Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to examine the parent-child relationships and peer functioning of community-identified, 4-year-old boys with hyperactive behaviour problems. The sample consisted of 33 pervasively hyperactive boys and 34 control children. Parenting and child behaviours, and family life factors were assessed at home using a range of measures including the Parental Account of Children's Symptoms Interview (PACS), the Parenting Scale, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and the Life Events Questionnaire. In addition, maternal directiveness and synchrony were coded from videotaped parent-child interaction during free play. Children's peer relations were assessed with teacher ratings on the Child Behavior Scale (CBS) and observer ratings of peer interactions at kindergarten. Results showed that parents of hyperactive boys used less effective parenting skills in disciplinary situations and in coping with child behaviour problems, and spent less time in positive parent-child interaction than comparison group parents. Mothers of hyperactive boys also engaged in fewer synchronous play interactions with their sons and gave more negative ratings on indices of life stress. Poor parent coping, father-child communication, maternal synchrony, negative disciplinary practices, and life stress were significantly associated with hyperactivity after adjusting for the effects of conduct problems. The best parenting predictor of hyperactivity was maternal coping. Compared with control children, the hyperactive boys received significantly higher ratings on exclusion by peers, aggressive, noncompliant, and non-social behaviours, as well as significantly lower ratings of prosocial behaviour and peer acceptance. These between-group differences in social functioning remained significant after statistical control for the effects of conduct problems. Further analysis suggested that the associations between hyperactivity and child social behaviours were partly or wholly explained by group differences in exposure to parenting behaviours that are important for children's social development. These findings highlight the need to examine more closely the role of parenting behaviours in shaping the course, prognosis and treatment outcomes in relation to the behavioural and social adjustment of preschool hyperactive children. The implications of these findings for early childhood intervention in hyperactive behaviour problems are discussed.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University
Despite evidence in the field of early childhood education that play has an important role in the lives of young children, child-initiated play is disappearing from preschool (Alliance for Childhood, 2009; Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, Berk & Singer, 2009; Singer, Golinkoff & Hirsh-Pasek, 2006; Singer, Singer, D'Agostino & DeLong, 2006). The National Research Council (2001) suggested that the departure of play from early childhood curricula could be due to the fact that play is not considered to have educational value. However, little is known about the value parents place on the role of play in their child's education. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate parents' value of play, learning, and development in preschool. The Parent Value of Preschool Activity (PVPA) survey was designed for this study to measure parents' values. The instrument development process utilized the feedback of identified experts who contributed to an expert review, and parents who participated in an understandability study. Evidence suggested that the PVPA survey is valid and reliable. The PVPA survey (n=94) and an interview protocol (n=6) were used to analyze the variance of parent values. Parents categorized all PVPA survey items as both play and learning and also categorized all items as cognitive. However, data suggested that although parents consider cognitive learning and development important in preschool, social learning and development is the most valued. Importantly, parents were found to have a rich understanding of the complex relationship between play, learning, and development and could therefore provide an influential voice in support of play in preschool. Evidence collected also revealed that there was a significant difference between mothers' value of play and fathers' value of play. More information could be provided to parents as to how play activities and experiences are integrated into children's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional learning and development. Finally, the field of early childhood education should recognize that parents highly value play, learning, and development in preschool and should therefore provide another voice to support that play has a prominent place in early childhood curricula.

Abstract:
Technology plays an increasingly significant role in the lives of children and adults, and it is imperative to understand if and how it impacts the development of psychological processes and the subsequent behaviors of preschool-aged children so that we can better understand how to navigate guidelines for use and interventions for overuse. To better understand the relationship between screen time use and a child’s social emotional development, it is important to consider parent time on screens, child time on screens, and any effects an older sibling in the home or parental gender may have on their development. This study gathered screen time usage rates from parents and their preschool-aged children and then measured the social emotional development of these children using an electronic version of the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Preschoolers, Second Edition (eDECA-2). Results were analyzed using sequential regression models and found child and parent screen time usage to be negatively associated with the social emotional development of the child. There were no moderating effects of the presence of an older sibling in the home. There were only moderating effects for parental gender when considering primary parents, which showed that when a male is a primary parent, increased parental and child screen time leads to a steeper decrease in behavioral concerns than when the primary parent is female. Additionally, categories of screen time usage were analyzed using multiple analyses of variance and showed that parents who used tool-based applications rated their children with higher levels of social emotional development. Results that analyzed the child’s categories of use did not show delineated differences between tool-based and non-tool-based applications.

