Abstract:
ADHD afects 7.8% of the school‑aged population, making it one of the most common childhood brain illnesses. It is characterized by abnormally high levels of inattention, activity, and impulsivity at a young age. Being a parent of a child with ADHD is a real challenge, as the parents tend to be more disapproving, critical, and provide more impulse control directions; such parenting style can have an impact on the illnesses course, accentuate its signs and symptoms, and lead to secondary development of co‑morbid psychiatric and behavioral problems. This makes the parent‑child efect a matter of clinical importance that needs to be carefully assessed and managed. We aimed to estimate the sociodemographic and clinical correlates of parenting attitudes among parents having ADHD children. This cross‑sectional study included 48 ADHD children from both sexes, aged from 6 to 12 years old, and their parents. In our study, we applied the Stanford‑Binet Intelligence Scale 5th edition, the Conner’s Parent Rating Scale‑ revised, the parenting style as perceived by children questionnaire, and the Fahmy and El‑Sherbini questionnaire for the measurement of socioeconomic status. Results: Mothers of ADHD children had signiicantly lower scores of over‑protections parenting style than the fathers; the current study showed a signiicant increase in total parenting scores and warmth/support in mild ADHD cases than in moderate and severe ones, and there is a signiicant increase in the mother’s positive parenting style toward ADHD children with lower levels of social problems, mild cases, and older age. There is a signiicant increase of positive parenting style toward ADHD children exerted by post graduated, professionally working, and high social class fathers and by working mothers among rural residents and high social class mothers. There is a positive correla‑ tion between IQ and a mother’s warmth/support.
