Young children develop understandings about literacy from birth through experiences of print in their home environments. Today, written text is often present in children's homes in both print and "digital" forms. What kind of technologies are young children accessing at home and for what purposes? This paper discusses research findings…

Atagi, Natsuki; Sandhofer, Catherine M. – Language Learning, 2020
Although language awareness is typically defined as the explicit understanding of language's functions and conventions, much evidence on the influence of diverse language environments on language awareness has shown implicit understandings of language. In contrast, this study examined whether exposure to linguistic diversity predicted monolingual…

Åsa Norman; Mahnoush Etminan Malek; Gisela Nyberg; Emma Patterson; Liselotte Schäfer Elinder – Prevention Science, 2024
Health promotion from an early age is key to preventing unhealthy weight development in childhood, and parental involvement is essential. The school-based Healthy School Start intervention aims to promote healthy dietary and activity habits in the home environment and prevent child obesity through parental support. This study evaluated the…

Su-Zhen Zhang; Tomohiro Inoue; George K. Georgiou – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
We examined the relations between mothers' reading skills, home literacy environment (HLE), and children's emergent literacy skills and word reading and whether their relations vary across urban and rural contexts in China. Four hundred third-year kindergarten Chinese children (M[subscript age] = 74.50 ± 3.77 months) were recruited from Jining (N…

Background: Test-to-stay (TTS) is a strategy to limit school exclusion following an exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We evaluated the use of TTS within universally masked kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) school settings following household SARS-CoV-2 exposure. Methods: Three hundred twenty-two…

By the time children in low- and middle-income countries start primary school, large socioeconomic disparities are evident in children's learning and development. Both pre-primary and home environments can play important roles in influencing school readiness and can contribute to disparities in early childhood development, but there is limited…

The prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) may be underestimated as it can be difficult to diagnose in early childhood possibly reflecting unique developmental trajectories relative to other Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDDs). Using data collected via the Early Development Instrument (EDI) between 2010 and 2015, we examined the…

Cui, Jiashan; Hanson, Rachel – National Center for Education Statistics, 2021
This Data Point uses data from the 2019 Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP) survey. The ECPP survey asks about young children's participation in weekly child care. The survey includes three types of care: (1) care from a family member other than a parent (relative care); (2) care from someone who is not a relative (nonrelative care); and…

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the daily life and social relationships of pre-school children globally. While many studies have examined the impact of the pandemic on children, few have compared the home environment and children's social skills before and after the pandemic. To address this research gap, we used data from the Japan Child Care…

Zhang, Heyi; Jiang, Liyun; Hong, Xiumin – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The present study examined the mechanisms by which family environment, parent--grandparent coparenting, effortful control, and early child-care experiences influenced young children's social adaptation in the Chinese context. A sample of 315 mothers of 2-3-year-olds (M = 33.36 months; SD = 5.10) in Beijing, China completed questionnaires to report…

This study aimed to explore the digital environments of 3-6-year-old children within the home setting. A total of 537 children aged 3-6 years and their parents participated in the study. The results of the study revealed that the children live in digitally rich home environments. Parents usually limited the screen time of the children, or…

St. John, Ashley M.; Tarullo, Amanda R. – Infant and Child Development, 2020
Although broad associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and child executive functions (EFs) are well established, contextual factors that may matter for effects of SES on EF are not fully understood. This study used a bioecological approach to examine factors that may moderate SES-EF relations. A socioeconomically diverse sample of children…

Lee, Kerry – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Working memory (WM) is highly predictive of academic performance, and individual differences in WM can already be observed in early childhood. However, obtaining accurate measures of WM in kindergarten-aged children is labour intensive. From an intervention perspective, identifying correlates of WM that are more readily measured can help identify…