Abstract:
Toy sharing and sibling interaction are major contexts for young children's developing social skills. This study examined the effects of parenting on sharing between siblings, and the effectiveness of a 5-session parenting programme in promoting sharing. Forty-eight mothers with two preschoolers participated. Each family was assessed before and after the parenting programme and at a 6-week follow-up. The mother completed measures of her parenting approach and reported on her children's behavior. The children were interviewed to obtain cognitive measures. Interactions of the mother and two children were observed in a laboratory playroom. Fathers and preschool teachers also reported on the children's behavior. Two parts of the study used data collected at the first assessment. First, multivariate analyses showed significant correlations between mother behaviors and those of the children, and between the two children. Second, the immediate effects of parenting on children's sharing were explored by manipulating the mother's activities. Children exhibited more appropriate sharing when the mother was free to interact with them than when she was busy with paperwork. The third part of the study examined the effects of two formats of a parent-training programme on sibling sharing. Families were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: individual programme, group programme, or waiting-list control. The programme provided parents with information about the development of sharing and sibling relationships and taught behavioral parenting techniques to use in promoting the development of child sharing skills. Positive effects of the sharing programme on siblings' sharing-related behavior were clearly demonstrated. These effects were seen to generalize across informants and across behaviors, but not across informants and behaviors combined. Treatment effects were maintained over a follow-up period. Although mothers demonstrated increased knowledge of the content covered by the programme and rated it highly, they did not demonstrate or report significant changes in their own parenting approach on the original measures. Mixed results were obtained concerning the two treatment formats. For observations of child behavior, only the individual format showed superiority over the control condition. The two formats did not differ in treatment effects found on most questionnaire measures. Mothers' reports of decreased behavior problems among younger children and a few tentative findings from child interview measures suggested superiority of the group format. Overall, this study demonstrated both strong relationships between the sharing-related behavior of children, and correlational and causal relationships between mother behavior and sibling sharing. A parent-training intervention was demonstrated to have positive effects on children's sharing behaviors, and these effects generalized over situations, behaviors and time.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if the Gearing Up for Kindergarten program created a significant impact on parent understanding of children's development and aspects of school readiness. Parent perceptions of their child's readiness to make the transition to school were also assessed. The study also measured the Gearing Up for Kindergarten impact on children's scores on selected academic measures. A selected sample of 75 parents were surveyed with pre, post, and post post program assessments using the Practical Parent Assessment of School Readiness survey. The survey used Likert scale measures to assess parent perceptions of readiness in the 5 domains of child development: Approaches to learning, Social and emotional development, Physical well-being and motor development, Language development, and Cognition and general knowledge. The survey found significant differences between the treatment and control group on selected measures of the social and emotional scales. The survey also measured parent perceptions of their child's readiness for the transition to school and found no significant difference between treatment and control groups. The AIMS Web children's assessment measured children's academic knowledge with three one minute tests: letter identification, number identification, and oral counting. This assessment compared children's scores using an ANOVA and found no significant differences in children's scores between treatment and control groups.

