How might my child experience my response differently from a friend’s?
The proposed categories invite readers to compare how adults and friends respond to the same child’s emotional expression.
Who was studied?
A theoretical account of parent and peer responses to children’s feelings.
Age / stage: Middle childhood
Read with three questions
- How could two responses that sound positive differ in the proposed typology?
- Which of the proposed categories have yet to be tested against direct observation?
- How might my child experience my response differently from a friend’s?
Keep the limits in view
The article proposes categories rather than testing their effects. The proposed distinctions need empirical examination in different family settings.
