Interparental conflict and Latinx preschoolers’ academic readiness
The Creativity in Play Scale
Parenting stress, family conflict, and children’s behavior problems
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported online in Developmental Psychology on Jan 29 2026 (see record 2027-22130-001). In the original article, in Table 4, the third effect below "Moderated effects" is missing both an arrow and the label "Externalizing behavior," and the arrow from "Self-regulation" should point to the arrow between "Family conflict" and "Externalizing behavior." For the fourth effect below "Moderated effects…
Parenting, self‐regulation, and sibling relationship dynamics in early childhood
Childhood socioeconomic position and later-life cognitive functioning in the U.S
Parent conversations with young children
Parent-child conversations may minimize the impact of stressful situations on children's well-being. Parents were encouraged to talk with their children about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, yet research suggests that parent stress in response to the pandemic was associated with disruptions in parenting and increased child emotional distress. In the present study, 205 parents of children aged 3-6 years (50.7% girls, 56.6% White) reported on …
Early-life socioeconomic position and later-life cognitive functioning
Advancements in observing behavior in preschool classrooms
This article outlines a new method for collecting observational data in preschool classrooms using a combination of state‐of‐the‐art audio and visual equipment, including omnidirectional cameras. This audiovisual recording method capitalizes on the advantages of existing in‐person and mechanical observational designs. For example, the technique presented in this paper allows researchers to seamlessly follow multiple children as they move througho…
Engagement in social pretend play predicts preschoolers’ executive function gains across the school year
Parenting and children’s negative emotionality, self‐regulation, and academic skills
We examined whether fathers’ residency modified the associations among mothers’ supportiveness, father involvement, children’s negative emotionality during toddlerhood and children’s academic skills in pre‐kindergarten via children’s self‐regulation. Participants were 2,291 mothers ( M age = 23.24 years) and children ( M age = 14.99 months at Wave 1; 50.7% girls) in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project. Results revealed distinctiv…
Direct and indirect relations between family conflict and youth's later behavioral outcomes
The present study examined the associations between family conflict during toddlerhood and children's prosocial and aggressive behaviors approximately 9 years later, as well as whether maternal supportiveness and children's self‐regulation mediate those associations. Family conflict has been identified as a risk factor for children's well‐being and behavioral problems. However, these studies often are confined to conflict during childhood, and fe…
Spanish-speaking preschoolers’ effortful control and their English vocabulary and letter-word skills
Economic hardship during infancy and U.S. Latino preschoolers’ sociobehavioral health and academic readiness
We tested a culturally integrative model examining the associations among economic hardship during infancy and Latino children's later sociobehavioral problems and academic skills prior to kindergarten entry, whether mothers' mental health problems and positive parenting behaviors mediated those associations, and whether they varied by mothers' acculturation levels. Participants were 714 low-income Latino mothers (M age at enrollment = 24 years; …
Negative emotionality and discipline as long-term predictors of behavioral outcomes in African American and European American children
The present study examined the early parenting and temperament determinants of children's antisocial and positive behaviors in a low-income, diverse ethno-racial sample. Participants were from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project, which included 960 European American (initial M age = 15.00 months; 51.2% female) and 880 African American mothers and their children (initial M age = 15.10 months; 49.2% female) followed from 15 months …
The interplay of maternal sensitivity and toddler engagement of mother in predicting self-regulation
Using data from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project, a cross-lag mediation model was tested to examine longitudinal relations among low-income mothers' sensitivity; toddlers' engagement of their mothers; and toddler's self-regulation at ages 1, 2, and 3 years (N = 2,958). Age 1 maternal sensitivity predicted self-regulation at ages 2 and 3 years, and age 2 engagement of mother mediated the relation between age 1 maternal sensitiv…
Predicting self-regulation and vocabulary and academic skills at kindergarten entry
Middle Childhood Feelings Toward Mothers
The goals of this study were to examine (1) stability of maternal directiveness during interactions with their children from toddlerhood to late middle childhood, (2) direct and mediated relations between mothers' directiveness when children were two years old, mothers' respect for autonomy and children's positivity and negativity toward their mothers when children were in late middle childhood, and (3) differences in these paths by ethnoracial g…
Who Chooses Best? Explaining the Interactive Effect of Culture and Decision Maker on Children's Intrinsic Motivation
In previous research, Asian Americans had higher levels of intrinsic motivation than European Americans when their mothers made choices for them. However, European Americans had higher levels of intrinsic motivation than Asian Americans when they made choices for themselves. We attempted to explain this effect by examining cultural differences in social perceptions of the choice situation in two studies. Study 1 found that feelings of closeness w…
The role of positive peer interactions and English exposure in Spanish-speaking preschoolers’ English vocabulary and letter-word skills
Preschool Children with Gender Normative and Gender Non-Normative Peer Preferences
Using the Q-connectivity method to study frequency of interaction with multiple peer triads
A new social network method shows that young children vary in their abilities to interact with multiple peer groups and to maintain group interactions over time. Learning how to competently sustain group interactions is an important developmental task for preschoolers and is associated with enhanced school readiness, particularly for girls
