Children's Successful Transition and Adaptation Research Study

Project C-STARS will involve families residing in Maryland, focusing on Chinese, and Korean families with young children ages 3-5 years. The (1) community resources available to these families, (2) parents' adaptation, well-being and acculturation, and (3) their culturally-specific parenting beliefs and practices will be examined, in relation to (4) their preschool children's social emotional development, social skills, and transition into American society. We will follow the children’s development over the course of 3 years, in preschool and entry into elementary school. This project is a collaborative effort with community partners providing services to these families.

Project C-STARS is partially supported by a grant from the Foundation for Child Development: Changing Faces of America's Children - Young Scholars Program (YSP). For more nformation about the YSP, please visit:
