  • Title: Fathers' and mothers' parenting behavior and beliefs as predictors of children's social adjustment in the transition to school.
    Author: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Early Child Care Research Network.
    Journal: J Fam Psychol; 2004 Dec; 18(4):628-38. PubMed ID: 15598168.
    Abstract:
    The current study focuses on the association between children's social adjustment in the transition to school and the early elementary school years and their fathers' and mothers' parenting behaviors and beliefs and quality of marital relationship. The authors found that the most competent and least problematic children from the teachers' perspectives are those whose fathers are sensitive and supportive of their children's autonomy, whose mothers' parenting beliefs support self-directed child behavior, and whose parents maintain an emotionally intimate relationship. These findings have implications for efforts to prevent early school problems in children and support the children's transitions into formal schooling.
