This document summarizes initial findings from a study on poverty and parenting. It examines measures of parenting, data on the relationship between parenting practices, poverty, education and time, and profiles of parents engaged in different activities with their children. The study found no evidence of a group of "poor parents" doing "poor parenting". Instead, most parents engage in activities with children multiple days a week, and highly educated parents are more likely to do so daily. The conclusions suggest rethinking assumptions about poor parenting and poverty, and focusing more on the parenting practices of highly educated families.
