Children with developmental delays (DD) are at heightened risk for developing behavior problems, which contribute to parenting stress and caregiving burden. There is an established relation between parenting behaviors and child developmental outcomes with less known about parent-child interactions in young children with DD. The present study examined the associations between parenting behaviors and child behavior in a sample of 180 families with preschool-aged children with DD. Results indicated that caregivers' harsh and coercive behaviors were associated with observed challenging behavior in children. Child age, as well as the number of commands issued by caregivers were associated with noncompliance in children. The significance and limitations of these findings are discussed, as well as recommendations for interventions and future research.
发育迟缓儿童（DD）患行为问题的风险较高，这会增加父母的压力和照顾负担。父母行为与儿童发育结果之间存在既定关系，但对于发育迟缓幼儿的亲子互动了解较少。本研究在 180 个有学龄前发育迟缓儿童的家庭样本中，考察了父母行为与儿童行为之间的关系。结果表明，照顾者的严厉和强制性行为与儿童观察到的挑战行为有关。儿童年龄以及照顾者发出的指令数量与儿童的不服从行为有关。讨论了这些发现的意义和局限性，并提出了干预和未来研究的建议。
