Early parent-child interactions (PCI) impact social cognitive development. Relatedly, children with various developmental disorders exhibit abnormal parental attachment relationships. Parental characteristics and behaviors can impact PCI and socioemotional development as well. No research has examined the parent-child dynamic in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a neurodevelopmental disorder that presents with social cognitive deficits. This article provides a preliminary characterization of PCI quality and parenting stress in 17 PWS parent-child dyads, children ages 3-5 years, in comparison to 20 typically developing children and their parent. Results suggest early PCI disruption in preschoolers with PWS and their parents report increased levels of stress in various domains. These findings have important implications not only on parent well-being in PWS but its impact on child development.

普拉德-威利综合症学龄前儿童亲子互动的初步特征：订婚与父母压力之间的关系

早期的亲子互动（PCI）影响社会认知发展。相关地，患有各种发育障碍的儿童表现出异常的父母依恋关系。父母的特征和行为也会影响PCI和社会情感的发展。尚无研究检查Prader-Willi综合征（PWS）的亲子动态，PWS是一种存在社会认知缺陷的神经发育障碍。本文提供了17个PWS亲子二倍体（3-5岁儿童）中PCI质量和育儿压力的初步表征，而20个典型的发育中儿童及其父母则比较。结果表明，患有PWS的学龄前儿童及其父母的早期PCI中断报告了各个领域的压力水平增加。
