The role of family emotional expressiveness in the development of children's social competence

Article Abstract:

A relationship exists between the emotional expression in the child's family environment and children's social skills, and this expressiveness is determined by motivation, control of one's emotions, emotional display codes and also individual emotions. The common trends of family influence structures are constant and are also noticed in unstructured and ordinary families. The parent-child and parent-parent interactions are equally important. Varying parental effects are observed in boys and girls, and in general boys receive more parental attention.

Living separately as a child-care strategy: implications for women's work and family in urban Thailand

Article Abstract:

Increased rate of rural-urban migration and labor force activity by women in Thailand has led to the separation of children from their mothers. This necessitates a specific child-care strategy involving relatives. Preference towards children tended by a relative rather than a nonrelative provides better care and helps the migrants to maintain ties with their kin. Marital separation, age of the mother, and the number of children also influence the decision of mothers to stay separately.
