Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the emotional and behavioral problems of different only-child and multiple-child families, and to provide a reference for developing effective parenting styles. Methods A stratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to investigate 2 647 guardians of preschool children in Tongling City from April to June, 2022. Children's emotional and behavioral problems were evaluated by using the self-designed parenting questionnaire and the Children's Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) parent edition. Results The abnormal total score detection rate of emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children was 15.5%, and the rate of abnormal peer interaction was the highest (19.5%). In multiple-child families, the first-born child (17.5%, 20.4%), compared with the second and third child (11.5%, 9.5%), was more likely to exhibit conduct and hyperactivity problems (χ²=8.44, 29.75, P < 0.01). There were differences in parenting attitudes between only-child and multiple-child families(χ²=9.38, P < 0.05). The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that more frequent parent-child discussion, the persuasive education and consistent family discipline strategy were negatively related to the emotional and behavioral problems of only-children and children in multiple child families (OR=0.15, 0.49, 0.38; 0.34, 0.40, 0.42, P < 0.05). However, harmonious family relationships were only negatively related to emotional and behavioral problems in only-children (OR=0.08, P < 0.01), and a higher education level among mothers was negatively related to emotional and behavioral problems in children from multiple child family environments(OR=0.30, 0.45, P < 0.05). Conclusion The emotional and behavioral problems are serious of preschool children in Tongling City, the psychological development of the oldest children from multiple child and only-child families should be actively followed, as this would help to promote a better understanding of the development of preschool children's physical and mental health.
