Gavora, Peter. "Czech mothers read books to their young children: association with mothers’ education." Journal of Language and Cultural Education 8, no. 1 (2020): 1–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/jolace-2020-0001.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract The study concentrated on mothers’ reading to their preschool children. Three broad questions were posed about how the mother’s educational level is associated with: (1) the mother’s reasons to read to the child, (2) frequency and duration of this reading, (3) mother-child literacy interaction with the child. The sample of low education mothers (n=55) and high education mothers (n=213) was recruited to fill in a questionnaire of 46 items. Higher education mothers outperformed low education mothers in these variables: reading to the child in order to enhance cognitive development, appreciate the time they are with the child in reading sessions, reading to child frequency, and the number of books the child possesses. On the other hand, low education mothers more frequently than high education mothers ask children about book characters and explain reasons for reading.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSatisfaction with time spent together is an integral part of the overall satisfaction of any relationship. This study examines young school-aged children's and mothers' satisfaction with the time they spend together. While 906 mothers and 675 children (49.0% males) from seven schools in middle to high SES areas in a regional Queensland city participated in the study, just less than half (n= 319, 47.3%) of the children could be matched with their mother. In a classroom lesson administered by the teachers, children were asked if they were happy with the time they had together with their mum and dad or whether they would like more time. In a separate survey, mothers were asked how satisfied they were with the time they spend with their child. More mothers than children were satisfied with the time they have together. Children were more satisfied with the time they spent with their mother than their father. Significant relationships between mother's satisfaction and her employment status and her child's after-school care arrangements were found. More mothers were satisfied if they did not work full-time and were able to provide some hours of care for their child after school. There was a significant relationship between the children's behaviour scores and their after school care arrangements.

Full textAbstract:
Cultures differ from one another in the types of competence that adults encourage in children, the age at which they expect a given skill to be acquired, and the level of proficiency they want children to achieve. The concept of developmental timetables refers to the ages at which parents expect skills to appear in children. The purpose of the study was to investigate the developmental timetables of rural and urban mothers in Bali, Indonesia, and the extent to which mother’s teach children various skills before Kindergarten age. The total sample was 200, 100 rural mothers and 100 urban mothers in the regency of Badung. Mothers responded to a structured questionnaire which was read to them aloud by trained interviewers who then recorded the responses. All the mothers had children between 4-6 years old; equal numbers of male and female children were included, and the entire economic and educational ranges were represented. Results showed that urban and rural mothers differed in their age expectations of children's development. Rural mothers reported wider age ranges as well as older mean ages of skill acquisition by children compared to urban mothers. Furthermore, specific caregiving activities, were performed earlier by urban mothers compared to rural mothers. However, reading the first book to the child was both quite late for urban and rural mothers. The implications of the findings to child development were discussed.

In this study, the resilience of mothers with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) was investigated and compared to the resilience of mothers with typically developing children. The factors "mother"s age", "educational level" and "number of children" were examined to determine if they influence the resilience of the two groups of mothers. Resilience was assessed using the Resilience Scale (RS) by Wagnild & Young (1993). The study involved 172 mothers of children with ASD and 153 mothers of typically developing children. The results showed that mothers of children on the autism spectrum are less resilient than mothers of typically developing children. Additionally, the effect of mother"s age and educational level on resilience was confirmed only for mothers with children with ASD. The number of children in the family did not differentiate the results. In conclusion, the need for psychological empowerment of mothers with children with ASD was identified.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Breastfeeding has always been proven beneficial for infant and mother’s health in every era. Thus, the present study was conducted to assess mothers' infant and young child feeding practices in Karachi, Pakistan, and their knowledge about the health impacts on their children.
 Methodology: A cross-sectional survey-based study including 1200 mother-child pairs was conducted from March to November 2020. Mothers' knowledge toward indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) questionnaire was used and scored using a four-point Likert scale.
 Results: Out of the total, most of the females were un-educated (97%), and the majority of them belonged to the middle class (49%). It was also found that 96% of the mother had breastfed their child, and more interestingly, 35% breastfed their child for 2 years. Almost 82% of mothers preferred breastfeeding and considered it necessary for the child. It was found that females had excellent knowledge about the young child feeding practices and their health impacts (66%). Furthermore, mother age, marital status, socioeconomic status (SES), number of children, occupation, personal and family disease history were significantly associated with the knowledge level of the mothers (p<0.05).
 Conclusion: It was found that females had excellent knowledge about the young child feeding practices and their health impacts. Future research is recommended to compare mothers' knowledge regarding infant and young child feeding practices in different geographical areas and districts of Karachi.

Purpose: This study investigated the parenting experiences of mothers of young children born moderate-to-late preterm (MLPT) in South Korea. Methods: In this qualitative study, semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with 10 mothers of MLPT children from infancy to preschool age. The interviews were video-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Four categories resulted from the analysis of parenting experiences of mothers with young MLPT children, as follows: "becoming a mother of an early-born child", "difficulties as the primary caregiver for a high-risk child", "helpful social support, but still a lack of professional support for parenting a high-risk child", and "mothers and children growing together". Conclusion: Mothers of young MLPT children experienced difficulties due to concerns about their child's health, growth and development, and insufficient child-rearing support. Therefore, social support systems should be strengthened and more aggressive nursing strategies should be adopted for mothers of young MLPT children.

