Full textAbstract:
This phenomenology study was conducted to explore the parents’ perceptions of the language development of children with language impairment (LI) before and after participation in parent-implemented enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) using the teach-model-coach-review (TMCR) model and the parents’ suggestions for improvement in language development of children with LI. Thirteen parents of children with LI participated in semi-structured interview. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the content. The findings of the study show that before participation in the intervention, parents perceived that requesting and asking someone to do something was important for their children, and they expected that their children would reach language development milestones. Parents also expected that speech therapy was clinician-directed therapy. After an eight-week parent training program, parents felt empowered and learned the EMT language strategies and implemented these strategies in the clinical and home settings. They were satisfied with the language outcomes of their children. In addition, the findings of the study show that parents suggest that parent-child interaction and the home language environment play an important role in their child’s language development.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the effectiveness of workshops on parental involvement in their children’s mathematical education. The study employed a quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. This study involved 76 parents from one senior secondary school in the Kweneng Region, Botswana. The study included three steps for data analysis: thematic content analysis, hypothesis testing, and descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that the parental involvement level before and after the intervention marked a difference with a significant increase. Parental involvement variables such as parenting style, parental expectations, home rules, parental supervision, communication between parents and children, children’s home mathematics activities, and parental attitude toward school all improved significantly. The findings further indicated that parental involvement in their child's general and mathematical learning can be improved. As a result, the study recommended that all basic education schools reach out to parents through parent education programs that can assist parents in understanding the value of being active in their children’s mathematics education, which will probably affect their education performance positively.

Full textAbstract:
Parents play an important role in their childrens dental care and in their behavior during dental visits. Separating children from their parents during dental visits has been a challenging subject of debate for many years. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate parents’ attitudes about being present during their children’s visits to the dentist. The subjects for this cross-sectional study included 340 Iranian parents of five-10-year-old children who had been referred to dental clinics in Kerman, Iran. For this study, the parents of these children completed self-administered questionnaires. Results showed that 218 parents (64.1%) agreed with leaving the practice room during their child’s treatment, while 122 (35.9%) did not agree. The main reason expressed by 41.3% of the parents for leaving the practicing room was that the dentist would be better able to control the child if they were alone. Another reason, cited by 16.5% of the parents, was not wanting to see their child suffering, and 42.2% said they believed that their child would be better treated if they were not present. Most parents who were in agreement with leaving the practice room while their child was receiving dental care felt this would lead to a better treatment outcome.

Full textAbstract:
Most packaged parent education programmes available in Victoria teach some underlying principles about children’s behaviour and offer specific skills or strategies for managing children. Whilst parent education is seen as an important part of a treatment plan for parents who have abused or neglected their children, these parents are rarely at a stage where they can make use of the information or strategies taught in the packaged programmes. Acutely vulnerable parents, who themselves have been hurt as children, must first heal some of their past before being able to learn and use new approaches to parenting. This paper considers the characteristics of acutely vulnerable parents and proposes some approaches that can be employed to assist these parents reach a point where they can respond to parent education and develop new positive ways relating to their children.