Abstract:
Several researchers have begun to investigate early intervention and prevention programs, seeking to alter the trajectory of early-onset behavior problems. While it appears that multi-modal programs are the most promising approach, researchers have only recently begun to evaluate programs that use a similar treatment approach across settings and there is currently little information about classroom-based treatments for disruptive behaviors among preschoolers. The purpose of this study was to develop a classroom-based intervention based on the Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) model developed by Eyberg. In addition, this study provides an initial investigation of the efficacy of this program with an emphasis on evaluating changes in teacher behavior and treatment acceptability. The intervention was provided to a group of 26 teachers from 13 Head Start classrooms. Results indicated minimal changes in observed teaching behavior and no significant changes in teachers' self-efficacy. Although the intervention was rated as being acceptable by teachers overall, ratings were somewhat lower for sessions dealing with child-directed activities; teacher comments indicated that this component was difficult to implement in the classroom. Observations of child behavior indicated reductions in both prosocial and disruptive behaviors. Teacher-completed rating scales indicated statistically significant reductions in disruptive child behaviors and child behavior problems, although the magnitude of these changes was generally small. The implications of these findings will be discussed and modifications will be proposed for increasing the effectiveness and acceptability of this intervention.

Abstract:
Recent research evidence, primarily from the Western hemisphere, supports the belief that high quality preschool experience has long-lasting effects on the development of children's later lives (Ball, RSA Start Right Report, 1994; Bruner, 1980; Schweinhart, Barnes & Weikart, 1993; Sylva, 1993). The important questions posed for this investigation in Bahrain were: 1. Is attendance at preschool centres (educationally and care orientated) associated with higher scores on measures of child development when compared to a control group of children who remained at home? 2. Is attendance at educationally-orientated preschool associated with higher scores on developmental measures than attendance at care-orientated preschool? 3. Are educationally-orientated pre-schools providing 'a more favourable' environment when compared with care-orientated p re-schools? The method was a quasi-experimental design utilising pre and post measures over one academic school year period, 1992-1993 (approximately nine months). A total of eight preschool institutions were randomly (stratified sample) selected (four educationally-orientated centres and four care-orientated centres) from four catchment areas covering the entire island of Bahrain. Each area was represented by a sample of 35 children (matched on several background variables) from the two types of preschool orientations and the home group (N=140; 48 in educational group; 48 in care group; 44 in home group). A Family Background Questionnaire (FBQ) was applied on the total sample to measure differences between groups on several family characteristics, such as, parent's education, occupations, household structure, number of children in household, provisions for play and learning at home, parent childrearing attitudes and mother's expectations regarding the child's competence and behaviour. 111 Assessments were made of children's cognitive, social and emotional development: the Stanford-Binet: LIM Form (Terman & Merrill, 1960); the Arithmetic and Block Design Subtests from Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence: (Wechsler, 1963); the Draw-A-Person: (Harris, 1963); The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children: (Harter, 1983) and The Preschool Behaviour Checklist: (Richman & McGuire, 1982). All instruments were translated into Arabic, back-translated (Brislin, Lonner, Thomdike, 1973) and pilot tested for cultural acceptability. For the main study (N=140), the 96 preschool attenders were tested soon after school entry (October, 1992) and then again at school year end in June, 1993, while the 44 children serving as the control group were tested in their homes. All testing was carried out in the children's home language. Additionally, two assessments procedures were used for studying the preschool environments: the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (Harms & Clifford, 1980); and the Target Child Observation Instrument (Sylva, Roy & Painter, 1980). The results indicated that attendance at preschool centres (care and educationally-orientated) was associated with higher performance on most aspects of development when compared with children who stayed at home. There were significant gains on measures of cognitive development (Stanford- Binet; WPPSI; Draw-A-Person); social competence measures, Perceived Competence; and behavioural/emotional stability for preschool attenders when compared to home children. Multiple regression analyses showed that children in centre-based programmes made significant improvement over the year interval between pre-and post testing: A further within-groups regression analysis revealed that no particular preschool within either group was accounting for the higher/lower scores. Children attending educationally-orientated pre-schools significantly outperformed children at care-orientated pre-schools and at home on all the measures of development and they made significant improvement over the tested time period (Stanford-Binet: p<.001; WPPSI Subtests, Arithmetic and Block Design: p<.001; Draw-A-Person: p<.001; Preschool Behaviour Checklist: p<.001; Harters Perceived Competence (Cognitive and Physical Competence) and Acceptance Scale (Peer and Maternal Acceptance): p<.00l. When comparing preschool environments (care and educational) it was found that the educationally-orientated settings offered a greater degree of attention to iv personal care, language/reasoning experiences and the opportunity for creative and social development when compared with the care orientated pre-schools (ECERS, p<.O1). Teachers at the educational centres were more inclined to support, question and have dialogue with the children when compared to teachers at the care centres. Children at care centres engaged more in adultdirected activities, spent less time in challenging tasks for shorter periods of time (concentration bouts) and had more dialogue with other children when compared with children at educationally-orientated preschools (Target Child Time Sampling). Implications of this research for preschool educators in Bahrain are discussed as well as varying definitions of 'quality.'

