The Tragedy of Child Care in America
Why the United States has failed to establish a comprehensive high-quality child care program is the question at the center of this book. Edward Zigler has been intimately involved in this issue since the 1970s, and here he presents a firsthand history of the policy making and politics surrounding this important debate. Good-quality child care supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, school readiness, and academic achievement. This …

A critical meta-analysis of all evaluations of state-funded preschool from 1977 to 1998
Evaluating child and family demonstration initiatives
Social competence
From its inception, Head Start has maintained children's social and emotional adjustment as a primary goal of intervention, but researchers have yet to settle on a consensus definition of social competence that can be used in developmental research and program evaluation. To address this gap in our knowledge base, we offer a comprehensive review of the extant research on children's social skills, including their ability to modulate their feelings…
Supporting children and families in the schools
The School of the 21st Century, a model designed to address the soaring need for child care, is housed in an institution already present in every neighborhood-the public school. Its potential to serve as a primary prevention program, through provision of child-care and family-support services for children from birth through age 12, is described. Examples of program effectiveness are offered, and the additional benefits of integration with related…
Funding Child Care and Public Education
Funding Child Rearing
This article proposes two financing plans to address what the author identifies as the two primary concerns in the child care field: (1) a child allowance for poor and near-poor households to address the child care problems of low-income families, and (2) a program of voluntary parental leave, available to all parents at child birth or adoption, to ensure the adequacy of infant care. The child allowance plan would cover the first three children i…
The Child Care Crisis
The child care issue in the U.S. has reached crisis proportions. This article begins by describing the extent and nature of the problem. The 1990 Child Care and Development Act is a step, albeit an imperfect one, toward solving the problem. Several guidelines for developing an effective child care system are articulated. One approach, the School of the 21st Century, is described and preliminary evidence of its effectiveness is presented. Concludi…

Psychological correlates of help-seeking attitudes among children and adolescents
A self-report measure of attitudes about seeking help from adults for psychosocial problems was administered to approximately 200 children and adolescents. More negative help-seeking attitudes were associated with male gender, adolescence, depressive symptomotology, and lower self-efficacy. Implications for effective delivery of mental health services to at-risk youth are discussed
Machismo in two cultures
The relationship of culture, personality traits, and punitive child-rearing practices to machismo was examined in 40 Guyanese and 40 Caucasian parents with children aged four to 12 years. Guyanese parents were found to adhere more strongly to machista attitudes and beliefs and to employ controlling, authoritarian, and punitive child-rearing techniques more often than did Caucasian parents
Beyond academic instruction
Public schools must move beyond narrow academic goals to become a comprehensive child care and family support system

Early Schooling
Essays offer differing viewpoints on schooling for four-year-olds, the educat of Black children, psychological aspects of early education, curriculum, and preschools
Addressing the nation's child care crisis
With nearly three-quarters of the nation's mothers in the work force, the issue of child care in America has reached crisis proportions. Despite attempts to deal with the issue over the past two decades, the United States remains without a national policy. This paper outlines the dimensions of the crisis and uses the established concept of the community school as the model for a plan that would provide high quality child care on a universal basis

Opti
A measure of young children's generalized tendency to expect positive or negative outcomes (Optimism-Pessimism Test Instrument : OPTI) is described. Descriptive data and evidence for the measure's reliability for first- and second-grade children are provided. Validity is assessed by the measure's relationship to several other measures of personality constructs. Moderate but significant correlations were found between OPTI and attitude toward scho…
