Abstract:
Parenting of children with ADHD has rarely been studied longitudinally. This paper documents the proportion of children with ADHD (n = 117) living in 10 locations in the US who experienced low maternal supportiveness at six different age points between 3 and 15 years. Children from the same sites without ADHD (n = 864) were used for comparison. Children with ADHD were more likely to experience very low maternal supportiveness at each age point as well as experience very low maternal supportiveness at two or more age points. Boys with ADHD were more likely than girls with ADHD to experience very low maternal supportiveness. Mothers with higher levels of education were less likely to display low supportiveness for ADHD and non-ADHD children.
