It may be due to the fact that fathers discuss
emotions with their children less than mothers, and perhaps socialize children's emotional development by another way, namely their reactions to children's emotions (Mazzone & Nader - Grosbois, 2016; McElwain et al., 2007).

less mature than their typical peers and may reflect
less understanding of how to manage their own
emotions.
Moreover, there were trends for differences between the 2 groups,
with COPE mothers reporting 1)
less total stress after transfer to the general pediatric unit, 2)
less stress regarding their
children's medical procedures and their
children's behaviors and
emotions, 3)

Ability to identify infants»
emotions was disrupted in BPD mothers of
children aged 3 — 14 months.26 Compared
with healthy controls, mothers
with BPD were
less accurate at identifying
emotions in photographs of their own and unfamiliar
children.
The factors that identify families where alienation is
less likely are: abundant positive contact between both parents and the
children; sibling groups who all have good relations
with both parents, good relations of the
children with family and friends of both parents: free communication to the
child by others of the good qualities of both parents: lack of defensiveness on the part of each parent as to the
emotions, statements and criticisms of the other: ability of each parent to discuss schedules and parenting concerns
with the other parent: ability of each parent to accommodate the schedules and desires of the other.
Children of mothers
with BPD struggled to identify and describe causes of

less understanding of mental states, doing

The manner in which parents respond to
child emotion plays an important role in defining the type and quality of attachment a
child develops towards his or her caregiver, such that
children with parents who are
less sensitive and attuned to their
emotions, are at greater risk of developing a disrupted attachment.
Thus, in terms of their impaired emotional functioning,
children with CU traits are
less likely to recognize and respond to others» negative
emotions.
The findings from these studies converge to suggest that the mothers of
children with high levels of CU traits have a more negative
emotion socialization style, characterized by
less acceptance and more dismissing of
children's experience and expression of
emotions.
As reviewed above,
children with elevated CU traits appear to be
less cognizant of, and responsive to, others»
emotions, but willing to discuss
emotions in the family.
This result is consonant
with previous data, showing that
children with CU traits and ODD - related problems are
less sensitive to
emotions that reflect others» distress, such as fear and sadness (Blair et al., 2001; Kimonis et al., 2012, 2016).
Taken together, the results were consistent in suggesting that the mothers of
children with higher levels of CU traits are more likely to have affective attitudes that are
less accepting of
emotion (Study 1), and
emotion socialization practices that are more dismissing of
child emotion (Study 2).
Previous studies that have investigated these relationships in clinic - referred
children with disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs), have found parents» coaching of
emotions to be inversely associated
with severity of behavioral problems [34], and
less characteristic of the parents of conduct - problem
children versus non-clinic controls [35].
While the aforementioned body of work indicates that
children with high CU traits experience more negative parenting and poorer quality parent —
child relationships, what is
less understood, however, are the specific ways in which parents socialize such
children about
emotions.
In a randomized trial
with 246
children in 20 Head Start classrooms,
children exposed to the PATHS program had higher
emotion knowledge skills and were rated as more socially competent and
less socially withdrawn at the end of the school year.26 When PATHS was implemented along
with a language and literacy curriculum in a separate study in 44 Head Start classrooms, significant reductions in
children's aggressive behaviour were also observed.27
Finally,
children with an AD displayed
less positive
emotions during the emotional discussions than non-AD
children (Hudson et al. 2008; Suveg et al. 2008).
Regarding expressivity, we expected that parent -
child dyads
with AD
children would particularly show
less positive
emotions, but also more negative
emotions during interactions than parent -
child dyads
with non-AD
children.
Showing difficulties in appreciating other people's
emotions and being empathic, mothers
with high levels of alexithymia might appear
less responsive to their
children's psychological needs, unconcerned and affectively
less involved in the relationship
with them.
This study replicates and extends the findings of previous research on intrusive thoughts in hurricane - Katrina exposed
children (Sprung and Harris, 2010); a better understanding of
emotion is associated
with less PTSD and OCD.
This means that when both mothers and
children had an AD, dyads expressed more positive and negative affect, displayed
emotions for longer periods of time, and switched
less between
emotions compared to dyads where only
children, not mothers, had an AD and compared to dyads
with non-AD
children and mothers.
In a related vein, mothers
with psychological difficulties are found to be
less sensitive to their
child's
emotions (Dix et al. 2004; Nicol - Harper et al. 2007), and more likely to respond in a dismissive manner to their
child's negative feelings (e.g., ignoring, belittling)(e.g., Silk et al. 2011).
Parent -
child dyads
with AD
children showed
less emotional flexibility by displaying a smaller repertoire of
emotions, switching
less between
emotions, and remaining in
emotions for longer periods of time compared to dyads
with non-AD
children.
Like
children with an AD, parents
with an AD might also not possess adaptive resources for expressing and managing positive and negative
emotions, thereby further contributing to
less adaptive emotional patterns of parent -
child dyads (Morris et al. 2007).
Additionally, we asked whether a better emotional understanding in
children would be associated
with less anxiety, fewer
emotion regulation difficulties, as well as more secure attachment relationships
with parents, as suggested, in theory, by the literature.
Also, parents of
children with an AD tend to encourage the suppression of emotional expression, and express
less positive and more negative
emotions themselves (Hudson et al. 2008; Suveg et al. 2008).
Parent -
child dyads
with AD
children were
less able to adequately manage positive and negative
emotions during interactions than healthy dyads.
During
emotion discussions, mothers of
children with an AD expressed
less positive
emotions than mothers of non-AD

Maternal depressive symptoms predicted
less accurate
emotion labeling in
children, while maternal sensitivity was associated
with more accurate
emotion matching, especially for sadness and anger.
When including both fathers and mothers in
emotion discussions
with the
child, similar emotional patterns were found showing that parents of
children with an AD exhibited
less positive affect during the discussions than parents of
children without an AD (Hudson et al. 2008).
The findings of the current study are in line
with previous studies showing that more anxious
children have greater difficulties in regulating their
emotions (e.g., Carthy et al., 2010), and experience attachment relationships
with their parents as
less secure (e.g., Colonnesi et al., 2011).
As predicted, women
with unresolved loss displayed
less positive

In comparison to
children of parents
with an
emotion dismissing philosophy,
emotion coached
children tend to have better physiological and
emotion regulation abilities, fewer externalising and internalising symptoms, higher self - esteem,
less physiological stress, and higher levels of academic achievement (e.g., Shortt et al. 2010; Gottman et al. 1996).
In comparison to families of
children with learning disabilities and control groups, they perceived their family relations as
less conducive to the open expression of
emotions,
with lower levels of mutual support, and reported their families as more organized and
with higher system maintenance orientation [33].
In the case of marital conflict, even when parents try to protect their
child from directly witnessing acute emotional outbursts, the negative
emotions emerging from the conflict eventually tend to surface during parent —
child interactions,
with maritally distressed parents being
less warm and more rejecting of the
child when they interact in a triadic setting (Katz and Gottman, 1996).