Full textAbstract:
Cerebral palsy is the main cause of disabilities among diseases of nervous system in childhood. According to the World Health Organization, the number of children born with cerebral palsy is 3-4 cases per 1000. The birth of a child with disabilities causes disorder of the normal course of family's life and often leads to disruption of relationships in the family. The reason is a huge psychological burden that the child's family members have to carry.The purpose of the research is to study the psychological features of parents raising children with cerebral palsy. Research methods are interviewing, testing (test for anticipatory competence by Mendelevich; Inclination to dependent behavior method by Mendelevich; Beck Depression Inventory; The Quality of Life Assessment inventory (SF-36 Health Status Survey); inventory of the emotional relations in the family by Zakharova; parental attitude inventory by Schaefer and Bell (PARI method). Experimental group included 25 parents of children with cerebral palsy who were undergoing rehabilitation at the center for children and adolescents with disabilities. Control group consisted of 25 parents raising children without neurological and somatic pathologies in one of Kazan educational institutions.The research results showed that parents raising children with cerebral palsy perform a reduced level of communication and insufficient ability to anticipate life events and situations. Parents of both groups have an increased tendency to addictive behavior, a high focus on psychoactive substances use and an increased risk of developing psychological dependence on psychoactive substances. Parents of children with cerebral palsy have a higher level of depression than parents of the control group. Parents of children with cerebral palsy show decreased activity and deterioration of health in general; their physical activity is limited by the actual state of health compared to the control group. The interests of mothers of children with cerebral palsy are limited only to the interests and concerns of the family and they tend to feel maternal self-sacrifice. The results of the study can be used to enhance parent-child relationships and the adaptation process.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Purpose: The use of digital media by very young children has attracted the interest of many researchers over the last decade. However, very few studies worldwide have focused on the use of digital media by children below 5. Furthermore, the framework of parental mediation that is used to understand the strategies that parents employ to manage their children’s use of digital media is limited to evidence based mainly on studies on TV viewing. As children, even young ones, seem to prefer touchscreen devices, especially tablets, because they are portable, easy to use 24/7, and provide autonomy of choice and use, research on parental mediation strategies for these devices should be conducted. This study aimed at exploring: (a) which type of mediation strategies parents of preschoolage children (3 to 5) employ to manage their children’s digital media use, and (b) the effect of digital media use by parents and parental mediation strategies on children’s digital media use in the context of the modern greek family. Methods: 103 parents of 3-5 year old children from all over Greece participated in this study by completing a questionnaire based on developmentally appropriate tools with good psychometric properties. Results: The results highlighted the decisive role played by Greek parents in shaping the digital experience of very young children. Parents' habits and practices regarding the use of digital devices, both for personal use and as a parenting tool, were found to be the most influential factor in young children's use of digital devices. Implications: This finding has important implications for the formulation of guidelines and policies regarding digital media use by children under 5 years of age.

 ABSTRACT
 Parental perception will affect the fulfillment of children’s participation rights. Fullfilment of children’s participation rights will be fulfilled optimally if parents pay anttention to opinions while providing opportunities for children to make and make decisions about the child’s goals and self-interest. The subjects studied consisted of 5 subjects consisting of father and mother who had children aged 9- 12 years. This study uses qualitative research methods, with data retrieval tools in teh form of interviews, observation and documentation. From the research found data were the subjects do not fulfill the right of participation of children up to the maximum ladder where children’s participation rights range from the first ladder to the third ladder. The first ladder to the third ladder is actually a non- participating ladder. This means that children is manipulated, dominated by parents, there is direct communation and the severity of the parent. The children felt disappointed, sad, and angry with the parents but they still tried to hear and obey the parent’s decision. Children from third and fourth subjects experienced excessive fear to speak to their parent (father). Suggestions for parents to be more caring and fulfill the rights of children’s participation so as not to affect the growth and development of children.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to describe the understanding and expectations of parents towards children with Intellectual Disability (ID). Children with ID have advantages, they have the potential to win, even at the level of world championships, such as the Special Olympics. However, there are still parents of children with ID who do not know their child's potential. They still wonder about what they can expect from children with ID. In addition, although parents of children with ID help their children in therapy, there are still some of them who do not fully understand the concept of ID. To find out aspects of understanding and expectations of parents of children with ID, the researchers conducted interviews with four parents (mothers) of children with ID. Researchers explored the understanding of parents (mothers) regarding what they know about the concept of ID. In addition, researchers also explored their expectations for their children with ID. This research used two questionnaires, namely the Parent’s Understanding of ID Scale and the Parental Expectations on ID Scale. The Parent's Understanding of ID Scale consists of 50 items, while the Parental Expectations on ID Scale consist of 10 items. These two scales were developed by researchers based on various literatures. Based on the interviews related to understanding ID, the results obtained: (a) parents stated that they lack information about ID, (b) parents began to know that their children have ID when their children were unable to speak at the age of 12 months, and (c) parents were told by doctor that if the child is unable to walk until the age of 18 months, it is one of the signs that the child has ID. Regarding the expectations toward children with ID, the results show that parents expect: (a) their children will not experience bullying in the community, (b) their children will easily find schools that are suitable for ID, and (c) parents can accompany their children, especially if they are outside.

