“…Reese and Fivush (1993) examined fatherchild and mother child pastreminiscing and found no significant differences between mothers' and fathers' narrative styles. Additionally, recent research on parent dis course suggests that motherchild and fatherchild conversations are quite similar in the forms and frequency of language, thus providing generally equivalent linguistic environments (Cristofaro & TamisLeMonda, 2008;LaBounty, Wellman, Olson, Lagattuta, & Liu, 2008;Rowe, Coker, & Pan, 2004;TamisLeMonda, Shannon, Cabrera, & Lamb, 2004).
