Abstract
Differences between rural parents' and non-parents' knowledge about child development was examined. The responses of 249 men and women with and without children were compared. Questionnaire data about child development indicated that adults' knowledge in general was limited. Women and parents with children scored higher on the child development measures than men, with or without children. Implications and directions for parent education are discussed.
