A sample of 258 first-born 6- and 7-year-old children whose mothers were aged 14 through 18 at the time of their children's births were selected for these analyses from the NLSY. Optimal parenting was influenced by background factors as well as by factors evolving since birth; in turn these factors and parenting influenced outcomes for children. These findings can inform the design of intervention programs for adolescent mothers. |
