p1.42 Relating Early Parenting Practices to Long-Term Social-Emotional and Behavioral Outcomes Presenting Author: Kathryn Bailey (USA) Affiliation: Vanderbilt University Co-Authors: Jason Chow, Eon-Joo Jang, Ann Kaiser, Ziting Zhou In a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies, we evaluated the associations between early, potentially malleable parenting practices and the long-term social-emotional and behavioral outcomes in children. Using data from 67 studies, we applied a two-stage meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) approach to examine how warmth, harsh parenting, and scaffolding parenting practices in toddlerhood (18-47 months) predicted children’s internalizing and externalizing behaviors after the age of 5. Results indicated that harsh parenting was consistently associated with elevated long-term internalizing and externalizing outcomes, while scaffolding was linked to lower externalizing challenges. Notably, warm parenting’s protective effect was mediated by scaffolding practices in externalizing models. These findings highlight the potential of scaffolding and harsh parenting behaviors as targets for early interventions to mitigate long-term behavioral risks. Limitations included underrepresentation of non-Western and non-White samples, and the need for experimental validation to determine causal pathways. p1.43 “We Can’t Do This”: Mapping the Exclusion of Young Children With Disabilities Presenting Author: Courtney O'Grady (USA) Affiliation: University of Alabama The purpose of this study was to document and understand the experiences of families with children with a disability who experienced expulsion from an early childhood setting. Ten mothers shared their stories through journey mapping and a follow-up interview, describing their children’s educational journeys from birth, noting where expulsion(s) or exclusion(s) occurred, and any additional barriers they encountered. Data was analyzed through an intersectional lens, informed by Disability Studies. These early expulsions delayed access to services, compounded issues of access to inclusive care, and had lasting consequences. Participants reported having to leave their careers to care for their children, pass up promotions, make financial sacrifices, and the exhausting nature of having to continuously fight for educational systems to dignify their children. There is a clear responsibility to hold our system accountable to ensure that every child has access to early care that affirms their worth and belonging. p1.41 Promoting Positive Parenting Behaviors in a Vulnerable Population: An Assessment of the Effectiveness of Coaching Using Video-Feedback Intervention Presenting Author: Kevin Liang Wei Hao (Singapore) Affiliation: KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Division of Medicine Co-Authors: Keith Liang Wei Han, Rajni D/O Parasurum, Chan Qing Rong, Winnie Goh Hwee Suat Positive parenting promotes child development. At KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore, Kids Integrated Development Service (KIDS0-3) is a home visitation program that promotes positive parenting behaviors and optimizes child development in vulnerable families. Data from 86 mother-child dyads enrolled over a 5-year period were analyzed. The Bayley-III tool was used to assess child development at 24 months of age. Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO) was used to assess developmental supportiveness at 24 and 32 months of age, and Keyworkers coached parents using video-feedback intervention (VFI). At 24 months, PICCOLO Teaching scores correlated with Bayley Cognition [p = .034] and Language [p ≤ .001], but only with language, after controlling for demographic factors. [p ≤ .001]. Paired t-tests showed significant improvement in PICCOLO Teaching ratings from 24 to 32 months of age [mean = 9.57 versus 8.73, p = 0.009]. This presentation aims to share the experience of PAISPAR - Parents in Sharing Group, created by ANIP (ECI National Association) in 2012. This group was born from a need of a family with a child with ASD. The family wanted to find a group where they could share their experiences/anguish with families with very similar experiences. Due to the lack of anything similar, a service was created which has now been in existence for 12 years. PAISPAR is distinguished from other groups designed to teach and promote parenting skills, because it relies on participatory/ family-centered practices. We will be sharing the impact of the Parents in Sharing Group meetings, based on a content analysis of parents' testimonies over the last few years. We intend to share the positive consequences of the group experience: enabling, empowerment of families, the increase of informal resources as well as the positive results on promotion of their mental health, with positive results for the development and well-being of their children.
