“…First, this is one of the first studies that examine the influence of immigrant parents' gendered process of adaptation on parent-child dynamics at home. Previous developmental research has linked parental work or other stress with children's psychological outcomes (e.g., Hsueh and Yoshikawa 2007) and documented the important impact of family environment on children's development (e.g., Marturano et al 2005). However, little of this research has focused on recently arrived immigrant families.…”

Drawing on 5-year longitudinal interview data on 72 Chinese immigrant children and their parents in the U.S., this paper addresses the following research question: How does Chinese immigrant fathers' and mothers' adaptation after migration influence their relations with their children? Guided by grounded theory, data analyses show that parental adaptation difficulty, particularly among fathers, influences their physical and psychological presence in their children's lives. This, combined with parents' exceedingly high academic expectations, could result in estranged parent-child relations in families. This paper also illustrates how parental efforts to be good providers for their children and children's hope for parents as a source of emotional support can lead to parent-child alienation in immigrant families.

“…Variability in work schedules may lead to instability and chaos in family routines, further exacerbating negative child outcomes such as disruptions in school achievement, externalization of behavioral problems (Hsuch & Yoshikawa, 2007), and attention difficulties (Fiese & Winter, 2010). Hardway, Wilson, Shaw, and Dishion (2012) revealed that whereas positive behavior supports cultivation of the development of self-regulatory skills, household chaos acts as a deterrent to the development of many skills over time, stating that poor self-regulatory skills were related to increases in externalizing problems over time.…”

Economically strained couples experience a multitude of chronic stressors and are at greater risk for lower quality relationships with their children. Relationship education (RE) programs indicate positive results for economically strained couples who attend. However, most studies examine relationship satisfaction or communication patterns with few addressing the influence of RE on parental attitudes. Therefore, we examined changes in parental attitudes for couples (n ¼ 70) and compared differences in parental attitudes as measured by the empathy and family roles subscales of the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory-2 at preand post-assessment. Results partially supported the hypothesis becasue participants indicated no significant differences between pre-and post-scores on empathy; however, participants did indicate significant differences between pre-and post-scores on family roles. Implications of results and discussion are provided.

“…For the situational aspects of maternal suffering, bureaucratic difficulties that were experienced in different contexts were important in developing a sense of frustration and social impotence that were related to the requests and tasks that were proposed by social services (Arditti et al 2010). In these situations, the child's evolutional challenges are to cope with adversity, show his/her resourcefulness, resist threats and effectively adapt despite external personal and/or social difficulties (Hsueh and Yoshikawa 2007). The challenges of providing sensitive and structured care for children in foster care go well beyond the normative experiences of parenting (Murray et al 2011).…”

Comparing Maltreating and Foster Families in Italy

et al. 2015

Maltreating and foster families belong to different research areas and have rarely been considered together. This exploratory study compared maltreating and foster families to demonstrate an integrated approach that overcomes the dichotomic view that often separates problematic families from those who have resources. This study had 81 participants: 48 maltreating parents and 33 foster parents and the children who were in foster care. We examined family functioning (FES), adult attachment styles (ASQ) and foster children's strengths and difficulties (SDQ) in maltreating and foster families to examine the differences and similarities between families. Both types of families had significant differences on the FES and ASQ scales. Maltreating families had a stronger orientation to succeed and a family profile that was more orientated towards independence. Maltreating parents had higher scores on the scale that measured discomfort with closeness than foster families. However, both family types had a high level of confidence. Many foster children had SDQ scores that were in the borderline and problem categories. These components may promote a theoretical view of an integrated model for family and children's problems that promotes children's welfare and supports maltreating parents. Practitioners can build on parent's strengths or protective factors and provide services to address less developed areas.
