Abstract

Objective To explore the influence of parental company before and after having second child on the emotional and behavioral problems of preschool firstborn children, and to provide a reference for emotional problems prevention of firstborn children. Methods Questionnaire survey was conducted among mothers of firstborn children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from two Grade A hospitals in Chongqing from March to December 2019. The average age of 845 firstborn children was (3.56±1.24) years old. The chi-square test was used to compare the general characteristics and parent company of boys and girls. Rank sum test was used to compare the differences of emotional and behavioral problems of firstborn children with different parents' company. Multiple linear regression models were used to compare the differences of internalizing, externalizing and total problems in firstborn children with different parents' company. Results After having the second child, parents spent less time with their firstborn children, among which the decrease of the accompanying time of the mother and the total accompanying time of the parents were statistically significant(Z=3.76, 2.86, P < 0.05). The scores of internalizing problem were higher when the mother's company time decreased (B=1.18, 95%CI=0.01-2.36) and the parents' total company time decreased(B=1.41, 95%CI=0.33-2.48). The scores of the externalizing problem (B=1.25, 95%CI=0.10-2.39) and the total problem (B=4.31, 95%CI=1.05-7.57) with the decrease of parents' total company time were higher. Conclusion Parent company has an important influence on the emotional and behavioral problems of firstborn children. Firstborn children whose parents' accompanying time decreases after having second children scored higher on emotional and behavioral problems.