The value of parent-to-parent support has been noted in research with parents of children who have a range of special needs and chronic medical conditions, however, less is known about the benefit of such mentorship for parents caring for seriously ill and dying children. Findings from a qualitative study with mothers of seriously ill children, including those whose children had died, provided rich and detailed information about the personal and practical resources they received from other parents. Personal recommendations to parents by parents included the value of seeking out mentorship and appreciating the small things in life, while practical suggestions encompassed encouraging parents to become informed and to advocate for their children's best interests. Mothers also identified professionals with end-of-life training as instrumental agents of support.

Full textAbstract:
The paper investigates whether or not parents influence their children’s choice for tertiary institution to attend. Education has increasingly become more important in this present age to the extent that, without higher qualifications, employment and success become very difficult to achieve. Parents are trying to send their children to tertiary institutions so that these children will be employable. But the question is: Do parents choose the tertiary institutions for their children? The paper wants to find out whether or not parents have a say in their children’s choice for tertiary institution; and if so, look at factors that could play in the choice. A survey was conducted at the University of Venda from February 2015 to June 2015 and 500 students were conveniently sampled and interviewed. Using some statistical analyses, including Generalized Linear Modelling (GLM), the study concludes that age and the campus environment are the only factors that determine parents’ influence on their children’s choice for higher education. The study further shows that female students are more influenced by their parents than males in the choice of higher institution.

Scholarship about child development has long made it clear that the parental role in the formation of their children is crucial and indispensable. The article says that while parents typically need help with this effort, those who help parents should work with them and not seek to supplant them.

Parent-to-parent support is an important component of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children. In this study, we asked parents of DHH children what advice they would give to new parents in their situation. Seventy-one hearing parents of DDH children living in Canada, Switzerland, France, and Belgium participated in interviews that included the following question: “What advice you would give to parents who just learned that their child is deaf?”. We performed a thematic analysis and developed three overarching themes, revolving around the importance of trust, the need for reassurance, and finally, the quest for help. The findings allow to better understand how parental expertise can be used to improve early intervention services for DHH children.

IntroductionIn Korean culture, co-sleeping of parents and children are quite common, which is different from the Western culture where solitary sleeping of children is preferred. In this study, we evaluate the sleep environment factors that effect on children sleep disorder, and parent's parenting stress and mental health.MethodsSurveys were conducted to 115 participating parents of preschool children sleeping behaviour lecture. Seventy-one completed surveys were analyzed for the study. The mean age of target children was 53 ± 23 months. Parents’ mental health was evaluated by using several forms such as Insomnia Severity Index, Korean-Parenting Stress Index short form, and The Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Children's sleeping environment and quality were assessed by Child Sleep Habit Questionnaire and Sleep environment survey.ResultsPearson correlation analysis (P < 0.05) was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the sleep disorder of children, and the parent's parenting stress and mental health. Analyzing the data through the partial least square path modeling, co-sharing would have negative effect; bed-sharing could have negative effect on the depressing emotion of parents (P = 0.065). Solitary sleeping of children could have positive effect on parent's mental health (P < 0.01).ConclusionPreschool children's sleeping disorder occurs more often in co-sleeping children with parents than solitary sleeping children. Parents’ parenting stress is related to the parent's age and depression, further related to the children sleeping disorder and their sleep environment. Although, it is difficult to generalize the exact cause, evaluation and improvement of children's sleep environment would help to reduce the parent's parenting stress.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
This paper illustrates the extent of how education background of parents could affect the relationship between children and parents. The inculcate in children is an essential factor that influences the relationship between children and parents. A strict education method may cause a harsh relationship between a child and his parents, while encouraging education is often beneficial for improving parent-child relationships. Children ‘ s education is decided by the education background of parents, as parents with different education backgrounds would educate child differently. Typically, parents who are well-educated perform better in educating children through a reasonable way. The data in this essay were collected through promoting questionnaires on social media, which uses parent-child sub-scale as the basic questionnaire. What’s more, other evidence from previous researches were also used as a reference to guarantee authenticity. This study assumes that high educated parents can build a better parent-child relationship. Correlation analysis shows that significant positive correlation exists between fathers education background and positive father-child relationship, which is also the same for mothers education background and positive mother-child relationship. Furthermore, non-parametric tests also justifies that the education background of a mother shows a significant positive father-child relationship. These all demonstrates the fact that the more educated the parents are, the better parent-child relationship will be.

