The hypothesized model included (1) parental expectations; (2) the “whole” child's achievement in five developmental domains (i.e., personal-social, adaptive, fine/gross motor, speech/language, and cognitive); (3) parenting styles; (4) mothers' general knowledge of typical child development; (5) the quality of the child's home environment; and (6) parent-child relationships. The research questions of this study were (1) are parental expectations associated with children's development; and (2) which ecological elements are associated with parental expectations and children's development? The sample included fifty-nine three, four, and five year-olds and their parents. Parental questionnaires, a home visit and interview of the parents by the researcher, and the administration of the Battelle Developmental Inventory to the children provided the data for the dissertation. Three types of analysis were used Pearson product-moment correlations were used to explore the associations among all the proposed ecological elements. Multiple regression and structural equations were used to further understand the ecological model of parental expectations and children's development. The ecological model included the hypothesized direct link of between parental expectations and children's development. This significant link was confirmed by all three types of analysis. Other hypothesized links that were confirmed included family demographics such as associations between the mother's education and the fathers' education with the children's development. Confirmed hypothesized pathways included the child's age, the authoritative parenting style, the permissive parenting style and the mothers' report of the quality of the home environment mediated by parental expectations and associated with the children's development. The direct link between the parental expectations and development as well as the confirmed pathways are important when working with children and their families. Researchers, family life educators, social workers, therapists, counselors, and early childhood educators can and should use parental expectations and these pathways as multiple sources and avenues for facilitating children's development.
