For example, some have found significant differences between
children with divorced and continuously married parents even after controlling for personality traits such as depression and antisocial behavior in parents.59 Others have found higher rates of
problems among
children with single parents, using statistical methods that adjust for unmeasured variables that, in principle, should include parents» personality traits as well as many genetic influences.60 And a few studies have found that the link between parental divorce and
children's
problems is similar for adopted and biological
children — a finding that can not be explained by genetic transmission.61 Another study, based on a large sample of twins, found that growing up in a single - parent family
predicted depression in adulthood even with genetic resemblance controlled statistically.62 Although some degree of selection still may be operating, the weight of the evidence strongly suggests that growing up without two biological parents in the home increases
children's risk of a variety of cognitive, emotional, and social
problems.
The quality of relationships parents make with their

children, 7 adolescents8 9 and adults.10 11 It is possible to show that adverse parenting and poor quality parent —
child relationships are risk factors for poor health in general6 12 — 14 and symptoms of poor physical health6 12 13 in childhood and adulthood, as well as cardiovascular disease, 6 13 cancer, 6 13 musculoskeletal

Depression and attachment insecurity of the primary caregiver and more distal family adversity factors (such as incomplete schooling or vocational training of parents, high person - to - room ratio, early parenthood, and broken - home history of parents) were found to best
predict inadequate parenting13, 14 and precede the development of a
child's low compliance with parents, low effortful control, and behavior
problems.13, 15, — , 17 These psychosocial familial characteristics might also constrain the transfer of program contents into everyday family life and the maintenance of modified behaviors after the conclusion of the programs.
As a result, they tend to spend more time onlooking (watching other
children without joining) and hovering on the edge of social groups.8, 11 There is some evidence to suggest that young depressive
children also experience social impairment.12 For example,
children who display greater depressive symptoms are more likely to be rejected by peers.10 Moreover, deficits in social skills (e.g., social participation, leadership) and peer victimization
predict depressive symptoms in childhood.13, 14 There is also substantial longitudinal evidence linking social withdrawal in childhood with the later development of more significant internalizing
problems.15, 16,17 For example, Katz and colleagues18 followed over 700
children from early childhood to young adulthood and described a pathway linking social withdrawal at age 5 years — to social difficulties with peers at age 15 years — to diagnoses of depression at age 20 years.

Finally, a group of studies concerned social relationships in and around the classrooms, expressed for instance in bullying versus victimization of bullying, 35 antisocial vs prosocial behaviour36 and classroom social status.37 These studies have demonstrated how important the school social environment is for the development of mental health
problems in adolescents, and how important the familial background is for
predicting who among the adolescents develops antisocial behaviour (or bullying behaviour) and who becomes the victim of other
children's behaviour.
Specifically, negative emotional reactivity has been found to
predict both internalizing
problems (e.g., anxiety, depression) and externalizing
problems (e.g., aggression, rule - breaking).1 Fearfulness
predicts internalizing
problems, and self - regulation difficulties
predict externalizing
problems.1 The large literature on parenting2 generally shows that high levels of warm and firm parenting are associated with positive
child development.4
In multivariate analyses that included Brief Infant - Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment status and parental worry, Brief Infant - Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment scores significantly
predicted all school - age
problems, whereas worry
predicted only parent reports with the

Exemplary discoveries Our findings show that aggressive dispositions were moderately stable from kindergarten to grade 6 (e.g.,.56), whereas anxious - withdrawn behaviour was not stable until grades 2 -LRB-.36) and 3 -LRB-.51).3, 4 The percentages of
children in a community sample (n = 2775) that could be classified into distinct risk groups were: 15 % aggressive; 12 % anxious - withdrawn, and 8.5 % aggressive - withdrawn (comorbid).5 Predictive analyses showed that aggressive
children who exceeded a risk criterion in kindergarten exhibited increases in psychological and school maladjustment two years later.6 Anxious - withdrawn dispositions
predicted early and later increases in internalizing
problems.5 Overall, the findings corroborate the premise that aggression and anxious - withdrawal are risks for later maladjustment.
Although temperament and parenting each independently
predict outcomes, the associations are only moderate in strength, 5 allowing the possibility that parenting may increase the risk of
problem outcomes in
children whose temperament predisposes them to adjustment
problems.
The
Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used to
predict parent - reported behavioural / emotional
problems in 125 10 — 15 year - old congenital heart disease

Immediate post-treatment factors
predicting negative outcomes (delinquent acts) were maternal reports of behavior
problems and observed mother —
child coercion, indicating that in families where levels of parent -
child coercion are still high post-treatment, further intervention may be warranted to prevent future
problems.
This finding was partially consistent with previous research focusing on academic self - concept which
predicted children's behavioral
problems with their classmates (Coie et al., 1982; Kupersmidt and Coie, 1990; Taylor et al., 2007; Fite et al., 2012, 2013).
Our findings in a relatively severe clinical sample of
children with ADHD, free of conduct disorders, are consistent with several population studies33 - 37 that have reported that ADHD or ADHD symptoms do not
predict SUDs when controlling for conduct disorder or
problems.
Of course, this body of research does not really explain why certain behaviours are problematic or stressors for parents and families.2 Moreover, parent distress may be the antecedent rather than the outcome of
child behaviour
problems: High parent distress is associated with less optimal parenting and more negative parent -
child interaction which, in turn,
predicts child behaviour
problems.
Furthermore, several prospective studies have found that
child behaviour
problems predict later parent stress, and this may mediate the relationship between
child behaviour
problems and family dysfunction [29, 30, 31, 32, 33].
To address these limitations, the current study examined how both cumulative income and income volatility
predict trajectories of
children's internalizing and externalizing

children (51.4 % male).
Results supported a direct effects model: fathers» antisocial behaviors

The right segment of Table 3 shows that low maternal warmth (at t)(IRR = 1.08; p < 0.001) and harsh punishment (at t)(IRR = 1.02; p = 0.005), but not inconsistent discipline (at t)
predicted child multiple mental health

The upper right portion of Table 4 repeats the analyses but now for mothers» somatization
problems, showing that low maternal warmth (at t)(IRR = 1.07; p < 0.001) and harsh punishment (at t)(IRR = 1.02; p = 0.046) still
predicted multiple
child problems at ages 9 to 11 even when the mothers» somatization
problems (at t)(IRR = 1.15; p = 0.001)(and all other demographic factors) were taken into account.
A logistic regression analysis was carried out with the age of the eldest
child, sex, social class, housing tenure, age at leaving education, ethnicity, and the presence of behaviour
problems to assess the relative power of these variables in
predicting parental interest in attending a parenting group.
Third, although there are some data about various
child and family characteristics that
predict outcome (e.g., socioeconomic disadvantage, severity of
child behaviour, maternal adjustment
problems, treatment barriers), there has been a relative dearth of attention paid to a) the actual processes of change that are induced by PMT and b) whether there are certain subgroups (e.g., based on
child gender or minority status or family socioeconomic status) for whom PMT is more or less effective.15 - 17
