Although clinic-referred children as a group systematically differ from non-clinic children in rates of deviance and non-compliance, some clinic-referred children show no evidence of behavioral difference from non-clinic children. It is possible that some children are referred to clinics because their parents' lack of knowledge about child development norms leads to unrealistic expectations, and, consequently, to interpretations of the child's behavior as deviant. To explore this hypothesis, an inventory was developed to assess parental knowledge and expectations about children and was administered to mothers of clinic-referred and non-clinic children. Analyses. comparing these two groups of mothers revealed significant differences in patterns of knowledge and expectations. In addition, inventory responses were used to predict patterns of mother-child interaction at home within the clinic-referred groups. These and other results were discussed in terms of the role of parental expectations in child behavior and the development of effective interventions for clinic-referred children. |
