Abstract: The present study aimed to examine the mechanism by which family cognitive environment, early child care experiences, and effortful control influenced the development in 0~3 year olds. The study involved 5914 parents of 0~3 year olds, using questionnaires and scales for data collection. Two primary results emerged from the study:(1) Children's effortful control mediated the relationship between family cognitive environment and child developmental outcomes; (2) Children's early child care experiences moderated the mediating effect of effortful control on the relationship between family cognitive environment and child developmental outcomes. When children had early child care experiences, the effect of family environment on children's effortful control was stronger.

Key words: 0~3 year olds, infant and toddler development, family cognitive environment, effortful control, early child care experiences
