Maternal parenting styles, homework help, and children’s literacy development in language minority and Finnish-speaking families

2017

The aim of this study was to examine the role of mothers’ (language minority mothers, LM, n = 49, and Finnish-speaking mothers, MP, n = 368) parenting styles and maternal help with their children’s homework in the children’s (mean age 11.43 years) literacy skills at fourth grade in Finland. In addition, the moderating effect of a child’s gender on this relationship was investigated. The results showed that the LM mothers used psychological control more than MP mothers. Furthermore, the more LM mothers used warmth and psychological styles of parenting, the more they helped their daughters, not sons, with homework. MP mothers’ parenting styles did not relate to their children’s reading and sp…

Neuvolan perhetyö vanhemmuuden varhaisena tukena ja yhteistyönä

This model of family work was part of a national development project in social and health services in Finland designed to support the well-being of Finnish families with children and further develop family services. The overall purpose of this qualitative study was to describe and analyze parents' and family professionals' experiences of this new approach to family support and working in the project. Besides describing and analyzing these experiences, the aim of the study was to identify what kinds of controversies, or tensions, and cultur…

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN FAMILY ENVIRONMENT AND THE BULLYING PHENOMENON AMONG SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

2019

There is a lack of evidence about the possible role of the family environment in the occurrence of the bullying phenomenon among school-age children. We carried out a systematic review of the literature to investigate the positive and negative family determinants associated with the bullying phenomenon. Potential classes of determinants - e.g. interparental conflict and/or parenting behaviours - were studied by searching peer-reviewed literature published between the January 2008 and December 2018 on PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science. At the end of the eligibility process, only 3 studies met all the inclusion criteria, and were then included in the narrative synthesis. Mother de…

Tra madre e padre. Immagini di educazione familiare nel cinema degli anni Cinquanta

2017

Questo contributo propone un’analisi delle relazioni genitoriali poste in essere nelle famiglie italiane degli anni Cinquanta. Seguendo le suggestioni della recente Visual History, viene scelto il cinema come fonte cui attingere per ricostruire i rapporti tra madre e padre che, nel “decennio più lungo del secolo breve”, si avviavano ad una lenta ridefinizione. Il codice paterno, che il cinema neorealista descrive in tutta la sua problematicità, e il codice materno, che il melò consegna al pubblico nella sua ambiguità, sono descritti come due mondi separati che solo nel genere della commedia sembrano inaugurare una loro ricomposizione, se pur difficoltosa e solo abbozzata. Il modello offerto…

Relación entre características de resiliencia, estrés parental y satisfacción con la vida en familias con hijos con TDAH

2016

Abstract.This paper addresses two aims: a) to analyze differences in the stress of parents of children and adolescents with ADHD with high and low scores on success atributes related to resilience; b) to study the relationship between these success attributes and the level of success of life satisfaction of children in different domains. For this, 46 families completed the questionnaires of Assessment Attributes Success, the domain’s Father Parenting Stress Index and Life Satisfaction Scales. The statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences in the parenting stress of children with ADHD and low and high scores on the attributes of self-awareness, proactivity, perseverance and go…

Parenting Styles and Aggressive Adolescents: Relationships with Self-esteem and Personal Maladjustment

2019

ABSTRACT Current emergent studies are seriously questioning if parental strictness contributes to adolescent adjustment. This study examined whether the relationship between authoritative (warmth and strictness), authoritarian (strictness without warmth), indulgent (warmth without strictness), and neglectful (neither warmth nor strictness) parenting styles shows equal or different pattern of adjustment and maladjustment for aggressive and non-aggressive adolescents. The sample consisted of 969 Spanish adolescents, 554 females (57.2%) and 415 males, ranging from 12 to 17 years old. Families were classified into one of four typologies by their scores on warmth and strictness, and the adolesce…

Fathers’ narratives on support and agency : a case study of fathers in a Finnish child welfare NGO

2017

In Finland, one of the Nordic countries, shared parenting is widely supported through, e.g. family policies and legislation. This is also evident in daily parental practices, as fathers’ share in childcare has increased notably since the late 1980s. Unfortunately, this is not the whole picture of Finnish and Nordic fatherhood: practitioners in child welfare also encounter many fathers with various problems in parenting and life management. In this article, we examine the narratives of fathers who have sought and received support from a Finnish nationwide child welfare NGO. Our research question is: What types of narratives on seeking and receiving support and on their agency do fathers prod…

Data from: Transcriptomes of parents identify parenting strategies and sexual conflict in a subsocial beetle

2016

Parenting in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides is complex and, unusually, the sex and number of parents that can be present is flexible. Such flexibility is expected to involve specialized behaviour by the two sexes under biparental conditions. Here, we show that offspring fare equally well regardless of the sex or number of parents present. Comparing transcriptomes, we find a largely overlapping set of differentially expressed genes in both uniparental and biparental females and in uniparental males including vitellogenin, associated with reproduction, and takeout, influencing sex-specific mating and feeding behaviour. Gene expression in biparental males is similar to that in non…
