Well-being and parenting behaviours were studied longitudinally among mothers of younger siblings of children on the autism spectrum ('siblings'; n = 81) and prematurely born children ('pre-terms'; n = 40).Growth curves were modelled to investigate whether maternal well-being and group (siblings vs. preterms) were associated with (change in) reported parenting behaviours between 10 and 24 months of child's age. As expected, we found more stability than change in parenting behaviours, and more similarities than group differences in parenting behaviours and maternal well-being. Both mothers of siblings and pre-terms reported more disciplinary behaviours when their child grew older, in line with

Behavior problems are common among young autistic children and are related to elevated parenting stress levels among their caregivers. However, previous studies of this population have rarely examined relations between child behavior problems and parenting stress at a daily level and, to date, have not examined how these relations may differ for Latino families. Using a day-to-day, within-person design, this study bidirectionally examined these temporal relations among 70 families of autistic children (ages 3–5 years, 74.3% male, 49% Latino parents) who participated in a 14-day daily-diary study. Parent-reported child behavior problem severity and parenting stress were measured daily. Constructs were partitioned into their between- and within-person components and analyzed using time-lagged MLM models. At the between-person level, greater reported child behavior problem severity, relative to the group average, was positively associated with next-day parenting stress and vice versa. This relationship was moderated by Latino ethnicity, such that the positive relationship between reported child behavior problem severity and next-day parenting stress was weaker for Latino (versus non-Latino) families. These bidirectional relationships differed at the within-person level, such that, unexpectedly, greater-than-usual parenting stress, compared to parents’ own average, was negatively associated with next-day child behavior severity. Findings underscore the value of using daily diary methodology to decompose between- and within-person effects, and reveal potential intervention targets to improve parent and child functioning, particularly among minoritized families of autistic children.
