“…This mediating role suggests that parents who have a better perception of their own parenting skills feel more confident about their ability to cope with any possible adversities in the family system, including parental stress. The results of our study could be interpreted in terms of bidirectional systemic regulations, as indeed suggested by authors such as Breaux and Harvey (2018) and Deater-Deckard (2017). Supporting this systemic view, Ben-Naim et al (2019) reported a mediating role of parental stress and self-efficacy between children's ADHD and marital satisfaction.…”

Recent research suggests that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be influenced by interactions between the individual and their social context. This study examined the predictive value of family context variables and attentional control levels on child ADHD symptoms. A new explanatory model of the relationship amongst these variables was also tested. A sample of 754 families with children aged 7 to 11 was assessed through the Conners Parent Rating Scale, the Haezi-Etxadi Family Assessment Scale, and the Attention Network Test. Path analysis models showed a predictive association between children ADHD symptoms and Social Support Network, Parental Stress, Parental Self-efficacy, Attentional Control and being male. Furthermore, a stronger Social Support Network was associated with greater Parental Self-efficacy, a variable that predicted Parental Stress levels and children ADHD symptoms. In conclusion, a new multi-influence model of variables linked to ADHD symptomatology during mid-childhood is provided, which may be useful to support the design of family interventions.

“…Moreover, parental stress has been associated with attention deficits, poor self-regulation and behaviour problems among children (Barroso et al 2018). In this sense, Deater-Deckard (2004) highlights that parenting stress could arise from trying to adapt to the demands of parenthood and that it could also be influenced by parental and child adjustment.…”

“…However, the rate of the included mothers was higher than that of the fathers, which was consistent with a study in Mexico [ 24 , 41 ] and meant that mothers are always the primary caregivers of the children. The caregivers of children with ADHD experience great pressure [ 42 ]. From this point of view, the mental health status of those mothers who have children with ADHD should receive more attention and acquire more support.…”

Parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are crucial in the selection of the treatment strategy and how to care for children with ADHD. However, little is known about parents’ conception in mainland China. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess this information with 25 true/false questions regarding ADHD, and other questions investigating the methods of acquiring ADHD-related information, treatment preference, and concerns about ADHD treatment strategy. We found that the average score of all the participants was 17.42 ± 2.69 (total of 25 points) for the questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about ADHD. This indicated that the parents had insufficient knowledge of this disease profile. They always accessed specialized information through mobile internet. For the treatment options, the investigated parents chose psychotherapy treatment rather than medications, in that they worried about the side effects of medication and expected to find alternative treatment strategies. The present investigation demonstrated that most parents lack knowledge about ADHD in treatment decision making in China. Medical professionals should provide parents with evidence-based ADHD-related information to help them understand this disease.

“…Adverse birth outcomes are associated with ADHD in offspring [ 58 , 59 ]. Thirdly, young parents tend to have a history of hyperactivity problems, and the genetic susceptibility to ADHD in young parents may be transmitted to their offspring [ 60 , 61 ]. Moreover, the impulsivity associated with ADHD might lead to an increased rate of unplanned pregnancy, making young people become parents at an earlier age [ 62 , 63 ].…”

Evidence has suggested that parental age at birth is a risk factor of offspring attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies investigating the association between parental age and offspring ADHD. We conducted a systematic search that followed the recommended guidelines for performing meta-analyses on PUBMED, EMBASE, and Web of Science up to 8 April 2021. We calculated pooled risk estimates from individual age with and without adjusting for possible confounding factors. Dose–response analysis for parental age and ADHD risk was performed. Eleven studies were selected in this meta-analysis, which included 111,101 cases and 4,417,148 participants. Compared with the reference points, the lowest parental age category was associated with an increased risk of ADHD in the offspring, with adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 1.49 (95% confidence intervals (95%CI) 1.19–1.87) and 1.75 (95%CI 1.31–2.36) for the mother and father, respectively. The highest parental age was statistically insignificant, with adjusted ORs of 1.11 (95%CI 0.79–1.55) and 0.93 (95%CI 0.70–1.23) for mother and father separately. Dose–response analysis indicated a non-linear relationship of parental age with offspring ADHD, with the lowest ADHD risk at 31–35 years old. The results of this meta-analysis support an association between young parental age and the risk of ADHD. More high-quality studies are needed to establish whether the association with parental age is causal.
