The first was between a mother\u2019s report of her own adverse childhood experiences and a high and increasing level of conflict with the father over the first 4\u00bd years of their child\u2019s life. The second correlation was between this increasing conflict and the child\u2019s increasingly disruptive behavior over the same period.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/psych.ucalgary.ca\/profiles\/sheri-madigan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheri Madigan<\/a> at the University of Calgary in Canada, studied 469 families, running measurements four times during the first 4\u00bd years of the child\u2019s life. They divided parents into three groups: \u201chigh increasing\u201d conflict (22%), \u201chigh decreasing\u201d conflict (7%) and \u201clow stable\u201d conflict (71%). They asked mothers about childhood experiences such as household conflict, drugs, alcohol, sexual and physical abuse and parental imprisonment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"retrofit-references\">\n<h4>References<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 1.8em;\"><em> Madigan S, Plamondon A &amp; Jenkins JM (2016), <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jomf.12356\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marital conflict trajectories and associations with children\u2019s disruptive behavior<\/a>, Journal of Marriage and Family<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link between a mother\u2019s adverse childhood experiences and disruptive behavior of her child: marital conflict may be the pathway between the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":3053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5779,438],"tags":[474,36,27,267],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3050"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20286,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3050\/revisions\/20286"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/childandfamilyblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
