Featured article: The role of length of maternity leave in supporting mother–child interactions and attachment security among American mothers and their infants
Maternity leave policies are linked to early childhood education and care policies, and the length of leave policies determines the need for early care programs. The length of maternity leave varies greatly among mothers in the U.S. because of the absence of a universal policy for paid leave. This study examined associations among length of maternity leave, mother–child interactions, and attachment among American working mothers and their infants.
