Editorial reading guide · Kindness
How do we respond when our child is curious but hesitant to try?
For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine warmth at home and children’s engagement with learning.
Who was studied?
414 children in China plus their parents and teachers
Age / stage: 5–6 years
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate warmth at home and children’s engagement with learning?
- Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
- Which information came from teachers, parents and the five- to six-year-olds themselves?
Keep the limits in view
Ratings of learning behavior in a specific Chinese educational setting do not by themselves explain the effects of parental warmth.