Children of adolescent mothers do not fare well cognitively or behaviorally over time. Both short-term and long-term studies corroborate these findings. Our preliminary data help us focus on the vulnerabilities and strengths of young mothers in their interactions with their children. We suggest, on the basis of these preliminary data, that intervention be directed toward nurturing the young mother and her infant or child in a day-care setting so that she can better learn to nurture her child. The gains to young mothers and children as well as to society will be substantial if we can decrease the very distressing morbidity observed long-term in the children of adolescent mothers.

Ninety-seven percent of the participants were married; 96% of them had university education. Seventy-nine percent of them were working mothers and 50% of them did not get any help in childcare. Forty-two percent of the participants had only 1 child, 49% had 2 children, 8% 3 children and only 1 mother had 4 children. Depressive symptoms were present in 73% of the participants and were significantly higher among mothers aged between 30 and 40. However, depression was certain in only 36% of them and there was no significant difference between the two age groups. Eighteen percent of the participants noticed an increase in consummation of cigarettes, 31% resorted to tranquilizers, 25% needed sick leaves, and 2% resorted to alcohol use. Less working hours was suggested as a solution in 36% cases, sharing house chores in 30% cases.ConclusionDepression among young mother is a public health problem in Tunisia. It is underestimated and not always treated, which can have a serious impact on the whole family well-being.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract How a mother responds to her young child's early communication behavior has been found to contribute to the children's scores on cognitive and language measures. This effect has been found in both children with and without developmental disabilities. Aided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is a communication strategy used with young children with developmental disabilities. Currently, there have been no studies addressing how a mother's play with her children may change when an aided AAC device is added. In this study 25 dyads participated in familiar and unfamiliar to play with and without a BIGmack present. Mothers' responsive and directive behaviors were coded and compared across both types of play. When the two conditions were compared, mothers showed more overall responsiveness to their children's communication when the BIGmack was present. Mothers did not increase their directive behaviors significantly between the two conditions.

Parents' perceptions of raising young children were examined using the Parent Behavior Checklist. The sample included 44 married couples with children between one and four years of age. Parents completed the checklist twice, first based on how each parent was raising one own child and second based on how each perceived the spouse was raising the same child. The results indicated that fathers and mothers had similar developmental expectations for their young children. Fathers tended to be more disciplinarian and mothers more nurturing. Mothers perceived fathers as having higher expectations than did fathers, and fathers perceived mothers as more disciplinarian than did mothers. Correlation coefficients computed to assess agreement between mothers' and fathers' perceptions of their parenting averaged .68, which is comparable to those found for other rating scales completed by parents. Implications are discussed.

Recurrent respiratory infections (RRIs) in children remain a pertinent issue in modern medicine. According to literary data, the prevalence of this phenomenon can reach up to a quarter of the child population. RRIs adversely affect a child’s physical development, social adaptation, and give rise to intra-family conflicts. Purpose - to investigate the contribution of psychological predictors from the mother’s perspective in the development of recurrent courses of respiratory infections in their young school-age children. Materials and methods. The study included surveys of mothers (Spielberger-Hanin State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Varga-Stolin Parenting Attitudes Test) and their children (R. Temple, M. Dorki, E. Amen “Choose a face” projective test). The main group comprised children aged 5-7 years with RRIs according to the criteria of the 2021 Inter-Society Consensus. The control group consisted of children aged 5-7 years who experienced occasional acute respiratory infections. Results. In our study, 40 families (mothers and children) participated. We found that mothers of children with RRIs had significantly higher levels of state and trait anxiety, as well as a higher score in the “Cooperation” parenting attitude model compared to the control group. In the structure of the anxiety phenomenon in mothers of children from the main group, 43% of cases exhibited high anxiety levels. Additionally, a high score in maternal personal anxiety correlated with a predominant choice of ineffective parenting models. Conclusions. Mothers of children with a RRI have significantly higher levels of situational and personal anxiety (p<0.01). 43% of mothers of children with RRIs exhibit excessively high levels of personal anxiety. Furthermore, more anxious mothers tend to adopt the following parenting models towards their own children: “Little looser”, “Authoritarian hypersocialization” and “Rejection”. The predictive value in the development of RRIs in children is associated with the level of maternal trait anxiety and the psychological portrait of the mother-child relationship, namely the score for by the “Cooperation” model. Data collection and processing were conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association regarding ethical principles in medical research involving human subjects. The informed consent of patients was obtained for the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

With most current studies focusing on the snapshot of family structure and offspring relationship outcomes, this study examined how children’s exposure to mothers’ cumulative relationship history affected the likelihood of their own romantic involvement in adolescence and relationship frequency from adolescence to young adulthood. Using a large, nationally representative dataset, this study found that the number of mothers’ relationship transitions was positively associated with both the likelihood of romantic involvement among adolescent children and relationship frequency their children had from adolescence to young adulthood. Further, the association between mothers’ relationship transitions and young adults’ relationship frequency was mediated by mother-adolescent relationship closeness and young adults’ attitude towards marriage and relationships. Finally, an interaction between mother-adolescent relationship closeness and adolescent gender on young adults’ relationship frequency was found.

