When my child seems overwhelmed, how do I distinguish a need for support from a need for a limit?
The authors distinguish smacking, shouting and telling off in examining trajectories of emotional and behavioral difficulties in autistic children.
Who was studied?
Autistic children followed over time in the study cohort.
Age / stage: Childhood
Read with three questions
- Which forms of harsh discipline were measured separately in the childhood trajectories?
- What changed within families over time, and which differences were already present?
- When my child seems overwhelmed, how do I distinguish a need for support from a need for a limit?
Keep the limits in view
Following participants over time helps examine sequence, but does not eliminate selection, reporting differences or unmeasured family circumstances.
