Howes, Carollee; Stewart, Phyllis

Developmental Psychology, v23 n3 p423-30 May 1987

Toddlers' play with care-giving adults, and with toys and peers, was observed and rated in family day care homes. Participants were 55 children, their mothers, and family day care home providers. The quality of the family day care home was assessed. Mothers reported information on family stress, social support, child-rearing attitudes, and maternal role satisfaction. (Author/BN)
