“…In contrary to the expectations, there were no differences in connections between parent-child mutuality and children's peer competence for mother-child and father-child dyads. Even though existing evidence indicates that caregiving is a parenting domain predominately filled by mothers (Craig, 2006;Pleck & Masciadrelli, 2004), and play is a key component of fathering (Bonny, Kelley, & Levant, 1999;Renk et al, 2003), it appears that mother-child and father-child mutuality in these contexts is related in similar ways to children's peer competence. It will be important for future research to assess how parent-child mutuality manifests itself in more natural settings to better elucidate patterns of similarities and differences between mother-child and father-child dyads, and how mutuality relates to children's peer competence.…”

“…Gender differences in parental roles are seen in that mothers, rather than fathers, assume most of the primary caregiving responsibilities with children (Craig, 2006;Pleck & Masciadrelli, 2004). In addition, although fathers do not necessarily play more with children than do mothers, evidence suggests that play makes up the largest proportion of time that fathers spend with their young children (Bonny, Kelley, & Levant, 1999;Renk et al, 2003). To the extent that mothers fill the caregiving role more than fathers, and fathers' dominant parenting role is that of play partner, the behaviours that parents display in these roles may be differentially linked to children's adjustment.…”

This study examines the role that context plays in links between relative balance, or mutuality in parent-child interaction and children's social competence. Sixty-three toddlers and their parents were observed in a laboratory play session and caregiving activity (i.e. eating snack). Mutuality was operationalised as the relative balance in (a) partners' compliance to initiations, and (b) partners' expression of positive emotion. Caregivers rated children's social competence with peers, and children's prosocial and aggressive behaviour with peers was observed in their childcare arrangement. Contextual differences were observed in the manifestation of parent-child mutuality, with both motherchild and father-child dyads displaying higher mutual compliance scores in the play context than in the caregiving context. Father-child dyads also displayed higher levels of shared positive emotion during play than during the caregiving context. There were no differences in a way that parent-child mutuality during play and caregiving was associated with children's social competence with peers. Overall, the results suggest that parentchild mutuality is a quality of parent-child interaction that has consistent links to children's peer competence regardless of the context in which it occurs.

“…In turn, fathers' parenting behaviours (e.g., conflict with their children) are linked to their own depression as well as their children's behaviour problems (Kane & Garber, 2004). Further, mothers and fathers appear to have different responsibilities with regard to their child-rearing activities and to experience different levels of satisfaction with their parenting activities (Renk et al, 2003). Such findings suggest that mothers' and fathers' parenting activities, their views regarding their parenting behaviours, and their actual parenting behaviours may be important when examining children's behaviour problems.…”

In the past, research has demonstrated that parental depression and parenting practices are related. More recently, there has been an increase in research examining child outcomes as they are related to maternal and paternal psychopathology. To continue with this line of research, this study examined the relationships among mothers' and fathers' symptoms of depression, characteristics of their parenting practices, and their ratings of their young children's internalizing and externalizing behaviour problems.The results of this study demonstrated that these variables are related significantly. Further, the results of this study suggested that mothers' parenting, particularly their limit setting with their young children, is an important predictor of their ratings of their young children's externalizing behaviour problems in the context of their own symptoms of depression. A different pattern of relationships may be present for fathers, as both their symptoms of depression and their parenting characteristics predicted their ratings of their young children's externalizing behaviour problems. Such findings were not supported for young children's internalizing behaviour problems. These findings suggested that interventions should have different targets for mothers and fathers.

“…We have decided to target mothers rather than fathers for the following reasons; (a) if parents are divorced, children live mostly with their mothers [33], (b) on an average, children spend more time with their mothers than with their fathers, which gives mothers the practical advantage of having more time to deliver the anti-smoking socialization program to their children, [34] (c) women are generally more likely than men to enroll in health-related programs, (d) the U.S. trial also included only mothers, so including mothers would increase comparability of findings [20,21], and (e) given the plausibility that program effects would differ by parent's gender, including fathers would substantially increase the size and costs of the proposed trial.…”

Efficacy of smoking prevention program 'Smoke-free Kids': study protocol of a randomized controlled trial

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundA strong increase in smoking is noted especially among adolescents. In the Netherlands, about 5% of all 10-year olds, 25% of all 13-year olds and 62% of all 17-year olds report ever smoking. In the U.S., an intervention program called 'Smoke-free Kids' was developed to prevent children from smoking. The present study aims to assess the effects of this home-based smoking prevention program in the Netherlands.Methods/DesignA randomized controlled trial is conducted among 9 to 11-year old children of primary schools. Participants are randomly assigned to the intervention and control conditions. The intervention program consists of five printed activity modules designed to improve parenting skills specific to smoking prevention and parent-child communication regarding smoking. These modules will include additional sheets with communication tips. The modules for the control condition will include solely information on smoking and tobacco use.Initiation of cigarette smoking (first instance of puffing on a lighted cigarette), susceptibility to cigarette smoking, smoking-related cognitions, and anti-smoking socialization will be the outcome measures. To collect the data, telephone interviews with mothers as well as with their child will be conducted at baseline. Only the children will be examined at post-intervention follow-ups (6, 12, 24, and 36 months after the baseline).DiscussionThis study protocol describes the design of a randomized controlled trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based smoking prevention program. We expect that a significantly lower number of children will start smoking in the intervention condition compared to control condition as a direct result of this intervention. If the program is effective, it is applicable in daily live, which will facilitate implementation of the prevention protocol.Trial registrationNetherlands Trial Register NTR1465
