Marital distress, aggression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are commonly linked in research. However, less often is the consideration of the impact on children, and specifically, their increased mental health symptoms.
Parents' positive and negative feelings about their young children influence both parenting behavior and child problem behavior. Research has not previously examined factors that contribute to positive and negative feelings in parents of young children with developmental delay (DD).
Parenting and child problem behaviors are influenced by the parents' positive and negative feelings toward the child. However, among parents who have children with developmental delays, little is known about the factors that contribute to their positive and negative feelings.
The current study investigated the parent–child relationship by examining associations between parent stress, parental discipline strategies, child disruptive behavior problems, and level of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms.
Stress and disruptive behavior in children are often topics of concern among parents. This study examined the association between parental stress, parenting strategies, and disruptive behavior problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Background: The Maternal Child Health Bureau identified six indicators of quality and accessibility essential in achieving coordinated, family-centered, community-based care for children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN).
Introduction: Studies have shown that parents of children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) exhibit higher levels of stress than parents of typically developing children or children with other types of developmental delays (DD).
