Childrearing in Hubai Village, China Working Paper #25 in Early Childhood DevelopmentAuthorAndrew Ropilo Lanyasunya and Moses S. Lesolayia
Publication DateNovember 2001 SummaryThis study took place in the Hubai Village a small village in Hebei Province, China to learn how the villagers raise their children. The report is based on a study of ten village children between age one and three. Time was spent with each of the ten families, who had children that fell into the age group, observing their lives and engaging the caregivers in conversation about their children. The aim of this report was to learn about the villagers' childrearing experiences in their terms, in the context of observing their childrearing activities.

I am doing a report for school on child-rearing practices in other cultures. I chose China. This paper will help a GREAT deal. Thank you for making this available.
