Which experiences at home and with peers could my child want me to understand?

Harsh parenting and peer victimization are assessed together, keeping family and school experiences distinct in the interpretation.

Who was studied?

Two hundred and sixty-three children in a community sample followed across the school transition.

Age / stage: Preschool to kindergarten

Read with three questions

  1. When were peer experiences assessed compared with parenting and cortisol?
  2. What changed within families over time, and which differences were already present?
  3. Which experiences at home and with peers could my child want me to understand?

Keep the limits in view

Following participants over time helps examine sequence, but does not eliminate selection, reporting differences or unmeasured family circumstances.
