Family Dynamics and Relationships Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development Parental Involvement in Education

Abstract

Mothers' perceptions of their competence in managing selected parenting tasks were examined for five stages of parenting (Infancy, Toddlerhood, Preschool, Schoolage, and Adolescence). Subjects were selected from a list of mothers who had scheduled appointments for their children at a private pediatric office. Overall, these mothers reported feeling highly competent in most areas of parenting; however, each stage presented unique challenges. Mothers of adolescents felt the least comfortable about their effectiveness in their parenting role. The findings are discussed with regard to their implications for parent education programs.