Abstract:
Children exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) are at risk of developing ear infections, asthma, wheezing, bronchitis, as well as retarded lung growth. Indoor smoking is the main source of children's exposure to SHS. Despite a downward trend in smoking, children from low income families, especially African American and Hispanic children, continue to be exposed to SHS at a higher rate than their wealthier counterparts. This multiple case study explored the perceptions of 15 parents of 3- to 5-year-old children currently enrolled in Head Start regarding children's exposure to SHS. This study relied on the social ecological model, the theory of reasoned action, and harm reduction for understanding the views of parents and protective behaviors aimed at eliminating children's exposure to SHS in their homes. Data were obtained from semistructured individual interviews and document reviews. Data were analyzed inductively through coding to develop themes and thick rich descriptions of each case and a composite of all cases. Although participants were aware that SHS poses serious threats to the health of children, overall, they lacked knowledge of SHS exposure. They also exhibited a lack of awareness of specific illnesses associated with children's exposure to SHS. Findings from this study might help improve parents' understanding of the health risks associated with exposing children to SHS and possibly help reduce the exposure of Head Start children to SHS through the use of contextualized interventions within the Head Start community.

Abstract:
Accurate assessment is the foundation on which effective nursing interventions rest. However, it is not known how accurately nurses identify and prioritize the needs of parents whose children have chronic conditions. When nurses proceed with interventions based on inaccurate assessments, the results can be unsuccessful interventions that neither meet parental needs nor provide optimal health care for this population of children. This descriptive comparative study was conducted to 1) examine parental needs identified and prioritized by parents of children with chronic conditions and their respective nurse care-givers, and 2) identify similarities and differences between the two groups. Patterns that evolved from these similarities and differences provide us with information related to where nurses have expertise or difficulty identifying and prioritizing the needs of parents. Kleinman's (1978) health care systems theory, which supports the premise that health care professionals and clients perceive health care episodes differently, provided the conceptual framework for this study. Study participants included 38 parents and 13 nurses who were affiliated with ten ambulatory programs in a Western Canadian pediatric hospital. Both groups completed the modified Family Needs Survey (Bailey & Simeonsson, 1988b) and socio-demographic tool developed by this investigator. Responses to the 35-item scale of the Family Needs Survey were described and ranked, in addition to being analyzed using inferential parametric statistics to determine differences between parents' and nurses' identification of parental needs. Responses to the open-ended question on the Survey were described and ranked. Research findings revealed some similarities and a number of striking differences between the responses of parents and nurses. On the 35-item scale, parents and nurses agreed that five parental needs were 1) information about current research, future services and treatments, 2) help locating competent regular or respite care providers, 3) reading material about other parents with a similar child, 4) opportunity to meet and talk with other parents, with a similar child, and 5) more time for self, spouse and other children. Both groups were consistent in their ranking of the first two needs as the most important needs in the information and community services subscales, respectively. However, nurses had generally higher responses on all subscales and identified eight more parental needs than did parents which were related to information, support, and family functioning. Parents and nurses repeated most of the above needs on the open-ended question, although nurses indicated that parents also had a number of needs related to psychosocial issues and family functioning. Nurses ranked counselling (child's condition, treatment, stress management) as the primary support need. Further, both groups differed in their prioritization of parental needs on the open-ended question. Where parents ranked information, community services, and support needs as the most important, nurses ranked support, information, and community services. The implications of these research findings for nursing practice and education are discussed and recommendations for future research are presented.

