Abstract
The current report provides a new framework to explore the role of parenting practices andprinciples during infancy. We identify structure and attunement as key parenting princi-ples during infancy. Structure represents reliance on regularity and routines in daily life.Attunement represents reliance on infant cues and close physical contact. We suggest par-ents’ relative endorsement of these parenting principles is related to their choices aboutpractices such as feeding, holding and night-time sleeping. We designed the Baby CareQuestionnaire to measure parents’ endorsement of structure and attunement, as well astheir daily parenting practices. We report data demonstrating the factor structure, reliabil-ity and validity of the BCQ. The BCQ, to our knowledge, is the first comprehensive measure ofparenting practices and principles during infancy. We conclude with a discussion of futuredirections for the measure.
