Early Maternal and Child Influences on Children's Later Independent Cognitive and Social Functioning.
Landry, Susan H.; Smith, Karen E.; Swank, Paul R.; Miller-Loncar, Cynthia L.
Child Development, v71 n2 p358-75 Apr-May 2000
Examined whether parenting and child characteristics of term and preterm 2- and 3.5-year-olds had common paths of influence on children's independent cognitive and social functioning at age 4.5 years. Found that high levels of mothers' maintaining children's interests across these ages supported later independence, but directiveness needed to decrease in relation to children's increasing competencies.
