Completing research on children and families can be very
beneficial. Research can provide
personal knowledge and it provides samples of what is expected and what is to
come. A study released by the National
Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in December 2011, explores how family
activities in the home contribute to children’s development while they are
attending Head Start programs. This study applied complex econometric modeling
to data from the Head Start Impact Study to examine changes in families’
tendencies to engage in a broad range of activities that support child
development. It sought determine how changes in family activities relate to
Head Start program elements and evidence of child growth indicated through
assessment scores.
