3. Résumé

«Our findings revealed that there were no significant change in students’ overall social competence and parenting stress over the course of the emotion regulation intervention carried out by teachers. Evidence shows that parents who report higher levels of parenting stress are more likely, than those who do not, to use an authoritarian and negative parenting style […] and are less involved in their children’s lives […]. Further, greater emotional and social support from family members and friends appear to be associated with lower levels of parenting stress […]. Research by Benzies and colleagues (2004) show that parenting stress levels predict later behaviour problems in children. Given the above research evidence, future investment in studies examining the specific behaviours of children with borderline intelligence that parents find most challenging in order to develop appropriate intervention and support.» (p. 35-36)
