Impact of Grandparental Child Rearing on Cognitive Development in Thai Infants

This study examines the cognitive developmental quotients of 12-month-old Thai infants and assesses the effects of grandparental care on cognitive outcomes. A cohort of 4,116 infants from a large prospective study was analyzed, revealing that infants raised by grandparents are 1.4 times more likely to experience delays in cognitive development compared to those raised by parents. The findings emphasize the need for informed childcare practices and recommend integrating caregivers in knowledge-sharing initiatives to enhance child development outcomes.

  2. Background(cont.) -In children most studies of styles and factors related to child rearing. -Few studies on the child development and dimensions of child rearing on the cognitive development.

  3. Objective of the study Aim 1: Study children’s cognitive developmental quotient among 12-month-old Thai infants Aim 2: Study effect of grandparental child rearing on the cognitive development among 12-month-old Thai infants.

  4. Methodology • Population and sample • - The samples that all of members there are 4,225 infants • -Exclusion criteria were pregnant woman who were abortion and could not • communicate. There were 4,221 live birth, 32 deaths after within 1 year and • 11 withdrawers.

  5. Methodology(cont.) • Study design • - This study is part of the prospective cohort study of Thailand(PCTC) • -Collected via interviews or extracted from existing records. • -Cognitive development was measuredby pediatriciansusing Capute scale(Bayley, N., 1993) • -Interest factor was grandparental child rearing • -Primary outcome was cognitive developmental quotient • -Secondary outcome was effect of grandparental child rearing on the • cognitive development • Statistical analysis • -Using Stata version 12 • - Using mean and standard deviation for continuous variable • and frequency and percentage for categorical variable • -95% confidence (CI) • -Logistic regression

  12. RESULTS(cont.) Factors effecting on children’s cognitive development adjusted for all other factors

  13. Discussion Aim:2 Grandparental child rearing effecting on the children’s cognitive development -Children who reared bygrandparents had 1.4 times chance of being delayed cognitive development than those reared by parents congruent with the studies by Nanthamongkolchai et.al,2009 and Nanthamongkolchai et.al,2011 -While gathering analyzed with child, caregiver and dimensions of child rearing variants by stepwise logistic regression pointed out that the child reared by grandparent not significantly -That is because Child rearing is a dynamic and has a bi-directional So the factors that influence the complex processes associated with child rearing (Berns,1993)

Strengths and Limitation the wealth of prospective, longitudinal • Strengths • -The evidence that was based on the largest cohort study of Thai children • -Followed 4,245 infants from birth in October 2000 to September 2002 • until three years old • -Deep investigated to dimensions of child rearing • Limitation • -Should be recognized. Confounding bias from other factors such as • experience of child rearing, health status and substance abuse of • caregiver

  15. Conclusion and Recommendations • Conclusion • Child rearing by grandparents was at substantial risk for delay of cognitive • development when combined with other factors to promote. • Recommendations • - Health officials in the area should encourage the integration of caregiver the wealth of prospective, longitudinal to exchange experience and knowledge of child rearing; emphasized caregiver to hug or kiss, compliment and happy smiling or clapping with children -State and relevant agencies should propose a policy in promoting the cognitive development of children since was subjected in the womb maternal and should systematically and continuously intervention in the family have children cognitive developmental delayed.
