Positive parenting and peer acceptance are linked to greater resilience in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Healthcare providers should encourage positive parenting and social skills to foster resilience in these children.
Area of Science:
- Child Psychology
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Mental Health
Background:
- Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting children and adolescents.
- Resilience is a critical factor in the well-being of individuals with ADHD, yet factors influencing it require further investigation.
- Understanding protective factors can inform interventions to support children with ADHD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the association between positive parenting and self-reported resilience in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD.
- To control for other potential confounding factors in the relationship between parenting and resilience.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 181 children and adolescents (aged 7-18) with ADHD.
- Resilience was assessed using age-appropriate scales (RS10 for younger children, RS14 for adolescents).
- Parenting styles were evaluated using the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire; ADHD symptoms were assessed with the Vanderbilt ADHD Rating Scale.
Main Results:
- Higher positive parenting behavior was significantly associated with increased resilience (aOR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.08-1.83).
- Peer acceptance also emerged as a strong predictor of higher resilience (aOR: 4.14, 95% CI: 1.83-9.37).
- Older age and borderline intelligence were associated with lower resilience.
Conclusions:
- Positive parenting and peer acceptance are key protective factors for resilience in youth with ADHD.
- Interventions aimed at enhancing resilience should focus on promoting positive parenting practices and social skills development.
- Healthcare providers play a vital role in guiding families to nurture resilience in children with ADHD.

Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.

Autism Spectrum Disorder
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.
Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