Abstract:
The Swedish preschool curriculum and policies place a heavy emphasis on establishing and maintaining long-lasting relationships between the preschool and the home. This engagement between home and preschool is considered central for child well-being and healthy development of the child. The central target of inquiry in this study was thus to investigate the child-, parent and teacher’s understanding of what parent engagement in Swedish preschools is, with particular emphasis on the child’s perspective. The importance of understanding children’s learning as embedded in the social, cultural and family contexts in which it occurs contributes to the overall consensus that children will, in a well-being-, development- and learning perspective, do better with parents who are actively engaged in their children’s pedagogical life. Thus, designing pathways in order to develop the communication between home and preschool is considered a significant factor in children’s developmental outcomes. Against this background, the thesis took its point of departure in the perspective of the child and applied the theoretical framework of the Bronfenbrenner Ecological Systems Theory focusing on the interaction between the developing child and the parent and teacher in the preschool context. The study assumed a transformative worldview and a narrative design was applied in order to determine how the participants, specifically the child, personally experience parent engagement. Narratives were collected through interviews, then assembled into a case-study highlighting the interconnectedness of the stories through a thematic analysis. Through identifying harmonies and contradictions in the stories, the thesis has investigated the construct of the child’s-, the parent’s- and the preschool teacher’s understanding of parent engagement in the Swedish preschool. From that perspective the thesis has identified where their stories align and where they contradict, thus broadening the academic debate in regard to how parents and teachers can better prepare themselves for the dialogues within the micro-societies that their children’s immediate world consists of

This study has aimed at the Learning Potential Assessment of Parent-Child Interactions to improve the language ability and mathematics ability of immigrant and native mothers from Southeast Asia and furthermore to analyze any development in the parent-child interactions and cognitive function for preschool children between native and immigrant mothers from Southeast Asia. The study used purposive sampling method to obtain 12 parent-child pairs of Kaoping regional Southeast Asian women and preschool children as experimental Group I, and 12 parent-child pairs of native women of similar educational and socio-economical status and their preschool children as Group II. All 24 pairs of parent-child have been tested on language and mathematics modules for the learning potential assessment of parent-child interactions. Experimental Group I and II have undergone Pretest-Mediated Learning -Posttest procedures. During the pretests and post tests, the children have given preschool children language ability test, preschool child language disorder assessment, and children mathematics ability test and the behaviors of parent-child were observed during these activities. In the mediated learning procedure, the mothers of the experimental groups were requested to apply spontaneous strategies to guide children to solve the MLE tasks of language and mathematics modules, and the behaviors of parent-child interaction of the learning context were observed. The data colleted from the subjects of two control groups of the previous study (Jiang, 2004) were adopted by this study. The children of the control groups had received four tests as pretest and posttest without mediating learning procedure and observation of the parent-child interactions. The pretest and posttest have been tested with the Three-Factor Mixed Design variance analyses, categorized the learning context of experimental group, the visual data of mediated learning context and spontaneous strategies of mothers with the reaction types and cognitive functions. The study findings from the frequency and percentage have indicated that: 1. The improving factor of native and immigrant mothers Native and immigrant mothers have improved after Learning Potential Assessment Device (LPAD), but the results were not differed from different family types. They all scored well on preschool children language ability test, the language comprehension and verbal expression within preschool child disorder assessment tests, and preschool mathematics ability test and children mathematics tests. 2. The development of parent-child interactions of immigrant and native mothers In language learning module context, immigrant and native mothers were intentionality, reciprocity and meaning strategies where native mothers were prone to have diversities. Meanwhile, both groups of children were responsive and obedient; the main children reactions of immigrant mothers were exploratory, and their resistant, passive and diversionary reactions decreased, but native children scored slightly higher in direct and request reactions. In mathematics learning module context, both parents used intentionality, reciprocity and meaning strategies; where immigrant mothers had less strategically changes and expressed more self-modifying and negative strategies. Meanwhile, both groups of children were responsive and obedient in nature. But children of immigrant mothers exhibited more direct requests, explorative, resistant and passive and diversionary reactions than native children. 