“…To illustrate, in the infant-to-toddler period children become highly motivated to explore their environment, as well as initiate actions themselves, and do things on their own (Thomann & Carter, 2008;Verhoeven, Van Baar, & Deković, 2019). Therefore, children need parents who encourage their independent behavior by providing them with opportunities to learn and explore (Verhoeven et al, 2019). At the same time, the child's environment becomes more complex and the child needs to learn what is permitted and how to behave in diverse situations (Thomann & Carter, 2008;Verhoeven et al, 2019).…”

Thus, children need parents to maintain an organized and structured family environment, with which they help their children to grasp the complexity of situations and teach them about appropriate behavior (Del Vecchio & O'Leary, 2006;Thomann & Carter, 2008;Verhoeven et al, 2019).…”

Parental support, stimulation, positive discipline, and structure are all important for social-emotional adjustment of toddlers and preschoolers. However, less is known about the relative importance of these positive parenting practices. The current crosssectional study examines the associations between positive parenting practices and child social-emotional difficulties in relation to child age and parental gender. Design. 446 Dutch families (446 mothers, M age = 33.51 years; 446 fathers, M age = 35.63 years) rearing a child (46.9% boys) between 17 and 48 months of age (M age = 31.64) participated. Parents reported on their own positive parenting practices, and mothers reported on child externalizing and internalizing behaviors as an indication of social-emotional difficulties.Results. Increased support from both mothers and fathers, and maternal provision of structure are associated with lower levels of child externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Positive discipline from both mothers and fathers, however, is related to higher levels of child externalizing and internalizing behaviors, and stimulation from both mothers and fathers is unrelated to either. These associations are not moderated by child age and are similar for mothers and fathers, except maternal structure is linked to lower levels of child externalizing and internalizing behaviors, whereas paternal structure is unrelated to child social-emotional difficulties. Conclusions. The present study underscores the significance of investigating the effects of multiple positive parenting practices simultaneously and calls for involving both mothers and fathers in parenting programs.

She Thinks in English, But She Wants in Mandarin: Differences in Singaporean Bilingual English–Mandarin Maternal Mental-State-Talk

Chinese-speaking parents are believed to use less cognitive mental-state-talk than their English-speaking counterparts on account of their cultural goals in socializing their children to follow an interdependence script. Here, we investigated bilingual English–Mandarin Singaporean mothers who associate different functions for each language as prescribed by their government: English for school and Mandarin for in-group contexts. English and Mandarin maternal mental-state-talk from bilingual English–Mandarin mothers with their toddlers was examined. Mothers produced more ‘’cognitive’’ terms in English than in Mandarin and more ‘’desire’’ terms in Mandarin than in English. We show that mental-state-talk differs between bilingual parents’ languages, suggesting that mothers adjust their mental-state-talk to reflect the functions of each language.

“…Parents play a prominent role in guiding their toddlers towards the achievement of a set of socio-emotional and cognitive skills that are essential for a healthy socialization (Verhoeven et al 2019). Beyond parents' degree of involvement, the way parents actually show their involvement plays a decisive role throughout the socialization process (e.g., Moroni et al 2015).…”

The role of maternal emotion regulation in controlling parenting during toddlerhood: an observational study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study investigated the protective role of maternal adaptive emotion regulation in applying controlling parenting practices while assisting their toddler in completing two different problem-solving tasks. More specifically, the role of maternal emotion regulation was examined relative to significant situational (i.e., task difficulty) and child-related (i.e., toddlers' temperamental negative affectivity) risk factors for controlling parenting. Results showed that (1) mothers' integrative emotion regulation was negatively related to observed maternal control across tasks, (2) mothers were more controlling during a difficult task compared to an easy task, and (3) toddlers' temperamental negative affectivity related positively to the use of observed maternal control, albeit only during a difficult task. These results highlight the relevance of maternal emotion regulation processes during parenting practices beyond contextual and temperamental correlates. Directions for future research and clinical implications are discussed.
