In 1986, Olds et al published the results of a rigorous trial showing that nurse home visitation extending
from pregnancy to the
child's second birthday can produce positive effects on maternal and
child health
among disadvantaged families.1, 2 The study was conducted in a semirural area and involved predominantly white women.
Especially
among families with high levels of socio - economic
disadvantage or
family adversity,
children's relations with both parents might benefit
from greater
family access to professional parenting support.
In the present study, parenting stress,
family conflict, and
child difficult temperament are examined as predictors of maternal harsh discipline
among a group of 58 mothers
from socioeconomically
disadvantaged backgrounds and their young
children between the ages of 1 - to 4 - years - old.
