This research explores factors influencing positive parenting, including work stress, spousal support, and parenting styles. It also evaluates two parenting programs: Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) and Groups for Family Enrichment-Parent version (GFE_P).
Area of Science:
- Developmental Psychology
- Family Studies
- Intervention Science
Background:
- Work-related stress can negatively impact parenting behaviors, with spousal support potentially mitigating these effects.
- Parenting practices, such as promoting volitional functioning and autonomous motivation, are linked to children's family bonds and socialization.
- Intrusive parenting styles can adversely affect young adults' romantic relationships and couple identity.
Discussion:
- The reviewed articles highlight the complex interplay between external stressors, parental motivations, and child development outcomes.
- Understanding these dynamics is crucial for designing effective interventions that support positive parenting.
- The evaluation of specific parenting programs provides practical insights into evidence-based approaches.
Key Insights:
- Work stress spillover and spousal support significantly influence parenting.
- Parental promotion of autonomy and motivation impacts children's sense of belonging and value transmission.
- Attachment-based and group-based parenting programs show promise in enhancing parenting skills and family well-being.
Outlook:
- Further research is needed to explore the long-term efficacy of parenting interventions across diverse populations.
- Integrating work-life balance strategies may enhance parenting support systems.
- Continued evaluation of programs like VIPP-SD and GFE-P can refine best practices in community-based parenting support.
