Cognitive Readiness to Parent and Intellectual-Emotional Development in Children of Adolescent Mothers.
Miller, Cynthia L.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v32 n3 p533-41 May 1996
Seventy adolescent mother-child dyads were assessed longitudinally to determine relationships among prenatal maternal knowledge and attitudes about parenting before and after the birth of the child. Found that mothers who were more cognitively prepared for parenting had children who displayed better intellectual development and fewer behavior difficulties. (MDM)
