Summary

In this chapter we focus specifically on parenting from birth to age 5, a period marked by rapid development for the child and widely believed to set the foundation and quality of the emerging parent-child relationship. We begin with an overview of key developmental milestones, stages and transitions that influence the emergence and evolution of parenting over the period from birth to age 5. Then we review relations between five dimensions of parenting (sensitivity and parent child attachment, socialization, cognitive stimulation, discipline, and maltreatment) and relevant child outcomes, attending to child characteristics that moderate these associations. Next, we described parental characteristics and experiences that predict parenting behavior and child outcomes. These include: normative parental beliefs and emotions; acculturation processes and discrimination; childhood experiences; adult stress and trauma; and psychopathology. Throughout our review, we attend to the roles of race, ethnicity, and culture. This is followed by consideration of the value of this work for policy, prevention, and intervention efforts. In the summary, we draw attention to recent advances in this line of inquiry along with remaining limitations. We conclude by emphasizing our primary thesis: parenting in infancy and early childhood is a key factor that can enhance or undermine children’s concurrent and long-term wellbeing and achievement depending on the quality and context in which it occurs.