The findings demonstrated a substantial difference between parent involvement of single family parents and joint family parents of children with special needs. However, joint family parents of children with special needs have a higher level of parental participation than single family parents of children with special needs. When we compare several areas of parental involvement, we find that joint family parents had better school, home, and parent-teacher relationships than nuclear family parents. The reason for this outcome could be that joint family parents provide greater safety, time, direction, family member support, social support, economic assistance, and emotional support than single family parents, according to the discussion following the study. Keywords: Children with special needs, family, parent involvement, single and joint family parent.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relation between the parents Cognitive Distortion and Arab children academic achievements in Israel. 52 fifth grade Arab Children and their parents from Israel were participated. The results indicated that parent's cognitive distortion related negatively to children academic achievements; there is a negative correlation between father's Cognitive distortion and children academic achievements and between mother's Cognitive distortion and children academic achievements. The current research concluded that Parent's Cognitive distortion has a greater relationship with children academic performance. The researchers recommend that appropriate measures, including cognitive mutual counseling program (parents and Children) should be put in place for the Children to achieve both their short-term and long-term educational goals.

This study examines factors that influence parent’s willingness to encourage their children to consider teaching as a career. Using structural equation modeling, we identified four factors that are highly predictive of a parent’s willingness to encourage their children to consider teaching and their belief that teaching would be their best career option. Results indicated that parents were more likely to encourage their children to become teachers when people outside the family had encouraged the children to teach, if the parents believed their child would be a good teacher, and if parents thought that expectations placed on teachers were reasonable. Results also showed, however, that when considering other professions, parents were much less likely to encourage their children to become teachers in favor of other professions.

