Abstract

BACKGROUND: Through play children exercise their emerging mental abilities, and for their part, when in collaborative play, caregivers often adjust their behaviours to assist their children's progress. In this study, we focused on comparisons between play of Down Syndrome (DS) children with their two parents as well as on comparisons between the two parents' play behaviours. METHOD: Altogether 40 parent-child dyads participated: 20 children with DS (M age = 36.14 months) with their mothers and separately with their fathers. We coded participants' play behaviours during child solitary and mother-child and father-child collaborative sessions. RESULTS: Although children increased exploratory play from solitary to collaborative sessions with both parents, symbolic play increased only during joint play with fathers. Fathers displayed less symbolic and more exploratory activity compared to mothers. Mothers and fathers alike were attuned to their children, although fathers showed a higher degree of attunement. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that maternal and paternal contributions to DS child play skills are positive but different. During collaborative play children received specific and nonoverlapping scaffolding from their two parents, and fathers' contributions were unique.

父母与唐氏综合症儿童的游戏:对儿童探索性和象征性活动的影响。
背景:通过游戏,孩子们可以锻炼他们正在形成的心智能力,对于他们来说,在合作游戏中,照顾者通常会调整他们的行为来帮助孩子的进步。在本研究中,我们着重于比较唐氏综合症(DS)儿童与其双方父母的游戏以及双方父母的游戏行为。方法:共40对亲子对参与:20例DS患儿(年龄36.14个月)与母亲同行,与父亲单独同行。我们编码了参与者在儿童独处、母亲-孩子和父亲-孩子合作阶段的游戏行为。结果:虽然儿童从单独到与父母合作的探索性游戏增加,但象征性游戏只在与父亲共同游戏时增加。与母亲相比,父亲表现出较少的象征性和更多的探索性活动。母亲和父亲都能与孩子和谐相处,尽管父亲表现出更高程度的和谐。结论:本研究表明,母亲和父亲对DS儿童游戏技能的贡献是积极的,但存在差异。在合作游戏中,孩子们从他们的父母那里得到了特定的、不重叠的脚手架,父亲的贡献是独一无二的。
