Editorial reading guide · Kindness
How can we support a child’s friendships while respecting their pace?
For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine early maternal warmth in a study of prematurity and subsequent peer relationships.
Who was studied?
9,193 participants in the UK Millennium Cohort Study, including children born preterm
Age / stage: Early childhood to adolescence
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate early maternal warmth in a study of prematurity and subsequent peer relationships?
- At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
- How did the cohort distinguish children born very preterm, moderately preterm and at term?
Keep the limits in view
The very-preterm group was relatively small within a much larger cohort, and early maternal warmth was only one aspect of later social experience.