3. The cognitive functional changes in children of immigrant and native mothers In language learning module context, different maternal living regions would affect the mother tongues of children and the interactions were influence by family, parental personality and the children’s own reactions. Native parents provided more systematic and pattern teaching; whereas immigrant mothers had significant intonation and accent problems, despite, they were competent in language comprehension, semantics, syntax, and social usages. Through language learning module activities, both groups of parents improved in linguistic expression and were better in directing children’s language learning activities. At the same time, both groups of children have enriched their language comprehension, communication, semantics, syntax and social cues. In mathematics learning module context, the basic mathematics abilities were indifferent in both parental groups and the mathematics learning methods were similar in their teaching styles. Both groups of children demonstrated equally acquisition in numbers counting, memorizations, and amount of numbers. Native children performed better in number order, doing sums, recognition of numerical symbols, decimal system, or even mental calculation. The study has explored the effect of LPAD of parent-child interactions to propose education for immigrant and native mothers based on the researched results, and hence providing reference on the Learning Potential Assessment Device for their children.

Research on the Relationship between Parent-Child Co-Learning and Parent- Child Communication Hsu Sho Juan Abstract   The Research is for studying the relationship between parent-child co-learning and parent-child communication. There are three main purposes in this research: Finding the reality of parent-child co- learning and parent-child communication, study the relationship between parent-child co-learning and parent-child communication and provide practical suggestions based on the findings of the research for the reference in conducting parent-child co-learning and parent-child communication. In this research, we targeted at the children and parents of public and private kindergarten in Kaohsiung County and Kaohsiung City. 1000 questionnaire were issued for the questionnaire survey and for interview, which 824 effective copies received, with recovering rate of 82.4%. The main tools for the research are: Parent-Child Co-Learning Scale and Parent-Child Communication as compiled by the researcher. From the research and the results, we have concluded as the following: in Parent-Child co-Learning, the Atmosphere of Parent-Child co-Learning scored the highest, and sex, inhabiting area and education background have significant difference in Parent-Child co-Learning. In the type of Parent-Child Co-Learning, Parent-Child Co-Learning Atmosphere, Effectiveness of Parent-Child Learning and Length of Parent-Child Co-Learning reached significant difference. In Parent-Child Communication, Open Parent-Child Communication Aspects scored the highest. Age, type of Parent Child Co-Learning and different level of Parent-Child Co-Learning are having significant differences in Parent-Child Communication. Parent-Child Co-Leaning type and level of education background have significant difference in the problematic parent-child communication and Parent-Child Co-Learning has significant correlation with Parent-Child Communication. Our suggestions based on the conclusion are: Schools shall promote Parent-Child Co-Learning, encourage male parent to participate in Parent-Child Learning to enforce the attachment with children. The parents under 25 years old shall be improved with the ability of parent-child communication and the parents with education background below junior college shall be encouraged to adopt open communication skill. Aggressive Instruction shall be well applied to improve the ill parent-child communication. Provide further suggestion for further study.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to explore parents' socialization goals and to describe the patterns of caregiver-child social interaction for the sample of 6 Chinese American toddlers, whose parents immigrated to this country recently. The theoretical framework for the study was Vygotsky's sociocultural approach which assumes that children's thinking derives from human social relations and is embedded in the sociocultural context. The study used a qualitative method of data collection and analysis. Data collection included a demographic questionnaire, two focused interviews and videotaped observations of caregiver-child interactions in everyday activities and joint play. The analysis focused on how caregivers guided and facilitated children's learning and adaptation to life in a North American setting. Parental goals were identified and five themes immerged from the interview data: a focus on learning; an emphasis on developing a loving relationship with the child; an emphasis on bringing up a moral child; an emphasis on guided independence and on adopting the values of the host culture while maintaining the values of their own cultural heritage. Links between the patterns of parent-child interaction and the parental goals were explored. The parents' conscious, creative synthesis of cultural values and practice were discussed. Implication for teachers and clinicians were suggested.

