Infant Regulatory Problems and Subsequent Behavioral Difficulties
Background/Objectives: Infant regulatory problems (RPs) are at risk of persisting and can contribute to later behavioral difficulties. Parenting stress has been identified as a risk factor associated with child RPs, but its mediating role has rarely been investigated in this context. The aim of the study was (1) to investigate whether RP symptoms were related to subsequent infant RP symptoms/toddler behavioral and emotional problems (BEPs) betwee…
Feeling the Same Strain? A Cross-Sectional Comparison Study of Fathers’ Versus Mothers’ Parenting Stress During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background/Objectives : Parenting stress is associated with parent and child mental health problems and has increased since the beginning of COVID-19. Research on paternal parenting stress is sparse-even if family models are changing increasingly with fathers being more strongly involved in caregiving for their children. This study investigated (1) overall parenting stress levels and specific parenting stress subscales in fathers with young child…

Infant social development before versus during the Covid-19 pandemic and the mediating effect of maternal media use – an observational study from Germany
Familial context influences media usage in 0- to 4-year old children
Background: The use of digital media (e.g., smartphones, tablets, etc.) and the Internet have become omnipresent for every age group and are part of children's and parents' everyday life. Focusing on young children, the availability of media devices, their use as well as associated problems (e.g., in social, emotional and motor development) have increased in recent years. Of particular interest for prevention of these problems in early childhood …
ADHD Symptoms in Middle Childhood
Background: Child ADHD symptoms are highly prevalent in middle childhood, alongside impairment in social functioning. The parent–child relationship has been shown to play an important role; however, studies investigating specific facets of the parent–child relationship in ADHD symptomatology in middle childhood have been neglected. We assumed that higher ADHD symptoms were associated with both (1) lower maternal emotional availability (EA) and (2…
Infant Crying, Sleeping, and Feeding Problems in Times of Societal Crises
RPs in the post-pandemic era are even more prevalent than during the pandemic, highlighting the imperative for health care professionals to focus on infant mental health. Parenting stress emerges as an entry point for addressing the cycle of infant RPs and maladaptive behaviors in both fathers and mothers
Assessment and Diagnostic Classification Using DC
Mental health problems in early childhood are common, but there is a lack of psychiatric research on this age group. DC:0-5 is a multiaxial classification system for mental disorders in early childhood, providing a framework for standardizing clinical practice and research. However, research on the validity of DC:0-5 is scarce. The Developmental Psychiatry Diagnostic Challenges Study (DePsy) is a multi-site, prospective clinical study including s…
Exploring Mental Health and Development in Refugee Children Through Systematic Play Assessment
To evaluate a standardized play observation as a measure of young children's mental health and development in a clinical and refugee population. We conducted individual play observations with 70 refugee children aged 3- to 6-years and compared them to a clinical group of 111 age-matched children regarding their level of play development, social interaction during play, traumatic re-enactments, and emotionless-cold play. Additionally, we assessed …
Participation of children in three Bavarian inclusive primary schools
Participation is one key element of inclusive education. While the inclusion rate in German schools is rising, little is known with regard to children’s participation in this context. This study examines the participation of children with and without impairments at three inclusive primary schools in Bavaria. Cross-sectional data was collected in parents and teachers of 124 3rd grade pupils (girls: n = 62, age: M = 9.5 years; boys: n = 62, age: M …
The Child Behavior Checklist as a Screening Instrument for PTSD in Refugee Children
Thousands of refugees who have entered Europe experienced threatening conditions, potentially leading to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which has to be detected and treated early to avoid chronic manifestation, especially in children. We aimed to evaluate and test suitable screening tools to detect PTSD in children. Syrian refugee children aged 4-14 years were examined using the PTSD-semi-structured interview, the Kinder-DIPS, and the Chi…
Health State of Syrian Children and Their Parents in a German Refugee Camp
More than 1 million Syrian refugees have sought asylum in Europe since 2011. Disastrous conditions in their country and an arduous flight increased the risk for the emergence of physical and mental problems, especially in children. We performed a comprehensive medical and psychological examination in 96 Syrian refugee children aged 0–14 years in a German reception camp. Parents were interviewed and answered questions on health, flight and living …
