What changes in my response when a child’s feelings become intense?
The focus here is the interplay of family warmth and children’s emotional regulation over time.
Who was studied?
2,341 children participating in the ELISA longitudinal project
Age / stage: 3–10 years
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate the interplay of family warmth and children’s emotional regulation over time?
- Was the proposed family influence measured before the outcome, and who remained at follow-up?
- Were warmth and emotion regulation tracked across all ages or compared between different-aged groups?
Keep the limits in view
The ELISA cohort spans ages three to ten. Interpret each association in light of when that child and parent were assessed.
