Family Environment Instability:
How early childhood shapes
social
maladjustments over time
Early family contexts can shape the trajectories of
children’s adjustment throughout childhood. Families can provide a safe and
stable base for children that is protective against adversity. However, when
family environments are not stable (e.g., when parents/parent figures are
moving in and out of the home), children may suffer.
Join Dr. Elizabeth
Karberg of Child Trends as she explores how family instability in early childhood
shapes children’s social (mal)adjustment over time.
Objectives:Webinar attendees will learn:
- How
families in America are changing and what are common contexts for children’s
early family experiences.

in families is linked with children’s social outcomes.

programming and interventions to support children’s positive development.
