HOME-BASED PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN CHILDREN WITH AND CHILDREN WITHOUT INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES IN TÜRKIYE
No full textThis study examines home-based parental involvement in children with and children without intellectual disabilities, with a particular focus on the factors influencing parental involvement in the activities and play of children. The data were collected from 223 mothers using the Parent Interview Form. The findings reveal that both parents engaged significantly more in activities with children who had intellectual disabilities than with children who did not. Mothers reported that, in general, they were more involved than the fathers were in their children’s activities and play. Family income, mothers’ education level, and the number of children at home were shown to be crucial factors in parental involvement. The results may guide interventionists as to which activities and types of play parents should be encouraged to participate in more with their children, especially those with intellectual disabilities. Key points are: (a) parents of children with intellectual disabilities demonstrated greater involvement than did parents of children without disabilities; (b) the most common activity among parents of children with intellectual disabilities was going out with their children while reading aloud was the least common; (c) physical play was preferred by parents of children with intellectual disabilities and by fathers of children without disabilities; and (d) a noteworthy correlation exists between the frequency of parental involvement with children with intellectual disabilities and two key factors: the number of children in the family and the mother’s education level
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL VALUES OF MOTHERS OF CHILDREN AGED 60 TO 72 MONTHS AND THE PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF THEIR CHILDREN
No full textThis study examined the relationship between the individual values of mothers of children aged 60 to 72 months and the children’s prosocial behavior. The research was implemented using the relational screening model, a quantitative research method. The study group, which was determined by a simple non-selective sampling method, included 300 children aged 60 to 72 months attending preschool in the Istanbul province of Türkiye in the 2020–2021 academic year, and their mothers. The data collection tools used were the Individual Values Inventory, the Preschool Positive Social Behavior Scale, and a demographic information form. Scores for the mothers in the study group were highest for the values of sharing and respect, and lowest for trust and forgiveness; their children received above-average scores in their prosocial behavior. In addition, there was no statistically significant relationship between the individual values of the mothers and the prosocial behaviors of their children. These findings are discussed and suggestions are made for new research, along with practical ideas for teachers and families
PARENTING MEDIATION AND MONITORING: HOW FAMILY STRUCTURE SHAPES RESPONSES TO CHILDREN’S ONLINE SEXUAL HARASSMENT
No full textChildren from single-parent families may face greater challenges related to both internalized and externalized difficulties compared to those raised in two-parent households. The digital age adds further risks, with the need to protect children from online threats such as sexual harassment. This study examines parental mediation and response strategies in the context of child online sexual harassment, focusing on differences between single-parent and two-parent families. A nationally representative quantitative survey was conducted within the deSHAME2 project in Croatia, which involved 1,667 parents of school-age children. Using structured questionnaires and validated measurement scales, the study explored how parents engage in internet safety discussions with their children, their level of concern about online harassment, and the specific actions they take when faced with such incidents. Data were analyzed using nonparametric statistical methods, including the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman’s rank correlation. Findings reveal that while single-parent and two-parent households adopt largely similar parental mediation strategies and responses to online risks, parents in two-parent families were more likely to engage in discussions with their children when a problem was identified. These results suggest that parenting behaviors such as communication, monitoring, and readiness to act may play a more significant role in child online protection than family structure alone. By highlighting these patterns, the study emphasizes the importance of systematic education and support programs for all parents. Fostering proactive parental involvement in and open communication about online safety remain essential steps in reducing children’s exposure to digital risks, regardless of family composition
