Summary

This pilot study tests a simple idea: giving African American children ages 2-4 self-esteem themed books and advice during regular doctor visits. Researchers want to see if this helps parents reinforce positive self-concept and improves children's behavior and early reading skills. About 134 children and their parents will take part to see if the approach is practical and effective.
