Joey Lam's Research Published in Journal of Pediatric Psychology

Joey Lam's latest paper, "Parenting, self-regulation, and sleep in young children at-risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder," has been published in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology.

Lam, a doctoral student in the COE's School Psychology program, found that:

  • -Greater use of adaptive parenting strategies (i.e., supporting positive behaviors, setting limits, and proactive parenting) was associated with less bedtime resistance, after controlling for caregivers' marital status and education level.
  • -Children with low behavioral self-regulation experienced less sleep distress when caregivers utilized more adaptive parenting strategies compared to those who utilized less adaptive parenting strategies.
