Family resources and parenting quality: Links to children’s cognitive development across the first 3 years

Lugo-Gil, Julieta, Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S·2008·Child Development

Abstract

Reciprocal associations among measures of family resources, parenting quality, and child cognitive performance were investigated in an ethnically diverse, low-income sample of 2,089 children and families. Family resources and parenting quality uniquely contributed to children’s cognitive performance at 14, 24, and 36 months, and parenting quality mediated the effects of family resources on children’s performance at all ages. Parenting quality continued to relate to children’s cognitive performance at 24 and 36 months after controlling for earlier measures of parenting quality, family resources, and child performance. Similarly, children’s early cognitive performance related to later parenting quality above other measures in the model. Findings merge economic and developmental theories by highlighting reciprocal influences among children’s performance, parenting, and family resources over time.

  • In humans, early sensitive parenting is associated with well-regulated stress physiology and with higher general cognitive and emotion regulation ability.

    “In humans, early sensitive parenting is associated with a well regulated stress physiology (Gunnar & Quevedo, 2007) and with higher level of general cognitive (Lugo-Gil & Tamis-Lemonda, 2008) and emotion regulation ability (Sroufe, 1996).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
