This study
examined parental actions that contribute to the highly academic
education of young children. Findings showed that mothers who believed
in early adult-directed
instruction and high performance standards selected out-of-home
activities that supported those beliefs. These mothers brought a
notable degree of directiveness to bear on their children even in
playful tasks. (SH)
