Vallotton, Claire D.; Gardner-Neblett, Nicole; Kim, Loria; Harewood, Tamesha; Duke, Nell K. – Reading Teacher, 2023
Experiences with books before age three predict children's motivation to read (Bus et al., 1995), and can support the development of vocabulary, communication, and symbolic skills (Scarborough, 2001). Sharing books with infants and toddlers is different than reading aloud to older children. For example, it is important to attend more closely to…

Kliesch, Christian; Parise, Eugenio; Reid, Vincent; Hoehl, Stefanie – Developmental Science, 2022
Learning about actions requires children to identify the boundaries of an action and its units. Whereas some action units are easily identified, parents can support children's action learning by adjusting the presentation and using social signals. However, currently, little is understood regarding how children use these signals to learn actions.…

This article is based on a 2-year (2017-2019) project that aimed to find out in what ways and with what materials childcare settings can bring "raising for a sustainable society" into a lived practice and what kind of support they need to accomplish that. The project mainly consisted of an action research in two day-care centres for…

Schoppmann, Johanna; Schneider, Silvia; Seehagen, Sabine – Child Development, 2022
Little is known about toddlers' acquisition of specific emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and how early ER is shaped by temperament. This study investigated if 24-month-old German toddlers, predominantly from families with high levels of parental education (N = 96, n = 49 male), learned the ER strategy distraction through observational learning,…

MacDonald, Amy; McGrath, Samantha – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
Early childhood educators play a central role in fostering children's mathematics learning; however, few studies have focused on educators' beliefs about very young children's capabilities in mathematics. Understanding these beliefs is critical for gaining insight into the mathematics education provided in birth to three settings. In light of this…

Ketrez, F. Nihan – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Turkish-speaking dyzygotic twins (n = 21) and singletons (n = 23) were tested through a standard articulation test to observe whether their consonant articulations were related to their vocabulary sizes, recorded through CDI forms, at age 3;0. Twins were observed to lag behind their singleton peers and performed below the norm level in their…

Maiju Paananen; Susan Grieshaber – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2025
This paper examines inequality among children, demonstrating its gradual emergence within the folds of daily routines in early childhood education (ECE). Employing Rob Nixon's (2011) concept of slow violence, our focus is on the cumulative impact of practices involving exclusion. Synthesizing Nixon's framework with Deleuze (1994) and Guattari's…

We investigated the role of bilingual parents' language proficiency in their reports of their children's vocabulary size. Sixty-four Spanish-English bilingual mothers whose L1 was Spanish reported their bilingual children's English and Spanish vocabularies and 37 monolingual L1 English-speaking mothers reported their monolingual children's English…

Ana Luísa Veloso; Clarissa Foletto – Music Education Research, 2025
In recent years, and within the scope of moving towards more inclusive and democratic classrooms, some scholars have proposed developing approaches to Music Education that depart from sound and sounding phenomena as larger categories that might incorporate the diverse trajectories and life experiences of children. In accordance with this initial…

Thomas E. Malloy; Beverly Goldfield; Avraham N. Kluger – International Journal of Listening, 2024
Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) predicts that people adjust their language to match that of the other to promote comprehension, coordinate action, and facilitate harmonious relationships. CAT predicts that mothers will adjust their sentence length and complexity to match those of children. Prior tests of CAT confounded trait-like language…