Abstract Understanding the needs and experiences of parents with intellectual disability (ID) and their children is critical to ensuring that policies can effectively support these families. This research analyzed data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the health outcomes of U.S. children whose mothers have (n = 263) and do not have ID (n = 1,298). Compared to mothers without ID, mothers with ID experienced worse outcomes related to socioeconomic status, limited support networks, and poor self-reported health. However, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, mother's intellectual disability was not associated with a child having fair or poor health, asthma, or being overweight or obese.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Stunting is caused in part by feeding behavior in infants and young children. Knowledge is the most important factor in shaping one's attitude and behavior, particularly when it comes to infants and young children feeding. This study aims to find out how the mothers’ knowledge of infant and child feeding could be increased through booklets in Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.
 Method:
 This study is a quasi-experimental non-randomized study with pre and post-test only control design. Study was conducted in Jayabakti Village, Banggai Regency. Sample consisted of 40 mothers of children under five collected with purposive sampling method from October to December 2020. At the local Integrated Health Service Post, booklets were distributed once a month as part of the study intervention. Over the duration of the three-month study period, booklets were distributed three times. The used booklets were the modified version of the WHO-developed Infant and Young Child Feeding Counseling: An Integrated Course. The mean difference was used to compare the results of the pre- and post-tests on knowledge of infant and young child feeding. The hypothesis test was applied with a 95% confidence level of 0.05.
 Result: The respondents with ages ranging between 15 and 20 were 42.5%. Mothers graduated from senior high schools were 45%. Mothers that had three children were 55.0%. Family income was 586,000 rupiahs in average. After the booklets distribution for three months, there was an increase in the mothers’ knowledge regarding infant and young child feeding. The older the mother's age, the better her knowledge (p=0,015). Factors of children's age and mother's education did not have a significant effect.
 Conclusion:
 Mothers knowledge regarding infant and young child feeding at Banggai Regency Central of Sulawesi is generally good. After using the booklets, their knowledge has increased. With time, the mother's knowledge expands. Formal education has no significant effect on infants and young children nutrition knowledge

Full textAbstract:
This research is motivated by the rising phenomenon of young mothers who do sharenting. Sharenting is a phenomenon of parents' habit of sharing information about their children on social media. This study aimed to identify descriptions sharenting by young mothers in Yogyakarta. This study employed descriptive qualitative research, collecting data through interviews, observations, and recordings. The data analysis technique in this study adopts phenomenological research analysis. Findings suggest that sharenting among young mothers includes young mothers sharing using social media accounts to make information about their children more accessible to others; young mothers sharenting without regard for anonymous sharing; and young mothers accidentally exposing their children's real whereabouts or full names; young mothers don't give their children veto rights over online creations; young mothers accidentally share pictures of their children undressing; and young mothers don't think the sharenting effect will affect their children's present and future state.

Full textAbstract:
It is still debated whether lockdown conditions in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) health crisis seriously affected children’s sleep. For young children, some studies identified more insomnia, while others only transient disturbances, or even no effect. Based on the premise of mother–child synchrony, a well-known dynamic established in child development research, we hypothesized that principally, the children whose mothers perceived the lockdown as stressful and/or responded maladaptively, suffered sleep disturbances. The main objective of this study was to identify the family profiles, variables, and lockdown responses most linked to insomnia in young children. The sample consisted of 165 mothers, French vs. Swiss origin (accounting for different lockdown severities), of children 6 months to 5 years old. Validated sleep, stress, and behavior scales were used. Multiple regression, age-matched clustering, and structural equation modeling analyses provided evidence that insomnia in young children is indeed strongly linked to the mother’s reaction to the pandemic and lockdown. Specifically, reactions such as COVID-19 fear/anxiety and obsessive COVID-19 information seeking coincide with heightened vigilance, cascading into reduced child social contact, outings, and increased screen viewing, ultimately culminating in child insomnia and behavioral problems. Mother education level and child day care quality (e.g., home-schooling) were also identified as strong insomnia predictors.

