Supporting Children's Development In and Out of the Classroom (PDF)
By Suzanne Bouffard, Eric Dearing, Holly Kreider, Sandra Simpkins
2006

Summary: This Microsoft PowerPoint presentation describes a study of parenting behaviors and adolescent outcomes. Data are presented that answer three questions: (1) “What are the relations between various parenting behaviors?” (2) “How do multiple parenting behaviors predict adolescents’ achievement and adjustment?” and (3) “Are parental influences stronger in early adolescence versus mid and late adolescence?” Parenting behaviors were largely independent. Parenting behaviors predicted unique variance in children’s outcomes. Cognitive Stimulation and Emotional Support were positive predictors. Number of Rules was a negative predictor. School and Community Involvement were often not significant predictors. Findings indicate that age was not a consistent moderator.
