Background: Parenting styles mediate parental stress and child emotions in families of typically developing (TD) children. Our main aim was to study these relations in families of children with Down syndrome (DS), who in past research reported increased parental stress and permissive parenting. Method: Our sample included 100 parents of children with DS and 72 parents of TD children age 4-12 years. Parents completed online surveys of parental adjustment and emotion regulation (ER), parenting styles, and child ER and mood.Results: Parents of children with DS reported more distress and permissive parenting than parents of TD children. Within parents of children with DS, there was an indirect effect of parental stress on child emotions through permissive parenting. This effect was partly conditional upon parental ER and positive adjustment. Conclusions:Results have implications for distressed parents of children with DS whose families may benefit from improved coping strategies and increased support.

“…The PSCI is an 18‐item measure developed specifically for economically vulnerable and low resource parents (Daire, Gonzalez, & O’Hare, 2017). The PSCI includes three scales: (a) parental distress—example items include “I feel depression because I have a child,” or “As a parent I feel overwhelmed”; (b) family‐based support—items include “We care about each other in our family,” “We respect each other in our family,” There is marital harmony in our family,” and “I feel supported by my spouse, partner, or significant other”; and (c) social support—example items include “I realize/acknowledge that there are informational supports for me as a resource,” “The identification of local resources helped me plan for my child’s future,” and “I have social supports in my family.” All responses are indicated on a 5‐point Likert scale.…”

The Relationship Between Social Support and Family Relationships Among Low‐Income Couples Attending Relationship Education

Results are mixed for relationship education (RE) interventions with low-income couples. For couples who experienced positive changes, it is not clear what aspects of program models contributed to change. Many low-income couples attend government-funded RE with limited access to social and community resources. Program models often provide related resources complimentary to RE skill-building. We examined the relationship between income, social support, and family functioning for low-income, ethnically diverse couples (N = 856) who attended RE, as well as the mediating effects of social support on family functioning outcomes. Analyses included three separate dyadic models that examined associations among constructs at baseline and immediately following the RE intervention. Results demonstrated relationships between participants' reported social support and family functioning such that (a) social support was associated with baseline family functioning for both men and women; (b) men's baseline social support was influenced by women's baseline family functioning; and (c) men's and women's social support change score had a positive influence on their own family functioning change score. However, social support was not a significant mediator of change in family functioning. Implications for RE practice and research are also discussed.

“…Choi, Parra, and Jiang (2019) found that coparenting was significantly correlated to lower behavioral problems for children from low socioeconomic status and unmarried families. In addition, parents who understand each other’s strengths in handling a given situation, and utilized social supports when available, demonstrated better overall family adjustment (Daire, Gonzalez, & O’Hare, 2017). Moreover, coparental support increases social capital, which is a factor in parents’ school engagement (Hill & Taylor, 2004).…”

This study examined the relational factors influencing school engagement for parents of high school youth with emotional/behavioral disorders. Fourteen parents of high school students (12 mothers, two fathers) who received special education services participated in semistructured interviews. Formal qualitative analyses of audiotaped phone interviews revealed some positive and some negative experiences by parents, the importance of coparenting to increase supportiveness to their child (and dimensions of effective coparenting), and recommendations from them for improving family engagement processes. In general, parents appreciated and recommended proactive and positive communication and collaboration with school staff emphasizing student strengths, being genuinely and meaningfully involved in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process, with adequate time allowed for this involvement, and for staff to be organized and engaged in working with them. Findings are discussed in relation to ideas for practice and policy enhancement, and future research directions.
