Most studies investigated styles and factors related to child-rearing, but the study of impact of child-rearing practices on child development is limited and unclear. Objective To investigate the child-rearing practices and its effect on cognitive development of children at the age of 12 months, in Thailand. Method This study is part of the prospective cohort study of Thailand. The data were collected via face-to-face interviews and child cognitive development assessment using Capute scale. The multivariable linear regression was used to determine the effect of child rearing practices on child cognitive development. Result Among the total of 4,116 infants. The most common child rearing practices mostly performed by care givers for the responsiveness domains were warmth (96.60%). Concerning demandingness, only proper confrontation was perform by (39.94%). Factor influencing the cognitive development were: Total score; the children who were not reared warmly, had lower Capute score with the mean difference of -7.69, 95% CI: -12.25 to-3.14. For Cognitive Adaptive Test score; the children who were not reared with warmly, had a lower Capute score with the mean difference of -8.11, 95% CI: -14.37 to -1.85. For Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scales score; the children who were not reared warmly, had a lower cognitive score with the mean difference of -8.72, 95% CI: -14.74 to -2.69. Do not giving children in proper confrontation had a lower cognitive score than those who were, with the mean difference of -3.06, 95% CI: -5.26 to -0.86. Conclusion When controlled the influence of other variables, raring with warmth was the strongest predictor of child cognitive development.

These adolescent mothers might face various problems such as social acceptance, poor knowledge of child rearing with affect their quality of life. However, there are insufficient studies quality of life and the associated factors of the adolescent mothers in the biggest region, the Northeast of Thailand. Objective To identify the level of quality of life and the association between self-efficacy, ability in child rearing and quality of life of adolescent mothers in the Northeast of Thailand. Method Cross-sectional study with systematic randomization 232 adolescents who gave a first singleton live birth in a hospital, with data collection done through a structured questionnaire administration. The multiple logistic regressions were used to determine the association. Result The majority of postpartum adolescent mothers were age 18 years old (52.59%). All participants were primiparous mothers. Almost all of adolescent mothers had senior relative within family assisting in child rearing (90.95%). Nearly half of them (46.98%) had high scores of quality of life on living and child rearing. Most of the mothers perceived self-efficacy during pregnancy or pre-childbearing in moderate level (87.93%). However, only 36.64% had high level of self-efficacy on living and child rearing. Majority had moderate to high scoring of stress on living and child rearing (65.52%). Only 32.06% received high scoring of social support on living and child rearing. The multiple logistic regressions were used to measure association of significant factors by backward elimination. Factors associated with quality of life in postpartum adolescent mothers were no stress (adjusted odds ratio: AOR = 4.37, 95% CI; 2.29 to 8.30, p-value < 0.001), high level of self-efficacy (AOR = 4.01, 95% CI; 2.04 to 7.88, p-value < 0.001), and high level of social support (AOR = 3.31, 95% CI; 1.74 to 6.31, p-value < 0.001). Conclusion Social support, self-efficacy and stress have strong influences on quality of life of the postpartum adolescent mothers. Therefore relevant sectors should develop system to improve social support and child rearing competency of adolescent since pregnancy and postpartum.
