Results showed that mothers' early verbal scaffolding at 3 years indirectly influenced both types of executive processing skills at 6 years by directly influencing children's language and nonverbal problem-solving skills at 4 years of age.

The Influence of Parental Skills on Children Executive Performance in the Chilean Context

The relationship between parenting styles and executive functioning in children has been well established. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of specific parental skills on children’s

Maternal Executive Functions, Maternal Discipline, and Children’s School Readiness: A Process Oriented Approach

Emerging conceptual frameworks identify executive functions as a potential explanatory variable in determinants of parenting, and a growing body of research has demonstrated associations between

Do Children's Executive Functions Account for Associations Between Early Autonomy-Supportive Parenting and Achievement Through High School?

Mediation analyses demonstrated that over and above other attributes, children's executive functions partially accounted for the association between early autonomy-supportive parenting and children's subsequent achievement.

Exploring the Influence of Parents' Beliefs and Behaviors on Children's Developing Executive Function

Executive function (EF) is a multi-component construct responsible for higher-order thinking abilities such as problem solving, goal-setting, and attentional flexibility (Jurado & Rosselli, 2007).

SOCIAL INTERACTIVE QUALITY OF PARENT-CHILD SCAFFOLDING AS A PREDICTOR OF CHILDREN'S EXECUTIVE FUNCTION

The present study examined how specific social interactive patterns of parent-child scaffolding are predictive of the attentional-switching executive functioning (EF) of children, 20 29 months of age

Parental Guidance and Children's Executive Function: Working Memory and Planning as Moderators During Joint Problem‐Solving

Cognitive aspects of children's executive function (EF) were examined as moderators of the effectiveness of parental guidance on children's learning. Thirty-two 5-year-old children and their parents

The Role of Relational and Instructional Classroom Supports in the Language Development of At-Risk Preschoolers

The present study examined the extent to which preschool classroom supports—relational support (RS) and instructional support (IS)—are associated with children's language development and whether

Quality of Maternal Parenting of 9-Month-Old Infants Predicts Executive Function Performance at 2 and 3 Years of Age

It is suggested that maternal parenting quality during the 1st year (maternal mind-mindedness and encouragement of autonomy, but not maternal sensitivity) impacts later EF development.

Parenting behaviour and executive function in children with Down syndrome

There was a greater frequency of parenting directives and child compliance in the DS dyads, and parents of children with DS were more likely to follow child compliance with directives than parents of TD children.

Early maternal and child influences on children's later independent cognitive and social functioning.

As predicted, mothers' maintaining of children's interests indirectly supported 4 1/2-year cognitive and social independence through a direct, positive influence on 2- and 3 2-year skills, but directiveness needs to decrease in relation to children's increasing competencies.

Matemal Regulation of Children's Problem-solving Behavior and Its Impact on Children's Performance

Child performance was related to variation in maternal regulation of the child; and degree of specificity of maternal verbal content, which displayed more task responsibility and regulation with younger children and when task demands on children of both age groups increased.

Predicting cognitive-language and social growth curves from early maternal behaviors in children at varying degrees of biological risk.

Growth modeling was used to examine the relation of early parenting behaviors with rates of change in children's cognitive-language and social response and initiating skills assessed at 6, 12, 24, and 40 months, with relations stronger for the HR versus the other two groups.

The relation of change in maternal interactive styles to the developing social competence of full-term and preterm children.

Variations in mothers' responses to children's changing capabilities predicted rates of change in children's social skills and demonstrated the importance of using methodologies that test more complex models of growth when evaluating parent-child relations.

Joint attention and early language.

Inside joint episodes of joint attentional focus between mother and child, maternal references to objects that were already the child's focus of attention were positively correlated with the child’s vocabulary at 21 months, while object references that attempted to redirect the Child's attention were negatively correlated.

Executive Functioning in Preschool Children: Performance on A-Not-B and Other Delayed Response Format Tasks

The results indicate that AB is sensitive to individual differences in age-related performance in preschool children and suggest that AB performance is related to both working memory and inhibition processes in this age range.

Joint attention and infant toy exploration: effects of Down syndrome and prematurity.

12-month-old infants with Down syndrome and mental and motor age-matched high-risk preterm infants were studied with respect to their ability to attend to and explore their environment in interactions with their mothers to reveal differences in the infants' responses to particular maternal strategies.

Does early responsive parenting have a special importance for children's development or is consistency across early childhood necessary?

Children, especially preterm children, showed faster cognitive growth when mothers were consistently responsive, and the importance of consistent responsiveness, defined by an affective-emotional construct, was evident even when a broader constellation of parenting behaviors was considered.
