Children from teen parent families are impaired developmentally compared to children of older mothers. Family support has frequently been proposed as a mediator of the stress that teen parents experience as a result of teen parenthood. This longitudinal study investigates the role of family support factors and maternal characteristics in relation to child outcomes (6-7 year old children) in teen parent families. Two models outlining the role of partner and grandmother family support are proposed to explain the process by which child development occurs within the family contexts of teen families. Implications of the results for intervention are discussed.
与大龄母亲的孩子相比，青少年父母家庭中的孩子在发育方面存在缺陷。家庭支持经常被认为是青少年父母因青少年生育而经历的压力的一个调节因素。这项纵向研究调查了家庭支持因素和母亲特征在青少年父母家庭中与儿童结局（6至7岁儿童）之间的关系。提出了两个概述伴侣和祖母家庭支持作用的模型，以解释在青少年家庭的家庭环境中儿童发展发生的过程。讨论了结果对干预的影响。
