Neuron 2018: Mothers with high emotional, cognitive control help their children behave


A new parenting examine reveals that the more emotional control and problem-fixing talents a mother has, the less possibly her kids will develop behavioral troubles, including throwing tantrums or fighting. The study also observed mothers who stay in control emotionally are much less probably to be verbally harsh with their kids, and moms who stay in control cognitively are less possibly to have controlling parenting attitudes. Both harsh verbal parenting and controlling parenting attitudes are strongly related to infant behavior issues. "While you lose control of your life, that affects the way you discern," The mothers ranged from 21 to 49 years old; 62 % have been married and almost one-0.33 had now not earned extra than a high school diploma.

The mother's emotional control was measured through a 10-item questionnaire asking how often subjects do things such as "have angry outbursts" or "over react to small problems." Executive functioning, or cognitive control, was measured through a series of tasks. Executive functioning is what helps people manage chaos and achieve daily goals, and includes planning, problem solving and directing attention to what is most important. Once researchers recorded the emotional control and executive functioning levels of the mothers, they then provided a series of questionnaires to identify parenting attitudes, levels of harsh verbal parenting and the amount of conduct problems their children exhibit. They not only found that mothers who had higher emotional and cognitive control were less likely to report poor child conduct, such as fighting with other children or throwing tantrums when they don't get what they want, but they also found relationships between a mother's control abilities and parenting behaviors. For example, mothers with better emotional control were less likely to see their children's ambiguous behavior in the worst light.

"There are some clear 'signals' that our supply of self-control is being run down -- when we are feeling distracted, irritable, and tired," said study co-author Kirby Deater-Deckard, professor of psychological and brain sciences at UMass-Amherst. "Parents can practice recognizing these signals in themselves when they are occurring, and respond by taking a 'time out' if at all possible -- just as we might do with our child when we notice these signals in them." And while it is fairly difficult for an adult with a fully-developed brain to improve their executive functioning -- previous research has shown that the prefrontal cortex of the brain, where executive functioning is housed, is generally developed over the first two to three decades of life -- the authors said even small improvements in a few basic things can make a significant difference for parents. "Getting enough sleep, exercising enough and eating well are all things that impact our executive functioning," Crandall said. "We should create healthy environments that help us operate at our best."
