Positive parenting may change over time with age, or vary with a child’s development, neurodiversity, or culture. However, the conclu- sion of the article is that positive parenting results in happier families as well as improved literacy skills and cognitive functioning in chil- dren (Matthews, 2023). List three peer-re- viewed journal articles on the topic providing and explain the rele- vance of each of the articles to the topic. Provides the full refer- ences in APA format. 1. “Relations Between Positive Parenting Behavior During Play and Child Language Development at Early Ages” is a peer-reviewed study that found children whose parents displayed positive parent- ing behavior had more developed linguistic skills at a young age. Examples of these behaviors were responsive, encouraging, and teaching behaviors. This was true of both mothers and fathers (Rivero et al., 2023). 2. “Caregiver Strengths, Attitudes and Concerns about Reading and Child Development in the Dominican Republic” is an article dis- cussing how positive parenting can lessen the risks to children such as poverty, malnutrition, adverse experiences, and exposure to violence. Engaged parents may help their child’s development through early reading, singing and other activities (Mathieu et al., 2020). 3. In the article “Early Executive and School Functioning: Protective Roles of Home Environment by Income” the authors discuss the in- teraction of parenting, learning materials, and income regarding a child’s school and executive functioning. In both high and low in- come children, positive parenting improves executive functioning (Murphy et al., 2022). Mathieu, I., Wallis, K., Japa, I., Cordero, R., Deverlis, A., Steenhoff, A.

Children (Basel, Switzerland), 10(3), 505. https://doi.org/10.3390/children10030505 Compare and contrast information provided in the source with each of the three articles by answering these ques- tions and citing the sources: · What information provided by the popular source is supported by research or information provided in the articles? The popular source stated that positive parenting improves cognitive and language skills (Matthews, 2023). Studies have found through studying young toddlers in Spain, that when parents displayed posi- tive parenting behaviors their children had better language skills (Rivero et al., 2023). Positive parenting has also shown to improve executive functioning in low and high income children. Executive functioning improves academic skills and school behaviors (Murphy et al., 2022). In the instance of low income children, positive parent- ing can lessen the risks of poverty on educational disadvantages, es- pecially if parents read and sing to their children (Mathieu et al., 2020). · What if any information in the articles conflicts with the popu- lar source? None of the information in the popular source conflicts with informa- tion found in the articles. · Do you consider the media source you selected to be valid? Why or why not? Although the information in the article is accurate, it is not a scholarly source. The website is not a peer reviewed source. · What questions do you have about the topic based on your analysis? I would be interested in knowing more long term effects of positive parenting. Explain how the topic can be used to help solve problems in the real world. Then illustrate with personal or profes- sional examples. Positive parenting can be used to help children gain the necessary language and cognitive skills to be ready for preschool and/or ele- mentary school. There can be parenting classes or resources made available in low income areas to assist parents in providing the best care and assist- ing in the development of their cognitive development, language 3
