ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND:
Insufficient and/or poor-quality sleep may contribute to poor social-emotional well-being, and vice versa, among young children who have experienced maltreatment. This study examined longitudinal associations between sleep and social-emotional functioning among a sample of infants and toddlers from families involved with Child Protective Services (CPS) for maltreatment.PARTICIPANTS:
Participants were 123 parents and their infant or toddler (baseline age 10 to 24 months) from families referred to CPS for maltreatment.METHODS:
Data were collected at baseline and at 3, 6 and 9 months post-baseline. At all time points, parents completed a questionnaire about their child's social-emotional functioning including internalizing behavior, externalizing behavior, and competence in social-emotional skills and social relatedness. At 3 months post-baseline, parents reported about their child's sleep problems and daily napping behavior.RESULTS:
Higher baseline externalizing behavior was associated with a greater propensity for sleep problems at 3 months post-baseline. Sleep problems at 3 months post-baseline were associated with higher internalizing and higher externalizing behavior at 9 months post-baseline. Daily napping at 3 months post-baseline was associated with lower internalizing behavior, lower externalizing behavior, and higher competence at 9 months post-baseline.CONCLUSIONS:
Among this sample of young children from families involved with CPS for maltreatment, parents' concerns about their child having a sleep problem longitudinally associated with children's internalizing and externalizing behavior. Children's daily napping behavior longitudinally associated with later internalizing behavior, externalizing behavior, and competence.
