Physical aggression directed toward parents by their adolescents is a serious issue both practically and scientifically.

Head Start is the largest publicly funded preschool program in the U.S., and one of its primary goals is to improve the school readiness of low-income children. As has been widely reported, the first randomized trial of Head Start in the program's history found some evidence that it is achieving this goal. Receiving one year of Head Start had…

Heckel, Leila; Clarke, Adam; Barry, Robert; McCarthy, Rory; Selikowitz, Mark – Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties, 2009
It is generally accepted that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) results from a dysfunction of the central nervous system, which has led to a commonly held belief that environmental factors play little role in the behavioural problems of children identified as having ADHD. Therefore, the two studies reported in this article…

Piek, Jan P.; Bradbury, Greer S.; Elsley, Sharon C.; Tate, Lucinda – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2008
School-age children with movement problems such as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are known to have social and emotional difficulties.

In the current study, we examined parent gender differences in feelings (negativity and positivity) and perceptions of child behavioural and emotional problems in adoptive and biological parent-child dyads. In a sample of 85 families, we used a novel within-family adoption design in which one child was adopted and one child was a biological child…