Information on socioeconomic aspects,IYCF practices were elicited from mothers of young children through pre tested semi structured questionnaire. Height and weight and MUAC of these children were measured using standard methods.nutritional status was assessed using WHO growth standard 2006. Sixteen percent of the households had Below Poverty Card (BPL) 70.8% were other backward class. The educational attainment was limited for respondent mothers. Around 2.5 percent of the surveyed mothers never attended schools, and 45.8 percent had attended until grade 7. 57 % of the children were male. The overall stunting prevalence among children less than 60 months of age in the survey areas was 11.1 percent (&#60;-2SD). As per MUAC cut-off for children, only 1.39% are at higher risk between 37-60 months of age. (MUAC &#60;11.5cm). One-half of the children were breastfed immediately after the birth, and 48.3% children were breastfed within one hour of the birth. Only 64.2% children were given colostrum (yellow milk) which is known as “Immunity booster for the child”. Eighteen percent of the children were fed with pre-lacteals. Breastfeeding till the completion of 6 months were attained by 95.8% children. 78.3% children mothers’ reported the initiation of complementary feeding at right age i.e. after completion of 6 months of age. Conclusion: Under nutrition in young children needs to be prevented. Mothers of young children needs to be sensitized for optimal IYCF practices.

Background: Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF) includes breast feedind and complementary feeding. Proper feeding practices are essential for proper nutrition, growth, development and survival of infant and young children.Maternal knowledge and feeding attitude has been shown to be a stronger predictor of breast feeding initiation and complementary feeding practice. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices of mothers regarding infant and young child feeding. Material and Methods: This cross sectional study was done in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from June 2017 to November 2017.A total number of 218 mothers having children between 0-23 months were included.Modified Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) and 5 point Likert scale was applied to assess maternal attitude towards infant and young children feeding. The relationship between infant feeding knowledge, attitude and practices and socio-demographic variables was tested by using Chi-square test. Relationship among mothers knowledge, attitude and practices regarding IYCF was showed by Spearman’s correlation. Results: The study result showed that, 83.5% mothers had good knowledge about IYCF but only half of them had good practice. Almost everyone ( 99.1% ) agreed that breast milk is best for new born baby. Most of the mother (94%) knew that exclusive breast feeding should be given for six months but only half of them (51.1%) practiced EBF.Though 72.5 % mothers had positive attitude towards breast feeding but about two third (63.6%) of them gave formula milk within 6 completed months. About two third of mothers (60.2%) used bottle for feeding their child. Most of the mother (94%) had knowledge about complementary feeding but only 55.7% mother provide complementary feeding accurately with atleast four different types of food. This study showed that educational background has significant relationship with KAP of mothers regarding IYCF. Conclusion: The study concluded that, majority of the mothers had good knowledge and a positive attitude towards breastfeeding and complementary feeding but they did not practice this properly.There is a strong association between mother’s educational background and KAP (Knowledge, attitude & practice) regarding IYCF.

This study analyzed 102 papers published in domestic journals from 2009 to 2022 according to the year, research type and data analysis method, research subject, and research subject to understand domestic research trends related to depression of mothers with infant children. The analysis results show that first, more than three papers related to mother depression with infant children were published steadily every year between 2009 and 2022, and 54 papers (53%) were published between 2015 and 2018, and more studies were conducted than in other periods. Second, in terms of research type and data analysis method, quantitative research accounted for the highest proportion with 91 articles (89.2%), and major data analysis methods were structural equation models and regression analysis methods, 7 qualitative studies (6.9%), and 4 mixed studies (3.9%), showing a smaller proportion than quantitative studies. Third, by research subject, 88 papers (86.3%) targeting mothers from general families were the most common. Next, there were 7 papers targeting mothers with children with disabilities (6.9%), and 3 papers (2.9%) for multicultural families and low-income families, respectively. Fourth, in the research trend of each research topic, the most research on mother depression was conducted on the child variable, and the most research looked at the relationship between the child's developmental characteristics and mother's depression, followed by individual variables such as mother's psychosocial characteristics, couple variables, and family variables. Based on these results, the direction of further research related to mother depression was suggested.

There are few studies on the relationship of mother’s nutritionKnowledge, Attitude and Practice on the nutritional status of school children. It is a cross-sectionalstudy aimed to associate the nutritional Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of mothers and thenutritional status of children. About 100 children and their mothers were selected, according to theinclusion criteria, such as children with the specified age group between 6-12 years. We collected theinformation related to socio demographic profile, Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of mother usingthe developed questionnaire adopted from FAO manual. The nutritional status of the children wasassessed through anthropometric measurement. The SPSS 16.0 version was used for the statisticalanalysis. The study results showed that the illiterate mother secured higher mean KAP scores.Although, the socio economic status of the family influenced the nutritional Knowledge, Attitudeand Practice score of the mother, the statistical significance was not found. The higher meannutrition knowledge, attitude and practice score of the mother was associated highly with the highermean height, weight and BMI of the children.

Full textAbstract:
One of the contributing factors in the growth and development of children under five is the mother’s ability to provide childcare, but young mothers do not have enough parenting skills. The goal of the current study was to examine the effect of the parenting peer education (PPE) programme on young mothers’ parenting self-efficacy and behaviour, and the growth and development of children under five. There were two groups, which were a control group (without intervention) and an intervention group, in which there were 15 participants in each group. Analysis covariance with the pre-test scores as covariates was used in this study. The results showed that, compared with the control group, the intervention group reported significantly better parenting self-efficacy, parenting behaviour, children’s growth, and children’s development, including cognitive, language, and motoric aspects. The PPE programme can exchange the young mothers’ experiences on how their children grow and develop, and the mothers will also receive psychological support. In conclusion, the PPE programme affected the young mothers’ parenting self-efficacy and parenting behaviour and the children’s growth and development.

