Article Abstract
The present study examined how changes in child Big Five personality characteristics and overreactive parenting during the transition from childhood to adolescence predict adolescent adjustment problems. The sample included 290 children, aged 8-9 years. At three moments, with 2-year intervals, mothers, fathers, and a teacher reported on the child's personality, and mothers and fathers reported on their parenting behavior. At the third measurement moment, mothers, fathers, and children reported on the child's adjustment problems. Rank-order stability of the personality dimensions and overreactive parenting were high. Univariate latent growth models revealed mean-level decreases for extraversion, conscientiousness, and imagination. Mean levels of benevolence, emotional stability, and overreactive parenting were stable. Multivariate latent growth models revealed that decreases in extraversion and emotional stability predicted internalizing problems, whereas decreases in benevolence, conscientiousness, and emotional stability predicted externalizing problems. Increases in overreactive parenting predicted externalizing, but not internalizing problems. The associations were similar for boys and girls. The results indicate that changes in child personality and overreactive parenting during the transition to adolescence are associated with adolescent adjustment problems. Overall, child personality was more important than overreactive parenting, and children were more likely to "act out" than to "withdraw" in reaction to overreactive parenting.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how maternal depressive symptoms influence caregiving and the neurocognitive and emotional development of 18-month-old children, highlighting the potential challenges of motherhood beyond the typical joy associated with it.
- It focuses on the role of parenting styles and home environments, finding that a permissive approach and less cognitive stimulation can worsen the effects of maternal depression on children's development outcomes.
- The research involved 479 mothers and toddlers, using various assessments to measure maternal depression, parenting styles, and children's developmental outcomes, revealing that certain parenting behaviors, like being overly reactive, can further impact emotional regulation in children.

Introduction: Challenging behaviour (CB) is a common issue among children with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual and developmental disability. Mental health applications are low-threshold cost-effective tools to address the lack of resources for caregivers. This pre-post study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the smartphone app using algorithm-based behaviour analysis to identify causes of CB and provide individualized practical guidance to manage and prevent CB.
