  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Background: Depressive symptoms are common in children with developmental  language disorder (DLD). However, risk and protective factors contributing to these  problems are currently underspecified. Aims: The current longitudinal study examined  the role of emotion-regulation (ER) strategies in the severity of depressive symptoms  in children with and without DLD, taking into account the severity of communication  problems of children with DLD. Methods &amp; Procedures:We followed clinically referred  children with DLD (n = 114, 49% girls) and without DLD (n = 214, 58% girls) between  the ages of 8 and 16 years across an 18-month period. Participants completed  selfreport questionnaires at three time points. Parents of children with DLD reported  on their child’s communication problems. Outcomes &amp; Results: Multilevel analyses  confirmed higher levels of depressive symptoms in youngsters with DLD compared  with peers without DLD, with a decrease across time in the DLD group. In both  groups, higher levels of approach and increasing avoidant strategies aimed at  distraction or trivializing a problem explained lower depressive symptoms, whereas  more worry and externalizing strategies contributed to more depressive symptoms.  Within the DLD group, semantic language problems were associated with higher  depressive symptoms. However, this relation was mediated by the tendency to worry  or use externalizing strategies. Conclusions &amp; Implications: Results suggest that  interventions for children with DLD should focus on enhancing their adaptive ER  strategies to help them cope with daily stressors just as in the general population.</dc:description>
