 Parenting conditions, family violence, and help-seeking among mothers of young children 
The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify various parenting profiles among Quebec mothers of children aged 0-8 years, as well as to examine the associations between these profiles, family violence against children (psychological violence, minor physical violence, and severe physical violence), and the demand for help with parenting support. Two independent samples of mothers of children aged 0-8 years (N = 2501 in 2014 and N = 3120 in 2017) were asked about several aspects of parenting and their socioeconomic characteristics by telephone interview. Latent class analyses (LCA) identified four profiles that differed primarily on parenting conditions. A multinomial regression using the most advantaged profile as the reference category showed positive associations between minor physical violence and the three more vulnerable profiles. However, the associations between psychological violence and these three profiles are negative, suggesting that this form of violence is less prevalent. Severe physical violence is not associated with any profile, while help-seeking is positively associated with the two most vulnerable profiles. These results converge with those of other research suggesting that families at risk of psychological violence are different from those at risk of physical violence against children. They invite us not to forget the seemingly less vulnerable families in our prevention efforts, because they are the ones who seem to be at the greatest risk of psychological violence.
