  • Title: Parenting and the behavior problems of young children with an intellectual disability: concurrent and longitudinal relationships in a population-based study.
    Author: Totsika V, Hastings RP, Vagenas D, Emerson E.
    Journal: Am J Intellect Dev Disabil; 2014 Sep; 119(5):422-35. PubMed ID: 25148056.
    Abstract:
    We examined parenting behaviors, and their association with concurrent and later child behavior problems. Children with an intellectual disability (ID) were identified from a UK birth cohort (N  =  516 at age 5). Compared to parents of children without an ID, parents of children with an ID used discipline less frequently, but reported a more negative relationship with their child. Among children with an ID, discipline, and home atmosphere had no long-term association with behavior problems, whereas relationship quality did: closer relationships were associated with fewer concurrent and later child behavior problems. Increased parent-child conflict was associated with greater concurrent and later behavior problems. Parenting programs in ID could target parent-child relationship quality as a potential mediator of behavioral improvements in children.
