Summary
Children's cognitive and socio-emotional development is usually related to the quality of child care they receive. The relationship between sensitive caregiving in child care and preschoolers' effortful control skills were examined in the study. Results revealed that preschools' effortful control was significantly related to the thresholds of caregivers' sensitivity and responsiveness.
