Parenting Styles of Divorced Parents and Their Influence on Their Children’s Bruxism: A Cross-Sectional Study
Parental divorce is one of the most common adverse events in childhood and can cause children emotional problems and influence their oral health. To explore differences in possible bruxism, state anxiety, coping and parenting styles between a group of divorced parents and a group of cohabiting parents.
A cross-sectional study was conducted, with data collected through self-report questionnaires filled in by 186 patients (8-16 years) and their parents. Children completed State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Self-Report Coping Measure (SRCM) and Parenting Style Scale. The Self-Reported Bruxism Questionnaire (SBQ) was completed by their parents.
The results showed significant differences were seen between the group of divorced parents (n=93) and the control group (n=93), with higher levels of state anxiety and possible bruxism in the group of children of divorced parents. In addition, in terms of coping strategies, externalisation and problem-solving deficits stood out. In terms of parenting style, autonomy promotion was higher. Additionally, possible bruxism was influenced by coping strategies (seeking social support), attachment-based parenting style and communication, behavioural control and state anxiety. Finally, it was found that high anxiety may act as a moderating variable in the relationship between divorced parents and possible bruxism.
Children of divorced parents showed more possible bruxism, anxiety, coping and behavioural problems.

In between days
From a commanding new voice in fiction comes a novel as perceptive as it is generous: a portrait of an American family trying to cope in our world today, a story of choices and doubts and transgressions. The Hardings are teetering on the brink. Elson -- once one of Houston's most promising architects, who never quite lived up to expectations -- is recently divorced from his wife of thirty years, Cadence. Their grown son, Richard, is still living at home: driving his mother's minivan, working at a local coffee shop, resisting the career as a writer that beckons him. But when Chloe Harding gets kicked out of her East Coast college, for reasons she can't explain to either her parents or her older brother, the Hardings' lives start to unravel. Chloe returns to Houston, but the dangers set in motion back at school prove inescapable. Told with piercing insight, taut psychological suspense, and the wisdom of a true master of character, this is a novel about the vagaries of love and family, about betrayal and forgiveness, about the possibility and impossibility of coming home.

When Fiona Lawson comes home to find strangers moving into her house, she's sure there's been a mistake. She and her estranged husband, Bram, have a modern coparenting arrangement: bird's nest custody, where each parent spends a few nights a week with their two sons at the prized family home to maintain stability for their children. But the system built to protect their family ends up putting them in terrible jeopardy. In a domino effect of crimes and misdemeanors, the nest comes tumbling down. Now Bram has disappeared and so have Fiona's children. As events spiral well beyond her control, Fiona will discover just how many lies her husband was weaving and how little they truly knew each other. But Bram's not the only one with things to hide, and some secrets are best kept to oneself, safe as houses\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Children and their Families
This book is concerned with the regulation of family relationships,in particular the issue of openness and contact in the many different family situations in which it may arise. The shift towards a presumption of contact, and its articulation within diverse fields of family law and practice raises a whole series of questions which this book seeks to explore. For example: Why has the contact presumption emerged? What is meant by contact, and with whom. What is the value and purpose of it? What makes it work or not work? What is the role of law and other forms of external intervention in promoting, regulating or facilitating contact and to what extent should ‘familial’ relationships be subject to state regulation? More broadly, what can we infer about current conceptualisations of family, parenting (and the relative importance of social and biological parenthood) and childhood from policy and practice towards contact? These and other questions were explored in a series of seminars organised by the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group in 2002. The book is the product of these seminars.
