-child closeness concurrently (Climie & Mitchell, 2017;Schuiringa et al, 2015) and longitudinally (K. K. S. Chan et al, 2022) among families of children with SEN. Importantly, negative parent-child relationships may be reciprocally linked to higher depression, anxiety, and stress among parents of children with SEN (Lai et al, 2015).…”

“…Our study was guided by a family process perspective to examine different family processes as simultaneous mediators in the relationship between child characteristics and parental adjustment. However, negative family processes, including family economic pressures, marital conflict, and parent-child conflict, may also contribute to child behavioral problems among families with children with SEN (K. K. S. Chan et al, 2018Chan et al, , 2022Langley et al, 2017). These associations may even be reciprocal, with child behaviors affecting parental adjustment and parental well-being shaping child development at the same time (De Clercq et al, 2019;Dieleman et al, 2017).…”

Background: Trauma can give rise to mental health problems and emotional and interpersonal difficulties, which in turn can perpetuate the cycle of trauma and adversity for future generations. However, little is known about the prevalence and potential effects of trauma and trauma-related mental health problems among parents. Objective: The primary goal of this study was to examine childhood and adulthood trauma and trauma-related symptoms among mothers of children aged between 6 and 18. We also conducted exploratory analyses of their potential relationship with children’s emotional and behavioural problems. Method: A total of 817 mothers living with a child aged between 6 and 18 in Taiwan completed standardized self-report assessments of trauma exposure, trauma-related symptoms, and children’s emotional and behavioural problems. A subsample ( n = 256) also provided follow-up data after six months. Results: Most surveyed mothers reported at least one childhood traumatic event (74.79%) and one adulthood traumatic event (78.70%); 4.4% met the ICD-11 criteria for PTSD, and 12.1% for complex PTSD; 11.4% reported clinically significant dissociative symptoms. Mothers’ complex PTSD and dissociative symptoms were cross-sectionally correlated with children’s emotional and behavioural problem (rs = .186 to .239, p < .001). After controlling for possible confounding variables and baseline scores, mothers’ childhood non-betrayal trauma reported at baseline was found to be a predictor of children's emotional and behavioural problems reported at follow up. Conclusion: This study is the first to provide data regarding childhood and adulthood trauma and trauma-related disorders, including ICD-11 complex PTSD, among mothers in the community. It calls for more studies to understand the potential effects of intergenerational trauma.