Introduction: The present study investigated the parent’s knowledge, attitude, practice, and experience of the screen time spent by their children at home aged below 5 years old, identifying the common screen-based devices used, content type, and level of screen time spent by the children. Method: A cross-sectional survey of parents having children aged 0 to 4 years old attending the Maternal and Child Health Care Clinics in four districts in Brunei Darussalam was conducted. A questionnaire was developed through the Qualtrics platform. Data were analyzed using R Studio Desktop version 1.2.1335. The statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact test. Results: Parents’ knowledge, attitude, and practice of screen time spent by their children are generally positive; parents who correctly answered the knowledge section overall average of 30.1% (n=34). Children studied (<2 years old and 3 to 4 years old) were found to spend more time watching television. A statistically significant association was observed between children of both age groups with time spent on tablet device (p=0.037) and (p=<0.001). Also, a significant association between parents’ knowledge, attitude and practice with gender of the parents, household income and total number of children was reported. Conclusions: We conclude that the children in our study exceeded the recommended guidelines on screen time behavior and the parents’ health knowledge with regard to screen time was poor which emphasized the need for improvement and further study.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common pediatric bacterial ear infection, affecting up to 75% of children younger than 5 years. Despite the high incidence of AOM in children, the condition presents a number of challenges to parents. The objectives of this study were to describe parents’ experiences of taking care of a child with AOM and to identify their information needs to manage their child with AOM. Methods: A qualitative, descriptive design was used to gain insight into information needs of parents’ of children with AOM. Participants were recruited from a specialized pediatric emergency department in a major Canadian urban center (Edmonton, Alberta). Individual semi structured interviews were conducted with 16 parents. Results: Seven major themes were identified and described: (1) frequency of AOM, (2) symptoms of AOM experienced by children and parents, (3) AOM symptom management strategies used by parents, (4) parent’s beliefs about AOM, (5) parent’s satisfaction with treatment prescribed by physicians, (6) the effect of AOM on family’s quality of life, and (7) parent’s information needs about AOM. Findings indicate that AOM has considerable negative outcomes for both children and families and that parents would benefit from having more evidence-based resources. Conclusions: This study provides important information around parents’ experiences and information needs for pediatric AOM. Identifying parents’ information needs and developing innovative and communicatively responsive educational approaches for parents are warranted that reflect patient-centered nursing care.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Relationships with adult children play an important role in older adults’ well-being. However, little is known about the association between parent-child relations and aging parents’ sleep quality, which is an emerging health issue that is closely related to individuals’ physical and mental well-being in later life. With the largest aging population, China has experienced rapid changes of family structure and traditional norms regarding parent-child ties. This study focused on different dimensions of parent-child relationships (i.e., upward/downward financial and instrumental support, emotional closeness) in Chinese aging families. This study examined the association between parent-child relationships and older parents’ sleep quality, comparing one-child and multiple-children Chinese families. Utilizing the 2014 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Aging and Social Survey, we analyze data from 8,450 respondents (aged 60+) who had at least one living child. Descriptive analysis showed that parents with multiple children engaged in more intense financial exchanges, less frequent instrumental support, and lower levels of emotional closeness with their adult children compared to their counterparts with only one child. Logistic regression models revealed that older parents who received more instrumental support were more likely to report sleep difficulty in both one-child and multiple-children families. For parents with multiple children, the overall level of financial transfers from children was negatively associated with having sleep difficulties, while the variability of financial transfers across multiple children was positively associated with having sleep difficulty. Findings highlight the importance of considering family dynamics in studying sleep quality among Chinese older adults.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Communication between parents and their children about parental life-limiting illness is stressful. Parents want support from health-care professionals; however, the extent of this support is not known. Awareness of family’s needs would help ensure appropriate support. Aim: To find the current literature exploring (1) how parents with a life-limiting illness, who have dependent children, perceive health-care professionals’ communication with them about the illness, diagnosis and treatments, including how social, practical and emotional support is offered to them and (2) how this contributes to the parents’ feelings of supporting their children. Design: A systematic literature review and narrative synthesis. Data sources: Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and ASSIA ProQuest were searched in November 2015 for studies assessing communication between health-care professionals and parents about how to talk with their children about the parent’s illness. Results: There were 1342 records identified, five qualitative studies met the inclusion criteria (55 ill parents, 11 spouses/carers, 26 children and 16 health-care professionals). Parents wanted information from health-care professionals about how to talk to their children about the illness; this was not routinely offered. Children also want to talk with a health-care professional about their parents’ illness. Health-care professionals are concerned that conversations with parents and their children will be too difficult and time-consuming. Conclusion: Parents with a life-limiting illness want support from their health-care professionals about how to communicate with their children about the illness. Their children look to health-care professionals for information about their parent’s illness. Health-care professionals, have an important role but appear reluctant to address these concerns because of fears of insufficient time and expertise.

The quality of parent’s life is an essential component for the development of healthy atmosphere for the rehabilitation of children with sensory disabilities. The study attempted to evaluate quality of parent’s life having children with sensory disabilities. It is a descriptive study in nature. Population of study is parents of children with sensory disabilities living in Faisalabad. Sample of N=200 children with sensory disabilities (n=100 parents of visually impaired children and n=100 of parents of hearing impaired children) is selected through Convenient sampling technique. Parental age is 25-55 years and children age is among 6-15 years. Quality of life BREF is used as instrument of study. Data collected through instrument clearly demonstrated that parents who have children with sensory disabilities have low quality of life as 95% parents responded at neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. it is found out that there is no significant difference in the quality of life of the parents on the basis of gender (mother and father), age groups ( 26-55) and on the basis of category of disability of child. It is concluded that parents having children with sensory disabilities have low quality of life and their relation with the child, their age or category of the child’s disability does not influence parents differently so school administration should arrange workshops and seminars that bring positive wellbeing of the parents having children with sensory disabilities. On the basis of the findings of current study, it is strongly recommended that Parents should visit special schools of their children to keep in touch with the strengths and weaknesses of their child. And Governmental policies makers should bring in further legislation to support family in regard to healthcare for family members with a sensory disability.

