Book excerpt: Purpose and background: The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between early childhood residential mobility and kindergarten readiness, and whether the relationship is mediated or moderated by prekindergarten programs in an urban school district. This study addressed policy concerns on kindergarten readiness of residentially mobile children who often experience unstable housing situations as well as limited educational opportunities. It is based on two theoretical models. First, the bioecological theory posits that frequent moves may result in instability in the central context for child development. Second, the family stress model suggests that moving can serve as a source of parental stress that may negatively affect family functioning and child adjustment. Method: A non-experimental, longitudinal design was used to address the research objectives. This study used a unique integrated data system that links individual-level administrative records and provides monthly address histories as well as child and family characteristics such as demographics, birth outcomes, education, socioeconomic status, and risk factors. I conducted a series of multiple regression and causal mediation analyses to examine the relationships among residential mobility, prekindergarten attendance, and kindergarten readiness. Additional sensitivity analyses were performed to check the robustness of the findings across different cut-off points for residential mobility and prekindergarten attendance. Results: The study demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between early childhood residential mobility and children’s kindergarten readiness scores, and this relationship was significantly mediated by prekindergarten programs. There was no significant interaction effect between early childhood residential mobility and prekindergarten attendance. The sensitivity analysis largely confirmed that these findings were not highly sensitive to different cut-off points for the predictor and mediator variables. Discussion: These findings suggest that policymakers, researchers, and practitioners need to pay close attention to residentially mobile young children who are likely to have reduced learning opportunities and, therefore, fall behind in their cognitive development. Collaborative local efforts guided by the integrated data system may play an important role in preventing the detrimental effects of frequent moves on early child development.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While residential mobility is common in the United States, residential mobility's influence in children's development is unclear. Coley and Kull's (2016) work in the residential mobility empirical literature, which uses the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99, suggests that residential mobility is negatively associated with children's cognitive skills and socioemotional outcomes. Yet, they note small associations, which leaves the role residential mobility has on child's development unresolved. To investigate residential mobility's role in children development, this study replicates and extends Coley & Kull's study using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11, a more contemporary cohort, to assess the frequency and timing of residential moves on child functioning. Counter to expectations, findings show no association between the frequency and timing of residential mobility and students' fifth grade child functioning. Implications for research design and policy involving residential mobility as a trigger for student services are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of children’s transitions to kindergarten as well as proven strategies that promote their readiness. It presents theories and research to help understand children’s development during the early childhood years. It describes evidence-based interventions that support children in developmental areas essential to school success, including cognitive, social-emotional, and self-regulatory skills. Chapters review prekindergarten readiness programs designed to promote continuity of learning in anticipation of the higher grades and discuss transitional concerns of special populations, such as non-native speakers, children with visual and other disabilities, and children with common temperamental issues. The volume concludes with examples of larger-scale systemic approaches to supporting children’s development during the transition to kindergarten, describing a coherent system of early childhood education that promotes long-term development. Featured topics include: Consistency in children’s classroom experiences and implications for early childhood development. Changes in school readiness in U.S. kindergarteners. Effective transitions to kindergarten for low-income children. The transition into kindergarten for English language learners. The role of close teacher-child relationships during the transition into kindergarten. Children’s temperament and its effect on their kindergarten transitions. Kindergarten Transition and Readiness is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and graduate students in child and school psychology, educational psychology, social work, special education, and early childhood education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term school readiness refers to the idea that most children, upon entry into kindergarten, have achieved a developmental level that enables them to adapt to formal schooling and achieve later academic success (Ackerman & Barnett, 2005). While research has found that preschool children vary considerably in their pre-education experiences as well as their readiness upon entry into formal education, the literature also notes that children's skills at school entry are highly correlated with later abilities and educational outcomes (e.g., Duncan et al., 2007). Therefore, assuring early competence is important. Beginning in early elementary school, those children identified as at-risk for school failure experience a significant gap in their academic achievement compared to their peers (Magnuson, Meyers, Ruhm, & Waldfogel, 2004). Head Start was designed to remediate said gaps by enhancing school readiness during early childhood. The early childhood literature points to the need for additional research in order to estimate the prevalence of at-risk preschool children in order to better serve them. Moreover, although social/emotional functioning and physical health have been implicated as important dimensions of school readiness (e.g., Castelli, Hillman, Buck & Erwin, 2007; Ladd, Herald, & Kochel, 2006), there are few studies that have integrated these variables to provide a multidimensional understanding of school readiness in children attending Head Start programming. Utilizing a diverse sample of 555 children who attended Head Start programming prior to kindergarten, this study examined how cognitive, social/emotional, and physical health in prekindergarten were related to direct assessments of child readiness at the start of the kindergarten year. The results suggest several characteristics affect kindergarten readiness in this group, including demographic variables, residential mobility, and cognitive and social/emotional performance in pre-kindergarten. Further, the total number of characteristics in preschool may be related to decreased school readiness in kindergarten. Children fared better when attending multiple years of quality preschool programming. These findings have implications for a range of state and local policy and program development efforts, as well as clinical practice and school guidelines.

Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.

Book excerpt: This volume marks the end of an eight-year program of research on population issues, launched in 1990 by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research: The NWO Priority Program on Population Issues. Initiatives for this program of research were taken over ten years ago by Hans Van Ginkel-who became the first program chair - and Dirk Van De Kaa. The Dutch community of population scientists is deeply indebted to them for their early efforts. At the time, the program carried the name "Between Individual Development and Social Solidarity: Pop ulation and Society in a Period of Transition. " The goals of the Priority Program were threefold: To reduce the fragmentation of research on population issues; to increase collabora tion among population researchers with different disciplinary back grounds; and to strengthen the position of population studies in Dutch academe and in international forums. Looking back over eight years of programed research, we can safely say that the Priority Program has given an enormous impetus to population research in the Netherlands - as this volume attests. This program of research could not have been carried out success fully without the valuable contributions and constructive input of a large group of scientists. The scope and the focus of the Priority Program were defined by a preparatory committee chaired by Gerard Frinking.

This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School readiness is as much about schools recognizing the existing capabilities and knowledge each child has when they enter school as it is about supporting children and families in their preparation for entering formal learning environments. Effective approaches that address learning variability must take these differences into account, recognizing and leveraging opportunities inherent in the child’s ecosystem of resources. The Handbook of Research on Innovative Approaches to Early Childhood Development and School Readiness assembles the most current research and thought-leadership on the ways in which innovative education stakeholders are working together to impact the most critical years in a child’s life—the years leading up to and including kindergarten. Covering topics such as change agency, experience quality, and social-emotional development, this book is a crucial resource for educational researchers, child development professionals, school administrators, pre-K teachers, pre-service teachers, program managers, policymakers, non-profit service organizations, early childhood EdTech developers, curriculum developers, and academicians.

This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 3133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general public often views early childhood education as either simply "babysitting" or as preparation for later learning. Of course, both viewpoints are simplistic. Deep understanding of child development, best educational practices based on development, emergent curriculum, cultural competence and applications of family systems are necessary for high-quality early education. Highly effective early childhood education is rare in that it requires collaboration and transitions among a variety of systems for children from birth through eight years of age. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Contemporary Early Childhood Education presents in three comprehensive volumes advanced research, accurate practical applications of research, historical foundations and key facts from the field of contemporary early childhood education. Through approximately 425 entries, this work includes all areas of child development – physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional, aesthetic – as well as comprehensive review of best educational practices with young children, effective preparation for early childhood professionals and policy making practices, and addresses such questions as: · How is the field of early childhood education defined? · What are the roots of this field of study? · How is the history of early childhood education similar to yet different from the study of public education? · What are the major influences on understandings of best practices in early childhood education?

Book excerpt: This open access book provides an overview of the ever-growing phenomenon of children in shared physical custody thereby providing legal, psychological, family sociological and demographical insights. It describes how, despite the long evolution of broken families, only the last decade has seen a radical shift in custody arrangements for children in divorced families and the gender revolution in parenting which is taking place. The chapters have a national or cross-national perspective and address topics like prevalence and types of shared physical custody, legal frames regulating custody arrangements, stability and changes in arrangements across the life course of children, socio‐economic, psychological, social well-being of various family members involved in different custody arrangements. With the book being an interdisciplinary collaboration, it is interesting read for social scientists in demography, sociology, psychology, law and policy makers with an interest family studies and custody arrangements.

This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and only comprehensive review of current early childhood development theory, practices, policies, and the science behind them This unique and important bookprovides a comprehensive overview of the current theory, practices, and policies in early childhood development withinthe contexts of family, school, and community, and society at large. Moreover, it synthesizes scientifically rigorous research from an array of disciplines in an effort to identify the most effective strategies for promoting early childhood development. Research into childhood development is booming, and the scientific knowledge base concerning early childhood development is now greater than that of any other stage of the human life span. At the same time, efforts to apply that knowledge to early childhood practices, programs, and policies have never been greater or more urgent. Yet, surprisingly, until The Handbook of Early Childhood Development Programs, Practices, and Policies, there was no comprehensive, critical review of the applied science in the field. The book begins with in-depth coverage of child and family approaches. From there it moves onto a consideration of school- and community-based strategies. It concludes with a discussion of current social policies on health and development in early childhood and their implications. Provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the knowledge base, along with guidance for the future of the field Examines the underlying theory and basic science guiding efforts to promote early childhood development Critically reviews the strength of the empirical support for individual practices, programs, and policies Explores key opportunities and barriers policymakers and practitioners face when implementing various approaches Pays particular attention to socioeconomically disadvantaged and other disenfranchised populations The Handbook of Early Childhood Development Programs, Practices, and Policies is a valuable resource for practitioners, scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students across the social sciences who are interested in strengthening their understanding of current strategies for promoting early childhood development and the science informing those strategies.
