Validated Language exposure questionnaires for children growing up in a multilingual context

Thu Sep 11 18:22:03 UTC 2014

Dear People,

While we are on the topic of questionnaires, I was asked recently by 2
neonatologists if there is a questionnaire we might give to new moms that
would predict who will NOT provide the sensitive and responsive mothering
that kids with birth insults of various types need. I thought this was a
great question. I know of an old Zero to Three parenting questionnaire but
not sure I can find it.

Any help appreciated! Of course this has tremendous implications for
language devel too!

Best, Roberta
