Direct linkLin, Lynda C.; Pomerantz, Eva M.; Zheng, Lucy R.; Robins, Richard W. – Child Development, 2021
Although Latinx parents' perceptions of the climate of their children's schools may play a role in their children's academic adjustment, research examining this idea is sparse. Every 2 years beginning when children were in fifth grade (M[subscript age] = 10.86 years) until they were in 11th grade, Mexican-origin mothers (N = 674) reported on their…

Chor, Elise – Child Development, 2018
One-quarter of the Head Start population has a mother who participated in the program as a child. This study uses experimental Head Start Impact Study (HSIS) data on 3- and 4-year-olds (N = 2,849) to describe multigenerational Head Start families and their program experiences. In sharp contrast to full-sample HSIS findings, Head Start has large,…

Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S.; Custode, Stephanie; Kuchirko, Yana; Escobar, Kelly; Lo, Tiffany – Child Development, 2019
Everyday activities are replete with contextual cues for infants to exploit in the service of learning words. Nelson's (1985) script theory guided the hypothesis that infants participate in a set of predictable activities over the course of a day that provide them with opportunities to hear unique language functions and forms. Mothers and their…
