Maternal Attitudes and Knowledge of Child-Rearing: Associations with Family and Child Outcomes.

Benasich, April Ann; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne

Child Development, v67 n3 p1186-1205 Jun 1996

Study of a cohort of low birth weight, preterm infants examined effects of maternal knowledge and concepts of child rearing on the home environment and developmental outcomes. Maternal knowledge, measured at 1 year, was found to be associated with quality of the home environment, the number of child behavior problems, and to a small degree, infant IQ at 36 months. (HTH)