As a qualitative case study, the purpose of the study is to understand the development process of parent-child reading group, the factors of its sustainable development up to now, and the impact on the members. Through field observation, recording and reflection, a semi-structured interview was conducted with five research participants, supplemented by the collection of relevant documents and materials of the parent-child reading group of the kindergarten. The research results are as follows: 1. The process and sustainable development of the green light parent-child reading group: First, continue the spirit of small and big reading group. Second, "parents' willingness to participate" affects the operation of the group. Third, "the consistency of members' ideas and values" is the core of the reading group. Fourth children, parents and preschool form a positive cycle of reading group operation. Last, "members' emotional connection" is word-of-mouth marketing for the study group. 2. It can be found from the members of parent-child reading group that: For participating teachers part. First, share the joy of picture books. Second, the story of the obsession and the ability to improvise. Third, to see the growth of children. For participating parents part. First, recognize the importance of parent-child reading. Second, enhance parent-child interaction. Last, inspire and cultivate children's different ability. Finally, the following suggestion is provided: 1. It is suggested that public and private preschool should organize parent-child reading group. 2. In the process of reading, there should be definite participation mechanism and norms. 3. Responsibilities of participating parents should be clearly assigned. 4. It is suggested to increase the number of study subjects in different periods to further study the influence of parent-child reading clubs on teachers and parents.

This study aimed at understanding early school-age children’s observational learning of their mothers’ eating behaviors, and the characteristics of meal time mother-child interactions while dining with their mothers. Based on the structural-nonparticipant observational records of interactions between 4 pairs of early school-age children and their mothers during the meal, we recorded both the mothers’ and children’s eating behaviors, eating times, and analyzed mother-child interactions. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc comparisons, correlation analysis, two-way ANOVA, and conditional probability. The results were as follow: (1)Children ate faster and the likelihood of mimicking their mothers’ food intake was significantly higher during the first ten minutes of the interaction and decreased over time. However, the overall eating rate between mothers and children during the meal was not strongly correlated. (2)Mothers of the early school-age children still led the mother-child interactions actively during the meal. The characteristic of mothers’ child-rearing behaviors were role reversal over time, mothers dealing with children’s behaviors by means of both soft and hard ways, and persistence to the end. (3)The characteristics of children's behaviors in reaction to their mothers’ child-rearing behaviors were having courage to express themselves, ignoring mothers’ nagging, and preventing punishment. (4)Features of the immediate sequential interactions between mothers' child-rearing behaviors and children's reactions were positive mothers’ behaviors led to positive children’s reactions, and they were constrict by each other. Finally, the study made recommendations based on the results as future reference for parenting specialists, education workers, and researchers in their area of eating behaviors.

The objective of the study was to explore the effects of parent-child co-learning on pupils’ learning motivation and paren-child relationship in an English cram school. In this study, the questionaires were implemented by the general survey to find out the change of the students’ learning motivation and paren-child relationship by means of parent-child co-learning. A total of 231 valid questionnaires of the pretest were adopted. Nevertheless, the valid questionnaries of the posttest amounted to 226 sincefew of the students hadn’t registered during the study period. The data was precessed and analyzed through descriptive statistics. Moreover, eighteen parents were chosen to interview according to their children’s academic performance with a low, medium, or high level in all grades. The data from the interview was used to compare with the quantitative data. The results of the study reveal that the students with different background have dissimiliar performance on parent-child co-learning. The girls spend more time learning with their parents than the boys. Compare with pretest and posttest, boys have an increasing frequency of learning with their parents in a week. The first and the second graders spend more time on studies with their parents than the other graders. The parents of graduate school or upward educational background spend the most time learning with their children. After parent-child co-learning in the cram school, the students have higher motivation and maintain a harmonious parent-child relationship. However, The followings are some problems to deal with while implementing parent-child co-learning. Parents don’t know how to learn with their children or they are always busy working. Some parents even think their English ability is not good enough to help their children. In addition, some students are not willing to work with their parents. Insufficient publicity also make parent-child co-learning more difficult. From the results of the study, the crams schools which would like to implement parent-child co-learning are suggested to do the followings. First, try to be actively involved in publicizing, develop some parent-child co-learning classes, hold some forums with parents. Then, it is better for the parents to make it a habit to learn with their children in diversified ways. Parents are suggested to encourage and praise their children instead of blaming during parent-child co-learning.