AbstractMothers with histories of alcohol and drug addiction have shown greater difficulty parenting young children than mothers with no history of substance misuse. This study was the second randomized clinical trial testing the efficacy of Mothering From the Inside Out (MIO), a 12-week mentalization-based individual therapy designed to address psychological deficits commonly associated with chronic substance use that also interfere with the capacity to parent young children. Eighty-seven mothers caring for a child between 11 and 60 months of age were randomly assigned to receive 12 sessions of MIO versus 12 sessions of parent education (PE), a psychoeducation active control comparison. Maternal reflective functioning, representations of caregiving, mother–child interaction quality, and child attachment were evaluated at baseline and posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. Mother–child interaction quality was assessed again at 12-month follow-up. In comparison with PE mothers, MIO mothers demonstrated a higher capacity for reflective functioning and representational coherence at posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. At 12-month follow-up, compared to PE cohorts, MIO mothers demonstrated greater sensitivity, their children showed greater involvement, and MIO dyads showed greater reciprocity. As addiction severity increased, MIO also appeared to serve as a protective factor for maternal reflective functioning, quality of mother–child interactions, and child attachment status. Results demonstrate the promise of mentalization-based interventions provided concomitant with addiction treatment for mothers and their young children.

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in parenting attitude and parenting stress and the pro-sociality of young children according to individual variables of Uzbekistan mothers, and to analyze the relationship between mothers' parenting attitudes and parenting stress and the pro-sociality of young children. The subjects of the study were 200 young children and their mothers from four kindergartens located in Khorazm, Uzbekistan. The collected data were subjected to t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis using the SPSS 23.0 program. As a result of the study, first, it was found that there was a significant difference in the parenting attitude according to the mother's variables according to the child's age, mother's educational background, occupation, and total family income. There were significant differences in mother's parenting stress in children's age, mother's age, educational background, occupation, and total family income. Second, the prosociality of infants was found to be significantly different according to the age of infants, mother's educational background, and occupation. Third, there were positive correlations with the child's prosociality and the mother's parenting attitude, autonomy, affectionate attitude, and negative correlation with the insensitivity of parenting stress and role limitations.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the phenomenon of parenting stress: the concept, structure, and factors that influence its emergence. The analysis of foreign studies revealed 3 main groups of factors of parenting stress in mothers of early- and preschool- aged children: child’s characteristics, personality characteristics and mother’s socio-demographic characteristics, socio-psychological factors. The study showed that parenting stress in this group of mothers interplays with the temperament of the child, his health and age. As personal characteristics are concerned, the closest relations were found with the neuroticism of the mother and her assessment of self-efficacy. The review also revealed the effect of depression and psychopathology on maternal personality and constructive coping strategies which help to reduce parenting stress. The experience of neglect and abuse in childhood, a low level of marriage satisfaction and social support contribute to increased parenting stress of mothers having children of early and preschool age

Full textAbstract:
Theoretical work relating economic effect of children suggests that labor market participation decreases for mothers with large number of young children and increases when children are adults. The majority of empirical studies find results consistent with this expectation, but there are some studies which fail to confirm this theoretical prediction for the developing countries. This paper used data from a household survey of rural and urban married women to test the theoretical prediction that labor market participation decreases for mothers with large number of young children and increases when children are adults. Results show that when all households are considered, children seem to have positive effects on the probability of the mother’s work participation. However, when household lifecycle and rural-urban location differences are considered, coefficients are negative (but not statistically insignificant) for urban households with large number of young children and positive (and statistically significant) for those households with more adult children; whereas for rural households, these coefficient signs are reversed. Results from the quantitative data combined with qualitative narratives suggest that large numbers of young children do not prohibit rural mothers from working.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Sleep in young children affects both family functioning and maternal mental health and well-being. However, little is known about parental perceptions about daytime sleep. Thus, the aims of this study were to determine maternal perceptions of (1) naps overall, and (2) how naps impact child and maternal functioning. Methods Mothers of 465 infants and toddlers (4-36mos; M=18.5mos) completed an online questionnaire addressing questions about maternal nap perceptions, as well as the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire–Revised (BISQ-R). Global nap perceptions were categorized as positive or negative. Perceived impact on mother and child was also assessed. Results Overall, 95% (n=440) reported that their child napped. The majority of mothers agreed that naps were important (98.2%). Over one third (38.9%) wanted to change something about their child’s naps and 28% reported that naps are a problem. Furthermore, the majority of mothers believed that naps were an important part of their child’s day (94.6%), and that when they nap well their child is in a better mood (97.3%), more easy-going (95.7%), has fewer tantrums (88.7%), and is a better listener (84.4%, toddlers). Fewer mothers reported that their child’s nap is frustrating (21.8%) or are more trouble than they are worth (4.1%). Just under half wished their child fell asleep faster/easier for naps (49.0%), and one third wished they napped longer (35.5%).Finally, the majority of mothers believe that their child’s naps are an important part of their own day (94.1%), improve their own mood (87.1%) and make them feel more calm (89.9%). When their children nap, mothers can nap themselves (51.0%), get more done in the house (91.5%), get more work done (87.4%), spend more time with others (77.9%), and spend more time doing things for themselves (79.5%). Conclusion Overall, the vast majority of mothers believe that their child’s naps are important for their child, as well as for themselves. However, one third report that their child’s nap is problematic, almost one half want to change something (e.g., that their child fell asleep faster/more easily and napped longer). Future studies are needed focusing on interventions for daytime sleep issues to improve both child and family functioning. Support (If Any) Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., Skillman, NJ, USA

