Parents Speak: Zero to Three's Findings from Research on Parents' View of Early Childhood Development. Public Policy Report.
Melmed, Matthew
Young Children, v52 n5 p46-49 Jul 1997
Surveyed parents' knowledge and beliefs about early development, information and support sources, and receptivity to new information. Found that parents learn about development after becoming parents, feel most able to impact emotional development, do not see the full significance of early childhood, are concerned about caregiver continuity and consistency, and see time as a major barrier to better parenting.
