The secondary aim of the study is to test the effect of the two added components on adjustment problems in children and to test whether enhanced effects can be explained by changes in children's responses towards experienced violence, in parental availability, and in quality of parent-child interaction.
Behavioral problems and social competence in insecure children increase or decline with deterioration or improvement in quality of parenting and the degree of risk in the family environment.
Another implication of Hofer's view is that the impact on developmental outcomes of disruptions as well as variations in quality of parent-child interaction may be mediated by multiple and sometimes interrelated regulatory processes, including but not limited to the attachment behavioural system proposed by Bowlby.

Minorities are known to receive less specialized help for their mental health problems [ 45], which may interfere with quality of parenting and result in less positive parenting styles.
Other changes that will also be evaluated using mixed model ANOVAs include changes in quality of life, child self-efficacy, parent regulatory efficacy, and parent social influences.
Attachment issues in our sample were reflected in high correlations between problem behavior and the quality of parent attachment (i.e., communication with parents, confidence in parents and alienation from parents).
Part 3 will focus on identifying and measuring the differences in quality of life for the children, parents and families.
A short-term community-based intervention with severely malnourished children including parenting education with play activities and the provision of toys and books with or without food supplementation was associated with a marked improvement in quality of home environment and mothers' parenting practices.