Full textAbstract:
When young children tell their mothers that they are being sexually abused by their father, the mother faces a dilemma; if she does nothing, state child protection services can remove her children as being in need of care and protection. If police are called, she is likely to be told to leave the family home to keep her children safe. If she does, the father is likely to turn to the federal family law system1 to seek time with the children. If the mother seeks an order for supervised, or no further contact with the child to protect them from abuse, she may lose residence of the child and the child may be ordered to live with the abusing parent.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether content words are selectively highlighted through increased vowel duration in mothers' speech to young children. Fifteen mother-child dyads served as subjects. All children (ages 1:6x2013;2:4) were female and had a mean length of utterance between 1.00 and 1.40 morphemes. Each mother was asked to read five experimental stories aloud to her child and to an adult. The vowel durations of both content words and function words in these stories were examined. Vowels in content wordsx2014;but not function wordsx2014;were significantly longer in child-directed than in adult-directed speech. It is suggested that this characteristic of child-directed speech might heighten young children's attention to content words and contribute to the exclusion of function words during the early stages of English language development.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Among the multiple risk factors, the emergence of conduct problems in young children may be linked to harsh parenting and child’s temperamental difficulties, leading to a reciprocal early discordant relationship. Little is known about the characteristics of early parent–child interactions in young children with physical aggression. Objective: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the characteristics of mother–child interactions in dyads referred for excessive physical aggression in young children under 5 years of age compared to mother–child interactions in typically developing young children. Method: Mother–child interactions were assessed during a free-play session in both a clinical sample ( N = 70, child mean age = 3.5 years) and a nonclinical sample ( N = 80, child mean age = 3.5 years) by using the Rating Scale of Interaction Style (Clark and Seifer, adapted by Molitor and Mayes). Results: Significant differences were found between several interactive features in clinical and nonclinical dyads. In clinical dyads, mothers’ behaviors were often characterized by intrusiveness and criticism toward children, and poor facilitative positioning. Children with excessive aggressive behavior often displayed poor communication, initiation of bids, and poor responsiveness toward the mother. They displayed fewer sustained bouts of play than typically developing children did. In clinical dyads, strong positive correlations were found between child responsiveness and maternal interest in engagement ( r = .41, p < .001), while the child displaying sustained bouts of play was negatively correlated with the mother’s attempts to intrude on the child’s activity ( r = .64, p < .05). Conclusions: These data show that children with excessive aggressive behavior develop disrupted mother–infant interactions from a very young age. Several negative interactive features and correlations between child behavior and maternal behavior were found in clinical samples. The effects of these features add up and probably strengthen each other, thus leading to interactive difficulties from a very young age. More attention should be paid to early parent–child interactions in case of child behavioral problems. The recognition of these interactive dysfunctions is discussed in terms of clinical implications for therapeutic interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on mothers as key influencers in luxury retailing contexts. Design/methodology/approach Using a semiotic interpretation of mothers’ discourses, the authors underline the identity motivations for purchasing luxury apparel for their pre-adolescent children. Findings The paper shows that when shopping for luxury brands for their pre-adolescent children, mothers manage discrepancies between their “real” and “idealised” selves as well as the pushes and pulls of being a mother and a woman. Research limitations/implications The findings point to possible future research on this topic, particularly with regard to investigating how luxury stores and retailers can adapt so as to satisfy mothers’ identity quest. Practical implications Managers of luxury brand retail spaces looking at the future of retailing could analyse their store environment in the light of these mothers’ identity-related motivations. As well as focussing on how children look, store layout and merchandising should provide different spaces for mothers’ identity expression, using new in-store digital technologies. Originality/value This study is one of the first to analyse luxury shopping for children taking the point of view of mothers. The paper underlines how young mothers build their new maternal identity and their projected relationship with their child through purchases of children’s luxury goods in specific retail environments.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined Zimbabwean mothers‘ expression of maternal warmth as leaders of their young children aged one to three years in Masvingo urban. The study was informed by Urie Bronfenbrenner‘s Ecological Systems theory. The study used a phenomenological descriptive survey design with an open-ended questionnaire and focus group interviews with thirty-eight purposefully selected mothers as data collection methods. The design facilitated to bring to the surface deep issues and to make the voices of the mother participants heard. To make sense of the collected data, the researchers applied the grounded theory of data analysis to identify five themes under which the results were presented and discussed. This study established that Zimbabwean mothers understand the provision of maternal warmth to young children as being extremely important. The mothers positively expressed warmth and love to their children under three years of age within a cultural perspective. The study established that the mothers created an upward parenting spiral by prioritizing things that made children feel loved and happy. It was established that children who feel loved were autonomous, happy, cooperative and lovable. Regarding strictness, the study found that mothers were firm and fare, displaying an authoritative parenting style where children‘s needs and support were met. This study recommends that parental education on expressing warmth to ensure holistic development for children aged one to three year is needed. The government through the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare should step up efforts to help capacitate mothers with entrepreneurship skills for them to acquire resources needed for their young children

