| dc.description.abstract | Children with developmental delays (DD) are significantly more likely to develop behavioral and psychiatric problems than children with typical development (Baker, Blacher, Crnic, & Edelbrock, 2002; Baker, McIntyre, Blacher, Crnic, Edelbrock, & Low, 2003). Raising a child with DD presents unique parenting demands related to their child’s needs (e.g. behavioral regulation, language, cognition, adaptive skills, etc.). Consequently, caregivers of children with DD are more likely than caregivers of children without DD to experience mental and physical health problems (Baker et al., 2003; Hastings, Daly, Burns, & Beck, 2006; Eisenhower, Baker, & Blacher, 2009). While a significant amount of literature has addressed the effects of parenting behaviors on the development of problem behaviors in typically developing children, less is known about how parenting behaviors affect the development of problem behaviors in children with DD. Furthermore, few of these studies have included both reported and observed measures of problem behavior in children. The present study examined parenting behaviors of 180 caregivers and their children with DD during a 15-minute observation with their children. Multiple regression analyses were conducted with various dimensions of caregiver’s parenting behaviors, in addition to both child and family characteristics to determine their associations between both observed and reported challenging behavior in children with DD. Results indicated that caregiver’s parenting behaviors are associated with observed challenging behavior in children, but not reported challenging behavior. The severity of problem behaviors was not found to moderate the relationship between parenting behaviors and children’s challenging behavior and when controlling for child problem behavior, caregiver’s stress and depression did predict parenting behaviors. The significance and limitations of these findings are discussed, as well as recommendations for future research and implications for practioners who are supporting caregivers’ parenting behavior with children with challenging behavior. | en_US |