Full textAbstract:
Educational cartoon is an animated cartoon for delivering learning with some humour, used for teaching children alphabets, numeracy, colours, drawing, English language and its vocabularies. It encourages reading among children and aim at developing skills in mathematics, sciences and other disciplines. Educational cartoon helps children relax and encourage flexible thinking and must be carefully selected, monitored and supervised by parents for the educational objectives to be achieved. The study investigated parental sources of educational cartoons and the guidelines parents set for children. The area of the study was Port Harcourt city. Descriptive survey design was adopted. The population consisted of 1,123,998 literate parents. The sample for the study was 300 parents. Questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Findings indicated that parents sourced educational cartoons from six out of ten listed sources such as: subscription to satellite cable stations, purchasing of cartoon in CD or DVD forms, local/terrestrial television stations, book shops, stationary vendors and computer games. Eight guidelines adopted in using educational cartoons were also identified. The study concludes that the sources of educational cartoon in the area are limited; also the guidelines parents apply in children's use of educational cartoons were limited. The study therefore, recommends that Government and institutions should see to the provision of different sources of educational cartoons.

This paper describes parents’ role in building mental spiritual, moral and intellectual children through approaches and methods. The presentation of this paper is based on the analysis of library data with a descriptive model. From the results of the discussion, it can be concluded that the role of parents is the first and foremost educator for children, because it is from them that children first get basic education. Thus the first education obtained by children is from family life. Parent’s failure to foster children's morals to make them virtuous will not occur if they carry out their function or role as parents responsible for children. The presence of parents is very influential on children. Because obedience to children's religious, moral, and intellectual teachings is a habit that children learn in their family environment, parents must set a good example for their children. So that children can imitate what their parents have done

AbstractHow do we motivate cooperation across the generations—between parents and children? Here we study voluntary climate action (VCA), which is costly to today’s decision-makers but essential to enable sustainable living for future generations. We predict that “offspring observability” is critical: parents will be more likely to invest in VCA when their own offspring observes their action, whereas when adults or genetically unrelated children observe them, the effect will be smaller. In a large-scale lab-in-the-field experiment, we observe a remarkable magnitude of VCA: parents invest 82% of their 69€ endowment into VCA, resulting in almost 14,000 real trees being planted. Parents’ VCA varies across conditions, with the largest treatment effect occurring when a parent’s own child is the observer. In subgroup analyses, we find that larger treatment effects occur among parents with a high school diploma. Moreover, VCA for parents who believe in climate change is most affected by the presence of their own child. In contrast, VCA of climate change skeptical parents is most influenced by the presence of children to whom they are not related. Our findings have implications for policy-makers interested in designing programs to encourage voluntary climate action and sustaining intergenerational public goods.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Illness uncertainty in parents of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to parents’ inability to create meaning in events related to their children having CAH. This may influence their role in caring for children with CAH. Objective: The study aimed to determine factors associated with illness uncertainty experienced by parents of children with CAH in a developing country. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 parents (43 mothers and 37 fathers) of children with CAH, selected using consecutive sampling methods. The Parent’s Perception of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS) was used to measure the illness uncertainty levels. Data were collected from March 2020 to October 2020. Independent t-test and chi-square test were used to determine factors (parent’s gender, age, educational level, monthly household income, number of children with CAH, history of child death due to CAH, child’s age when first diagnosed with CAH, duration of therapy, gender change, type of CAH (salt wasting/SW or simple virilizing/SV), current gender, and genitoplasty) influencing illness uncertainty in parents. Results: The mean scores of PPUS were 42.3 ± 12.91, and the majority of parents had a low PPUS score (49; 61%). Parents of children with SW-CAH showed higher uncertainty (44.2 ± 12.77) than those with SV-CAH (32.6 ± 8.86; p = 0.003). Parents who lost their children due to CAH were more likely to report a moderate illness uncertainty than parents who never experienced child mortality due to CAH (χ2(1, 80) = 4.893; p = 0.027). Conclusion: The factors significantly affecting uncertainty in parents of children with CAH determined in this study might help healthcare professionals, including nurses, to play a pivotal role in giving pertinent information regarding their children’s health, disease, and therapy to help manage parental uncertainty.

