Children's perceptions of their parents' antisocial behavior may lead them to be antisocial
02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!A recent study to examine how antisocial behavior is transmitted across generations found that children's perceptions of their parents' behavior may be key in the development of these behaviors. Researchers looked at 430 adolescents and their biological parents across the child's high school years. The findings reflect that since parent behavior gives children a model for their own behavior, perceiving that a parent is antisocial may give a child permission to engage in similar behaviors.

- How parents react to material hardship found to be key to how income affects children
02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research drawing from the "Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999" challenges the accepted finding that family income is directly associated with parental stress. The study found that parents who make more money can better provide more cognitively stimulating materials, and that material hardship can lead to parental depression and conflict. These effects in turn may cause parents to show less affection towards children, who then may become depressed or misbehave.

- Children may benefit when mothers and fathers react differently to their negative emotions
09-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
New research suggests it might be beneficial to children if both parents don't react the same to the child's negative emotions. The findings are based on two studies of kindergarten and preschool children that assessed understanding of emotions and play and conflict with friends. Children who had one parent express less support than the other parent in response to anger and other negative emotions later had less conflict with friends.

- Early behavior problems appear to lead to peer rejection and friendlessness
07-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Rejection and lack of friends in elementary school has been linked to behavior problems in the early grades. Rejection and lack of friends did not put children at risk for delinquency, but early disruptiveness did. Researchers used reports of children’s level of anxiety and disruptiveness at ages 6 and 7, combined with measures of peer relationship several years later. These measures were then compared against depression, loneliness, and delinquency at ages 12 and 13.

- Close ties between parents and babies yield benefits for preschoolers
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
Close, mutually responsive relationships between parents and babies have been linked to more self-regulated behavior when children reach preschool age. Researchers observed 102 families over the first two years of their child's life to gauge if the parents and children had such responsive relationships. Children were then observed after age 4 to determine their response to mothers' requests not to do something and their ability to self-regulate -- measured by deliberation, restraint and maturity of impulses.

- Poor neighborhoods' influence on parents may raise preschool children's risk of problems
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
New research that examined the influence of poor neighborhoods on parents has linked parental factors to increased risk of verbal and behavioral problems in children. Living in poor neighborhoods was associated with poorer mental health in parents, poorer family relations, and less consistent and more punitive parenting. The study also found less neighborhood cohesion or mutual trust in poor neighborhoods, which were often associated in turn with parenting styles related to behavior problems in children.

- New research may lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis in families
09-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that first-degree relatives (i.e., parents, siblings, children) of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis are more likely to have the biomarker of the disease in their blood. Armed with this new information, physicians could screen and assess first-degree relatives of PBC patients with a simple blood test, enabling them to diagnose and treat more patients before the disease causes irreversible liver damage. These findings were published in this month's issue of Hepatology.
