AB  - INTRODUCTION: Existing research highlights interactions among child temperament, 
      parents' own anxiety symptoms, and parenting in predicting increased risk for 
      anxiety symptom development. Theoretical models of child-elicited effects on 
      parents have proposed that parents' behaviors are likely not independent of 
      children's temperament; fearful children likely elicit more protective responses 
      from parents and these parenting behaviors reinforces child anxiety and parents' 
      own anxiety. METHOD: The current study tests this model and examines whether 
      there are bidirectional influences between early fearful temperament (i.e., 
      dysregulated fear [DF]), maternal overprotection, and subsequent trajectories of 
      maternal and child anxiety symptoms across early childhood. A total of 166 
      children and mothers participated in a multimethod, longitudinal study of 
      temperament risk from 2 to 6 years. RESULTS: Results largely support our 
      hypotheses, replicating and extending the prior literature. DF was associated 
      with more maternal overprotective behavior, subsequent child anxiety symptoms, 
      and maternal anxiety symptoms. Moreover, there were indirect (mediated) 
      associations through maternal overprotective behavior and both child and mother 
      anxiety symptoms. CONCLUSION: Results support the hypothesis that 
      intergenerational transmission of anxiety was meditated through maternal 
      behaviors and that the child-driven temperament effects are central to 
      trajectories of child and maternal anxiety trajectories.