Parent training interventions are among the best-researched strategies to improve the adjustment of children within their families. In 2006, group-based parent training interventions were further promoted by the publication of guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the revised edition of Drawing on the Evidence (British Psychological Society, 2006). This guidance endorses parent training based on Social Learning Theory as an intervention to help children with conduct disorder. It provides helpful advice on the process of parent training that might also be applicable to training for foster and adoptive parents. Kim Golding explores the development of parent training for helping parents and carers of children living in foster care and adoptive homes. The difficulties that some of these children display are complex and enduring. Parent training programmes, as part of a package of care, may be a helpful intervention for children demonstrating challenging behaviours within the context of neurodevelopmental difficulties and poor early attachment experience.

Questions were based upon previous studies and involved six point Likért ratings. In general, attitudes toward sexuality were positive among parents and their adult children. However, adult children had significantly more positive attitudes than their parents. This difference was primarily due to more positive attitudes toward physical aspects of sexual behaviours. Overall, the disapproval and negative attitudes of adult children reported in previous research were not found in this study. Adult children had positive attitudes, much more positive attitudes than their parents, possibly due to a cohort effect

Background: Haematological malignancies are the most common cancer among the children in the age groupof 0-14 years. Leukemia is the most prevalent cancer among these children. The diagnosis of haematologicalmalignancy in a child is a frightening situation for the parents as well as the family, as they are the primarycaregivers of the children. The aim of the present study was to assess quality of life (QoL) among parents ofchildren with haematological malignancies.Methods: The cross-sectional pilot study included 30 parents of children between 0-14 years of age takingtreatment at the two tertiary cancer care centres of Kerala, India. The data regarding QoL was obtainedthrough Parents a validated Malayalam version of parent’s quality of life inventory (P-QLI). Descriptivestatistics was used to identify quality of life of the parents.Results: An equal distribution of fathers and mothers were maintained in the study ( 15 mothers and 15fathers). The average age of the parents was 26± 2 years (for mothers) and 34± 3 years (for the fathers).Majority (73.3%) of children had Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), and their mean age was 6±4 years.The statistical analysis showed that 33.3% of the parents had a poor quality of life after the diagnosis ofhaematological malignancy for their children. In addition, the mean QoL scores among the parents of childrenwith haematological malignancies were less thatn50% of the total score of the P-QLI .The haematologicalmalignancies among the children had a negative impact on physiological, psychological, social, vocational,economic, and spiritual dimensions of parent’s quality of life.Conclusions: This study showed that QoL measured by QLI-PCL in parents of children with haematologicalmalignancies were poor, and the present study put forward the need strengthening parent support servicesamong the parents of children with cancer.

Background: Parental self-efficacy (PSE) in parents of children with Down syndrome (DS) refers to parents’ efficacy in their capability as parents nurturing their children with DS. Therefore, this study aimed to determine factors that may influence PSE in parents of children with DS. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 87 parents of children with DS. Self-Efficacy Parenting Task Index (SEPTI) was administered to measure PSE levels. Spearman’s rank correlation and independent t-test were applied to determine factors that may influence PSE. These include gender, children’s age, duration of being diagnosed with DS, comorbidities, number of children in the family, parents’ age, educational level, monthly household income, place of residence, genetic counseling, and support group. Results: The results showed that the median scores of SEPTI were 114 (101-143), and 57.5% of parents had moderate PSE levels. Significant factors affecting PSE include children with comorbidities (r = - 0.197, p = 0.033) and the place of residence (r = -0.212, p = 0.024). Parents of children with fewer comorbidities (119 (109-128), p =0.034), those with higher education (118 (110-132), p = 0.031), and those living in urban areas (115 (101-143), p = 0.025) demonstrated higher PSE. Additionally, multiple linear regression analysis showed children’s comorbidity as the most significant predictor in PSE (PR= 0.17, 95% CI = 0.03 - 0.77, p = 0.020). Conclusions: Children with comorbidities affect self-efficacy in parents of children with DS, besides the level of parent’s education and the place of living identity.
