Parents and Siblings As Early Resources for Young Children's Learning in Mexican-Descent Families.
Perez-Granados, Deanne R.; Callanan, Maureen A.
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v19 n1 p3-33 Feb 1997
Interviews with parents from 50 Mexican-descent families revealed that parents encouraged their preschool children to ask questions about science and causal relationships; older and younger siblings learned different skills from one another; and children learned through observation and imitation. Discusses issues of "match" between home and school as complementary contexts for children's learning. Contains 75 references. (LP)
