Preferred term

parent-child interaction  

Definition

  • Throughout the life span, parent-child interaction is an important context for development. Bronfenbrenner's ecological approach to human development describes behavior as unfolding within a nested and interactive set of systems and levels ranging from several microsystems (family, peers, neighborhood) to the macrosystem (broad societal norms and attitudes). [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Parent-Child Interaction]
