AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the coparenting relationship impacts stress, self-efficacy, and concerns for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Interviews with 22 parents examined their experiences in three areas: adapting to the autism diagnosis, parenting strategies, and expectations for their child's future.
- The analysis led to the idea of "coparenting competence," which highlights how parents' shared beliefs about their parenting abilities influence their coping mechanisms and aspirations for their child's development.
Article Abstract
The coparenting relationship has been linked to parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy and many other concerns associated with the development of children with ASD. Parents of children with ASD (N = 22) were interviewed to explore three domains of their coparenting relationship; (1) adaptation to the emergence of their child's autism, (2) parenting their child with ASD, (3) expectations for their child's developmental outcomes. The concept of coparenting competence, developed during analysis, describes collective perceptions of parenting efficacy. Parents linked perceptions of coparenting competence to their, ability to cope with diagnosis and parenting, motivation to do what they could for their child, and hopes for their child's development. The concept of coparenting competence could play an important role in future research and intervention.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the long-term impacts of a family-based psychosocial intervention (FTI) on parents dealing with life-threatening illness, focusing on their perceptions regarding the timing and effectiveness of the intervention.
- Nine parents were interviewed 4-5 years post-FTI, indicating that it helped alleviate loneliness and provided communication tools that some still use, supporting healthier emotional expression in children.
- Parents expressed a desire for ongoing support tailored to their individual needs after FTI, highlighting the importance of peer support gained during the intervention for coping with challenges both during and post-illness.
Validation of a brief food parenting measure for fathers: A test of factorial validity, measurement invariance, internal reliability, and concurrent validity.

Fathers are underrepresented in food parenting research partly due to the lack of succinct, theory-informed, and father-mother equivalent food parenting measurement tools. To address this, we 1) tested the factorial validity of a brief food parenting measure utilizing a subset of items from the Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire (CFPQ) to represent coercive control, structure, and autonomy support, 2) assessed the extent to which the brief tool works similarly in fathers and mothers (i.e.

This commentary examines the influence of fathers in early childhood development in Africa and its implications for child and adolescent mental health. Historically overshadowed by maternal influence, research increasingly highlights the multifaceted impact of paternal involvement on children's cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioural development. Fathers contribute uniquely to children's mental growth through stimulating play and rich language interaction.

Background: Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is a public health priority, and the perinatal period is a sensitive life stage when preventive interventions could be particularly effective. Protecting and buffering pregnant persons and infants from exposure to adversity can optimize children's development and health trajectories, reduce future morbidity and mortality, and even break intergenerational cycles of adversity, but no study has synthesized experimental evidence on effectiveness of interventions to address ACEs in the perinatal period.
Objectives: To (1) identify perinatal ACE prevention interventions, tested in high quality randomized control trials, with a dyadic perspective examining outcomes for mother and child; (2) describe their (a) place on the public health prevention continuum and (b) incorporation of life course characteristics that aim to optimize life health trajectories; and (3) determine which interventions show evidence of effectiveness.
