Abstract

Understanding which skills parents consider necessary for kindergarten is essential because these beliefs drive parenting behaviors and are associated with children’s achievement. States are now evaluating kindergarten readiness based on language, mathematics, social, and physical development. However, it is unclear how much parents value and promote these competencies prior to kindergarten.
