The purpose of this systematic review was to identify how the home learning environment (HLE) was measured in group design, early math intervention studies conducted in the home. Specifically, we evaluated the physical (e.g. frequency of activities) and affective (e.g. parents' beliefs, children's attitudes) aspects of the HLE. We included…

Lenka Janik Blaskova; Jenny L. Gibson – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Purpose: Sociometric studies and adult reports have established that children with Language Disorder (LD) are at risk of peer relationship difficulties. However, we have limited knowledge of how children with LD understand friendship, whom they deem as a good or bad friend, and what role their friendship concepts play in their relationships with…

Katie L. Winters; Courtney T. Byrd – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Caregivers share critical insight during their child's stuttering evaluation; yet, there have been no empirical studies evaluating whether caregivers provide similar accounts of their 3- to 6-year-old child's communication attitude compared to their child's self-report. This study examined caregiver- and child-reported communication…

Kate Cowan; Theo van Leeuwen; Staffan Selander – Global Studies of Childhood, 2024
This article considers ways in which toys have featured in children's play throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst often dismissed as trivial novelties, toys can be seen as a significant aspect of material culture, both reflecting and constructing ideas of childhood. A multimodal social semiotic perspective is used to examine a selection of toys…

Malow; Autism Treatment Network/Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (ATN/AIR-P) Sleep Committee, Contributor – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report high rates of sleep problems. In 2012, the Autism Treatment Network/Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (ATN/AIR-P) Sleep Committee developed a pathway to address these concerns. Since its publication, ATN/AIR-P clinicians and parents have identified night wakings as a…

Cassidy, Claire; Wall, Kate; Robinson, Carol; Arnott, Lorna; Beaton, Mhairi; Hall, Elaine – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2022
To foster children and young people's skills, dispositions and understanding that underpin a voice agenda, practices need to be developed that support this from the earliest age. This article explores issues relating to this complex, challenging and under-researched area from the perspective of practitioners working with children aged from birth…

Williams, Allison J.; Danovitch, Judith H. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
As children get older, they become better able to discriminate between impossible and improbable statements and they realize that improbable events can occur in reality while impossible ones cannot. However, when children hear about extraordinary events from fictional entities (e.g., popular characters from children's media), they may be more…

García-González, Macarena – Children's Literature in Education, 2022
A long-asked question in children's literature studies is how the child reads the very same book we (adults) have read. In 1984, Peter Hunt argued for a "childist criticism" proposing that young readers' multiple individual responses to literature should inform adults' critical practice. In this article, I propose that affect theory and…

Peretti, Giulia; Manzi, Federico; Di Dio, Cinzia; Cangelosi, Angelo; Harris, Paul L.; Massaro, Davide; Marchetti, Antonella – Infant and Child Development, 2023
Including robots in children's lives calls for reflection on the psychological and moral aspects of such relationships, especially with respect to children's ability to differentiate intentional from unintentional false statements, that is, lies from mistakes. This ability calls for an understanding of an interlocutor's intentions. This study…

While many factors can influence children's sense of security, little research has examined the role of empathy ability in the association between parenting style and sense of security.