Abstract:
Emotion language use provides insight into a person's emotional landscape. However, little is known about how preschool aged children and their parents use emotion language in their real world interactions. To address the shortcomings of the current body of empirical work on naturally occurring emotion language, this dissertation asks the following four research questions: 1) How do children and parents use emotion words in their daily lives?; 2) How is children's emotion language related to parents' emotion language?; 3) How is emotion language use related to emotional functioning?; and 4) How does emotion language in a lab setting compare to a natural setting? This dissertation implements a naturalistic methodology tool to answer the above questions. Thirty-five preschool aged children and their parents were recruited to participate in a two-wave longitudinal study in which the children wore a digital recording device for one day at each of the time points to capture acoustic information about the emotion language and behaviors they and their parents use in their daily lives. Additionally, participants completed a traditional laboratory based paradigm used to study emotion language within families. Parents also completed self-report measures related to emotion functioning for themselves and their child. Results indicate that children and their parents use high rates of positive emotion but very low rates of negative emotion in their naturally occurring interactions. This is different from lab based paradigms that elicit high rates of both positive and negative emotion language from children and parents. Next, children's use of emotion words tends to match the emotion language of their mothers more than their fathers but gender of the child also plays an important role. Very little support emerged for the emotion regulation model, as evidenced by children who cry and whine the most and who have the most behavioral problems tending to use negative emotions the most. The preponderance of the evidence suggests that emotion language reflects emotional state rather than regulates it. And, finally, the ecological validity of laboratory studies of emotion word usage is called into question by the independence of emotion language elicited in the lab and the natural expression of emotion words in a natural setting. Implications for researchers conducting work in the area of emotion language and emotional development are discussed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which parents and professionals were in agreement prior to and following intervention regarding their Judgement of the gross motor abilities of the parents' preschool children. Each child was tested by a professional on the Ulrich Test of Gross Motor Development (1985). Dependent measures were parents' perceptions (N = 28 pairs) of their children's gross motor abilities. Parents were randomly assigned to either an intervention (treatment) or non-intervention (control) group. The intervention period included two-ninety minute videotaped observational training sessions, on how to observe gross motor patterns in a young child, over a two-week period. At the conclusion of the intervention period, all parents completed a questionnaire similar to one completed prior to intervention. Both questionnaires provided information on parents' perceptions of their children's gross motor abilities. Paired-t tests were used to determine if significant differences existed between parents and professionals prior to intervention. Paired-t tests were also used following observational training intervention to analyze any changes over time between the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods for intervention and nonintervention parents. Student-t tests were used to compare post-intervention differences between intervention parents and nonintervention parents. An alpha level of .10 was used in this study. The results of the study revealed a significant difference between parents' perceptions and professional assessments. Most parents tended to overestimate their children's gross motor abilities relative to the professional standard. Significant differences were reported for changes occurring over time between the pre-intervention and post-intervention periods. Significant differences also were found between groups following intervention. Parents receiving observational training demonstrated more realistic perceptions of their children's gross motor abilities relative to professional assessments than did parents not receiving observational training. As a result of these investigations, it was determined that parents and professionals were generally not in agreement with respect to children's current level of functioning in gross motor abilities. Parents, as previous literature has described, also tended to overestimate their children's abilities. Furthermore, the introduction of an intervention program, which trained parents to become better evaluators of motor ability, resulted in positively influencing parents' perceptions of their children's gross motor abilities.
