Supportive Parenting, Ecological Context, and Children's Adjustment: A Seven-Year Longitudinal Study.
Pettit, Gregory S.; Bates, John E.; Dodge, Kenneth A.
Child Development, v68 n5 p908-23 Oct 1997
Examined effects of early supportive parenting on children's school adjustment. Found that supportive parenting (maternal warmth, proactive teaching, inductive discipline, and positive involvement) predicted adjustment (behavior problems, social skills, and academic performance) in grade 6, even after controlling for kindergarten adjustment and harsh parenting. Highly supportive parenting mitigated the effects of family adversity on later behavior problems. (Author)
