TL;DR: The findings indicate the importance of monitoring young children's parents with poor levels of bonding as their bonding patterns remain stable from pregnancy until toddlerhood and because those parents experience problems in multiple domains.

TL;DR: For both parents a negative indirect effect of bonding on child executive functioning problems was found via experienced parenting stress and the importance of monitoring parents who experience a low level and quality of early parent-child bonding is indicated, as this makes them vulnerable to parenting stress, consequently putting their children at risk for developingExecutive functioning problems.

TL;DR: The results of this study may contribute to early identification of families at risk for adverse parent-infant relationships, infant development, or parenting and be relevant for the development of policy, practice, and theory concerning infant mental health.

TL;DR: It is shown that mothers who reported a higher quality of the maternal–fetal relationship were more sensitive while interacting with their infants during caregiving and free play, but not during face-to-face play.

TL;DR: Evidence is found that the ten EDS items constitute a scale that is essentially one dimensional and has adequate measurement properties and anhedonia and sleeping problems were the most informative indicators for being able to differentiate between the diagnostic groups of mild and severe depression.
