NUNES, Laísy de Lima e SALOMAO, Nádia Maria Ribeiro. "Why does my baby act like that?: ": study about parent conceptions. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, pp.1-21. ISSN 1982-1247. https://doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2021.v15.30709.
This article analyzed parental conceptions about child characteristics that most call parents' attention, those which they have more difficulties to deal with and the factors to which these characteristics are attributed. Twenty couples participated in the study, interviewed at the babies' 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months. The data were analyzed qualitatively. Socio-emotional skills were the characteristics that most attracted attention. As main difficulties, mothers mentioned dealing with infant stubbornness and fathers reported difficulties in dealing with babies' crying. Among the factors to which these characteristics are attributed, biological and environmental aspects were mentioned. Knowing parental conceptions about development contributes to the foundation of guidance programs for professionals and parents in different areas.
