“…Items on this questionnaire reflect the following types of positive goal behaviors for parents of preschoolers: (a) eliminate unnecessary commands; (b) enforce commands that are given; (c) look for the positive; (d) do not inadvertently reward negative behavior; (e) expose the child to a high ratio of positive to negative models; (f) cultivate the ability to enjoy doing things with your child; (g) avoid harsh punishment; (h) be consistent in meeting the child's needs; and (i) avoid attributing negative traits to the child. With high scores indicating positive parenting, Strayhorn (1989) reported mean scores for two preschool samples of 140 ( SD = 15.7) and 138 ( SD = 15.0). For the preschool sample examined in this study, the mean scores were 145.7 for mothers ( SD = 12.5, range = 105 to 173) and 142.4 for fathers ( SD = 11.9, range = 106 to 168).…”

Coparenting is examined as an explanatory link between marital conflict and parent-child relations in 2-parent families. Data were collected from 3 samples (pilot sample, n = 220 mothers; preadolescent sample, n = 75 couples; preschool sample, n = 172 couples) by using the Coparenting Questionnaire (G. Margolin, 1992b) to assess parents' perceptions of one another on 3 dimensions--cooperation, triangulation, and conflict. Main effects for child's age and for parents' gender were found for cooperation, and an interaction between parent and child gender was found for triangulation. Regression analyses were consistent with a model of coparenting mediating the relationship between marital conflict and parenting. Discussion addresses the theoretical and clinical importance of viewing coparenting as conceptually separate from other family processes.

Parent training programs are an important component of a multi-modal approach to behaviour management of A-D/HD children. The efficacy of parent training programs in the management of behaviours exhibited by A-D/HD children is reviewed. Positive outcomes for parent self-esteem, understanding of A-D/HD, anD lower parent stress levels are reported, along with increased compliance by, and improved self-esteem of, A-D/HD children.

Abstract:Adolescent health issues such as substance abuse, high risk sexual behaviours and psychosocial problems are becoming a threat globally. The World Health Organization has identified parenting interventions as a strategy to improve adolescent health. This study aimed to develop and validate a tool to understand parenting practices for Northern Province Tamil culture in Sri Lanka. A Parenting Patterns Questionnaire (PPQ) with three subscales for three parenting dimensions; 'Connection', 'Control' and 'Respect', was constructed in accordance with parenting styles and parenting tools used in Western countries and by expert opinion. Item analysis was conducted to establish the internal consistency and exploratory factor analysis was conducted to check whether the items are assigned to the correct subscales. Construct validity of the PPQ was confirmed by demonstration of a moderate to good correlation with two hypothetical constructs, namely the wellbeing of the children demonstrated by the scores of Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and educational performance of the children assessed by the marks of previous term examination. The internal consistency of the PPQ and subscales was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha > 0.7). The test re-test reliability also was satisfactory for PPQ (Pearson's correlation Coefficient > 0.9 for selected items). The correlations between the parenting quality assessed by the PPQ and the above mentioned constructs showed a moderate correlation (r > 0.3). This tool (PPQ) has the potential to be used by researchers to assess parenting in selected dimensions ('Connection', 'Control' and 'Respect') in Sri Lankan Tamil culture.
