Abstract
This study was done to identify parenting trends among African American mothers residing in the rural south. A sample of 153 mothers (aged 16 to 38 years) with their preschoolers participated in the study. The mothers were assigned to groups based on age. The Parent Behavior Checklist (PBC) was used to collect data. The results supported a model in which the mothers’ disciplinary practices differed. The sociodemographic predictors of parenting behaviors were the mother’s education, attending classes on growth and development, support system, income, and the child’s age.
