Prochnow, Tyler; Umstattd Meyer, M. Renée; Johnson, Cassandra; Delgado, Haley; Gómez, Luis; Sharkey, Joseph – American Journal of Health Education, 2021
Background: Physical activity (PA) is linked to many health benefits. However, many children and adults do not meet PA recommendations. Specifically, Mexican-heritage (MH) families are less physically active and at greater risk for obesity and related co-morbidities than the general population. Culturally-tailored programs are needed to support MH…

Kokkinaki, Theano – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
We compared the structure and the content of mothers' and fathers' infant-directed speech as a function of infant birth order. Seven first-born and four second-born infants were video-recorded during their natural dyadic interactions with their mothers and fathers at home from the second to the sixth month after birth at 15-day intervals.…

Sorenson Duncan, Tamara; Paradis, Johanne – Journal of Child Language, 2020
Previous research suggests that increased second language (L2) input at home may not support L2 acquisition in children from migrant backgrounds. In drawing this conclusion, existing work has largely aggregated across family members. This study contrasts the effect of L2 input from older siblings with that from mothers. Participants were 113 child…

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…

Kuger, Susanne; Marcus, Jan; Spiess, C. Katharina – Education Economics, 2019
Children's development is fostered by both high quality Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings and high quality home learning environments. As we know little about the interrelations between these two environments, we examine whether the child's attendance in a high quality ECEC arrangement relates to the quality of her home learning…
