When Toddlers Provide Care: Infants Companion Space.

Braten, Stein

Childhood: A Global Journal of Child Research, v3 n4 p449-65 Nov 1996

Hypothesizes regarding factors that enhance prosociality in children, implying that the quality of childrearing and early companionship have profound impact on toddlers' social behavior. Discusses observation space versus companion space, prosocial behavior across cultures, when toddlers abuse, and the implications of a circular reenactment of abuse. (BGC)
