Even when study is limited to family processes as influences, multivariate risk models find support.9 - 12 For example, Cummings and Davies13 presented a framework for how multiple disruptions in child and family
functioning and related contexts are supported as pertinent to associations between maternal depression and early child adjustment, including problematic parenting, marital conflict, children's exposure to
parental depression, and related difficulties in family processes.10, 11 A particular focus of this family process model is identifying and distinguishing specific response processes in the child (e.g.,

emotional and behavioral displays (i.e., protest behavior) designed to elicit the involvement of the parent to serve as a «regulating other» for the child in providing scaffolding support for the child's transition back into a regulated state, thereby building all of the neural networks associated with the developmental challenge that the child had difficulty independently mastering.

parental educational attainment and work skills, poor housing, low social support, dangerous neighbourhoods), many parenting programs have incorporated components that provide support for parents» self - care (e.g. depression, birth - control planning), marital
functioning and / or economic self - sufficiency (e.g. improving educational, occupational and housing resources).8, 13,14 This trend to broaden the scope of «parenting» programs mirrors recent findings on early predictors of low - income children's social and
emotional skills.
