What small jobs at home give a child an opportunity to help another person?
This article addresses trajectories of parental involvement and children’s prosocial behavior.
Who was studied?
Colombian families followed across three assessments, starting with 235 families
Age / stage: Early childhood
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate trajectories of parental involvement and children’s prosocial behavior?
- Was the proposed family influence measured before the outcome, and who remained at follow-up?
- How many Colombian families remained at the ages-three, five and seven assessments?
Keep the limits in view
The cohort declined from 235 families at enrollment to 145 at its third assessment. Loss to follow-up could affect the observed pattern.
