What mother-child talk tells us about children’s language, social, emotional and behavioural development: a community-based study of slow-to-talk children
Abstract: © 2017 Dr. Laura Jane Conway ; Language difficulties, including Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), often co-occur with social, emotional and behavioural (SEB) difficulties in childhood. It is unclear when and how the association between language and SEB difficulties emerges. Parenting behaviours are targeted in early interventions for both DLD and SEB difficulties, yet there is minimal research into whether similar parenting behaviours may promote both language and SEB development. An understanding of when the association between language and SEB difficulties emerges, and whether there are specific parenting behaviours that could be used to identify and/or provide intervention for children experiencing co-occurring difficulties is needed. This PhD was embedded within an existing prospective community-based study of children who were slow-to-talk at 18 months, Let’s Learn Language and its follow-up, Language for Learning. Data were available for 197 participants. Language and SEB skills had been measured at 24, 36, and 48 months, and mothers and children video-recorded during free-play at home for 15 minutes at 24 months. Maternal use of responsive behaviours during these observations, including expansions, imitations and labels, was examined in an earlier study. For this PhD, a coding scheme was developed to measure further maternal behaviours: praise, missed opportunities, successful and unsuccessful directives, and emotion and mental state talk. An existing coding scheme was modified to rate interactive behaviours: Supported and Coordinated Joint Engagement, and Fluency and Connectedness. The first aim of the thesis was to examine how language skills were associated with SEB difficulties at 24, 36 and 48 months. Linear regression models were fitted with and without cubic and quadratic terms to examine the shape of the associations between receptive and expressive language scores and internalising and externalising behaviour scores. The analyses controlled for environmental (e.g. socioeconomic status) and biological (e.g. birthweight) risk factors for language and/or SEB difficulties. Receptive but not expressive language abilities were associated with internalising behaviours across the spectrum of language scores, and with externalising behaviours at very low or very high scores. These findings suggest receptive language difficulties may be integral to the emerging association between language and SEB difficulties. The second aim was to explore the associations between maternal and interactive behaviours used during free-play and language outcomes at 24, 36 and 48 months using linear regression analyses. Simple slopes were used to examine whether the associations between the maternal behaviours, including the previously coded responsive behaviours, and language outcomes were modified by interactive behaviour ratings. Successful and unsuccessful directives were associated with poorer concurrent and later language scores, and the association was weaker when mothers also used expansions. This suggests that responsive behaviours may protect against the effects of intrusive behaviours. Supported Joint Engagement, the degree to which mother and child focused on the same object at the same time while the mother scaffolded the interaction, was positively associated with language outcomes. Supported Joint Engagement also modified how expansions and imitations were associated with language outcomes such that at lower levels of engagement, the positive associations were stronger. The degree of Fluency and Connectedness was also positively associated with language scores, and modified the association between directives and language. Together, these findings suggest that when maternal behaviours and the interactional context are aligned in a manner advantageous to language development, children may be more likely to learn language. The third aim was to explore whether the maternal and interactive behaviours, including the maternal responsive behaviours, were associated with SEB difficulties. Higher use of unsuccessful directives was associated with poorer internalising behaviours at 24 and 36 months, resonating with research showing that controlling parenting is associated with early internalising problems. However, there was no evidence that the other behaviours were associated with SEB outcomes. The effects of the maternal responsive and interactive behaviours might be specific to language development, perhaps by providing direct language-learning opportunities. In contrast, any associations between these behaviours and SEB development may be via more complex pathways. The findings from this thesis demonstrate that there are specific linguistic features of maternal input and situational factors of the mother-child interaction that are key to child language development. These same factors did not appear to be directly associated with SEB outcomes, except for intrusive directives. Knowing that receptive language difficulties, which are difficult to detect, can co-occur with SEB difficulties between 24 and 48 months may be critical to earlier identification of receptive language difficulties. However, specific parenting behaviours may not be useful for identifying or treating children with co-occurring difficulties. Further research is recommended to continue investigating how to best support children with co-occurring language and SEB difficulties, and how to provide advice to their families.