Full textAbstract:
A descriptive study was undertaken to look at the interactions, goals and purposes of four mothers as they shared two narrative and two expository texts with their preschoolers over a six-month period. The study was based within the framework of Vygotsky's (1978) theory of literacy and learning. A key factor in Vygotsky's theory is the social interaction between the literate adult and the young child. Informal observations of literacy in the home, discussions with mothers, and analysis of video recordings of story reading sessions revealed differences in the way literacy was constructed. Despite these differences there were also some similarities. Each mother in her own way was a successful teacher of her child and there was some support for Vygotsky's theory; through verbally mediated assisted performance the children were learning and were taught about literacy. However, there were some areas where mothers did not increase the challenge for their children as might be expected with the Vygotskian model. These findings prompted me to reflect on my practice and that of other early childhood teachers when sharing books with young children.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the difficulties of mothers in coping with the bullying of their children and their expectations concerning bullying intervention for young children in South Korea. Twenty mothers with young children were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed in Korean. Nvivo 12 software was used to analyze the data. Four themes emerged: “mothers’ coping strategies”, “problems of interventions”, “expectations of interventions”, and “developmentally appropriate interventions for young children”. Each theme was divided into categories and further into subcategories. Mothers used diverse strategies to intervene when their children were bullied and showed dissatisfaction with the current intervention system. Their expectations for interventions for young children were explained in terms of familial, school, and local/governmental levels. These results emphasized that intervention policies for bullying among young children should be urgently established, and intervention programs need to consider the developmental characteristics of young children.

Children between the ages 0 - 24 months are at high nutritional risk, which affects their growth and development, cognitive capacity, and productivity in adulthood. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the nutritional status of young children 0 - 24 months attending clinics in Tshwane Health Sub-District 1, Gauteng province, South Africa. A clinic-based cross-sectional quantitative descriptive study design was applied in this study. Anthropometric data were collected from 270 young children (107 aged 0 – 6 months, 91 aged 6.1 – 12 months, 47 aged 12.1 – 18 months, and 25 aged 18.1 – 24 months) in 10 clinics in Tshwane Health Sub-District 1 using a questionnaire. Data was captured on a Microsoft Excel 2016 spreadsheet and analysed using SAS (SAS Institute Inc, Carey, NC, USA), Release 9.4. A Pearson chi-square test was used to test for correlation between the socio-economic, demographic and the nutritional status of young children, where a P-value ≤0.05 was considered significant. The results of the study showed that 160 (59.3%) had normal weight for length, 18 (6.7%) were wasted, 22 (8.2%) were severely wasted, 24 (8.9%) were overweight and 46 (17.0%) were obese. One hundred and fifty-six (57.8%) had normal weight for age, 47 (17.4%) were underweight, 17 (6.3%) were severely underweight, 39(14.4%) had weight for age >+2SD and 11(4.1%) had weight for age >+3SD. 204 (75.6%) had normal length for age, 26 (9.6%) were stunted, 40 (14.8%) were severely stunted. For overweight young children, there was a significant association between weight and the number of people in the households, at P<0.038 and mothers weekly spend on food, at P<0.027. There was a significant association between length and the number of persons in the households at P<0.047, mothers' income at P<0.047, and mothers weekly spend on food at P<0.051. For underweight young children, there was a significant association between weight and weekly spend on food at P<0.037. There was a significant association between length and mothers' education at P<0.007. Although, the majority of young children had normal weight for length, normal weight for age and normal length for age. In this study, a significant number of young children were malnourished. The young child’s weight for length and weight for age were influenced by the mother’s weekly expenditure on food. Since the mother’s employment status influences the child's weight and length, the implementation of alternative nutrition intervention strategies to monitor and improve the nutritional status of young children is necessary. Key words: Underweight, wasting, stunting, undernutrition, overweight, obesity, malnutrition, nutritional status, young children, mothers

