Parental aggressiveness towards a child, even in a mild form, can lead to higher levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. Parent-child physical aggression characterized as physical acts which can range from slapping, spanking, beating, burning, and scalding.
Life experiences relating to mobility and deployment may intersect with mainstream school cultures and affect the progress of military students. How K–12 teachers of military students construe and negotiate these intersections has not yet been substantively considered.
Educators from elementary schools near large military installations participated in focus groups and interviews and completed questionnaires regarding the knowledge, skills, and dispositions teachers perceive as being critical for supporting military students’ academic and social development.
This investigation examined the mutual influences between structured parenting and child social wariness during toddlerhood using a longitudinal adoption design. The sample consisted of 361 adoption-linked families, each including an adopted child, adoptive parents, and a birth mother.
Several studies have linked childhood anxiety symptoms to parenting behaviors; however, the mechanisms of this association are not well characterized and may be due to socialization, shared genes, or a combination of both.
Objective: The impact of the Global War on Terror on two million U.S. military children remains unknown.
Army parents with deployed spouses reported on the psychosocial functioning of their elementary school aged children using standardized psychosocial health and stress measures.
The purpose of this research was to determine relationships among perceived invincibility, demographic variables, and risk behaviors in adolescents of active duty and retired military personnel.
Adolescent children of military parents completed self-report questionnaires about their self-perception of invincibility (illusion of invulnerability) and level of risk-taking behaviors.
PURPOSE: Since 2001, many military families have experienced multiple and extended deployments.
