This study compares the parental knowledge of the behavioral capabilities of young children in a sample of low-income Hispanic, black, and Anglo parents. A modified.version of the Child Development Questionnaire (CDQ) is used to elicit parental notions regarding knowledge of developmental milestones. Results of analysis of variance between the various groups indicates that foreign-born Hispanics perceive young children's behavioral capabilities as developing at a later chronological age than do the other groups. The responses of U.S. born Hispanics appear to be similar to blacks and Anglos. The theoretical model of parental goals as put forth by Le Vine is used to help explain the findings. Implications for social service delivery are also discussed.
