Compared to parents with lower levels of education, parents with higher levels of education tend to spend more time with their children (Guryan et al., 2008), use more varied and complex language (Hart and Risley, 1995; Hoff, 2003), and engage in parenting practices that
promote socioemotional development (Duncan et al., 1994; McLoyd, 1997; Bradley and Corwyn, 2002).
