Maternal motivations and prior experience with early childhood education directly linked to a child’s performance in school. Considering the following information, it is evident that maternal attitudes are a mechanism for reducing gender inequity in education:
Maternal education has a strong impact on infant and child mortality: a child whose mother can read is 50% more likely to live past the age of 5.
Maternal cognitive skill is a key explanatory variable for children’s cognitive development differences between ethnic groups.
A child’s exposure to an early learning environment is specifically shaped by the mother’s early learning experiences.
Mothers, specifically those of immigrant or low income status, often seek out early learning programs that mirror their early learning experiences.

Parental attitudes have a direct impact on child development, socialization/norms, and student achievement. One aspect of social-cognitive theory is the importance of modeling of gender roles, behaviors and expectations. In this way, parents play a vital role in the construction of gender identity in the early years. Parents have long been considered children’s first teachers. Parental roles serve as the earliest model of gender roles in a child’s life and parental attitudes and practices regarding gender can influence and shape children’s early experiences (Derman‐Sparks & Ramsey, 1993; Lin, 2008).