Objectives: Studies of a crucial period of emotional development among young children have recently been reported. This study aimed to verify the effect of mothers' nature relatedness on young children's emotional intelligence through young children's nature experience and nature relatedness.Methods: Data were collected from 278 mothers of children of ages three through five living in South Korea. Mothers were asked to complete questionnaires on their nature relatedness, and their young children’s nature experiences, nature relatedness, and emotional intelligence. Using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 27.0, this study calculated Pearson’s correlation and applied structural equation modeling for data analyses.Results: Significant positive correlations were found between mothers' nature relatedness, and young children's nature experiences in nature relatedness, and emotional intelligence. The correlation between mothers' and young children's nature relatedness was partially mediated by young children's nature experience. The relationship between mothers' nature relatedness and young children's emotional intelligence was fully mediated by young children's nature relatedness. This study identified a mediation pathway in which young children's nature experiences and young children’s nature relatedness mediated the effect of mothers’ nature relatedness on young children's emotional intelligence.Conclusion: This study identified specific pathways through which mothers' nature relatedness young children's nature experiences and nature relatedness influence the development of young children’s emotional intelligence. These findings also highlight the significance of the frequency of young children’s nature experiences in supporting their emotional development.

This research investigated the relationship between young children's temperament and maternal teaching techniques in 20 mother-child dyads. Children's temperament was assessed by mothers' reports on the Behavioral Style Questionnaire. Teaching behaviors, as assessed with the Maternal Teaching Observation Technique, were inquiry, directive, negative verbal feedback, modeling, visual cue, physical affection, positive physical control, and negative physical control Correlations were − .55 to − .60 for activity with mothers' use of verbal cues, children's adaptability and mothers' positive and negative verbal feedback, and children's distractability and mothers' modeling. The need for further research on parent-child interactions is noted.

Pairs of unacquainted preschool children and 6 to 8 month old infants were observed individually for 10 minutes in a laboratory playroom as the infants' mother attempted to engage the child in interaction with her baby. There were approximately equal numbers of male and female children in two age groupings-2 to 3 years and 4 to 5 years old. Children stayed closer to the infant} engaged in more toy play with the infant, asked the mother more questions about the infant, and were less resistant to interact with the infant than were children in a previous study in which the mothers did not attempt to facilitate interaction. A larger number of children interacted with infants when mothers were involved rather than uninvolved. ANOVAs for age, sex, and sex composition of the child-infant pair revealed few significant effects suggesting that most preschool children can be encouraged to respond positively to babies after only a brief exposure.

Full textAbstract:
Young mothers often look for solutions to problems related to childcare in groups associating other mothers on Facebook. One can find there not only numerous advice on, among others, nutrition, care or even treatment of infants, but also learn about various consumer trends. The aim of the article is to determine the role of social proof on groups of young mothers on Facebook in making consumer decisions. The research method used was the content analysis on a selected Polish group for young mothers on Facebook. It was hypothesized that social proof on Facebook groups is important in making consumer decisions of young mothers regarding their children. This applies to all products intended for young children, from care products, food products, toys, accessories for children, to medicinal products. Young mothers are often influenced by the prevailing trends and opinions of other members of the group for young mothers, who may be real mothers or – which one may not be aware of - representatives of various brands.

Full textAbstract:
Functional difficulty in children is a crucial public health problem still undervalued in developing countries. This study explored the socio-demographic factors and anthropometry associated with children’s functional difficulty in Bangladesh. Data for 2-4-year-old children, obtained from Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2019, were used in this study. The mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to analyse the data. Children whose mothers had functional difficulty were found to be 2.75 times more likely to have functional difficulty than children whose mothers had no functional difficulty (95% CI 1.63-4.63). Male children were more likely to experience functional difficulty than female children (OR = 1.48). Furthermore, stunting was found to be significantly associated with functional difficulty (OR = 1.50). The study also revealed that division and mother’s education, specifically, children with mothers having higher secondary + education, had significant association with the outcome variable. The findings provided a vital overview of child disability in a developing country.

Objectives: This study analyzed the relationship between mothers’ emotional expressiveness, young children’s self-regulation ability, and smart device overdependence tendency. In addition, it examined the direct and indirect effects of mothers’ emotional expressiveness and young children’s selfregulation ability on the smart devices overdependence tendency through structural model analysis.Methods: Participants in this study consisted of 225 young children and their mothers living in G city. Data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 18.0 and AMOS ver. 18.0 to carry out descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and the structural equation model.Results: The findings reveal that self-regulation ability negatively correlates with smart devices overdependence tendency. Moreover, the mother’s positive and negative emotional expressiveness indirectly affected the young children’s smart devices overdependence tendency through selfregulation. In other words, it was found that the mother’s emotional expressiveness completely mediates the young children’s self-regulation ability and indirectly affects the smart device overdependence tendency.Conclusion: The significance of this study is that it revealed risk and protective factors that affect young children’s smart device overdependence in a social situation where the problem of young children’s smart device overdependence has become more serious. Essentially, the findings can be utilized to develop a smart device overdependence prevention program for young children.
