“…ParentCorps is a family-centered enhancement to pre-Kindergarten in historically disinvested neighborhoods and includes home and classroom components, as well as a child component which directly supports healthy eating, activity, and emotion regulation (Dawson-McClure et al, 2022). Trials in New York City schools demonstrate that ParentCorps is working as intended, and that changes in children's proximal environments during this critical developmental period lead to sustained improvements across three domains: academic achievement, physical and mental health (Brotman et al, 2011(Brotman et al, , 2012(Brotman et al, , 2013(Brotman et al, , 2016Dawson-McClure et al, 2015).…”

“…Facilitators explicitly affirm parents’ inherent value, actively support their autonomy, and honor culture as important and adaptive ( Garcia-Coll et al, 1996 ). In this context of being seen, heard, and cared for – parents share about their lived racial experiences, reflect on sources of support in their community, and consider changes in alignment with their values and beliefs ( Dawson-McClure et al, 2022 ).…”

We present a conceptual model of the ways in which built and social environments shape the development of self-regulation in early childhood. Importantly, in centering children of color growing up in historically disinvested neighborhoods, we first describe how systemic structures of racism and social stratification have shaped neighborhood built and social environment features. We then present evidence linking these neighborhood features to children’s development of self-regulation. Furthermore, we take a multilevel approach to examining three potential pathways linking neighborhood contexts to self-regulation: school environment and resources, home environment and resources, and child health behaviors. Finally, we consider how racial-ethnic-cultural strengths and multilevel interventions have the potential to buffer children’s development of self-regulation in disinvested neighborhood contexts. Advancing multilevel approaches to understand the development of self-regulation among children of color living in historically disinvested neighborhoods is an important step in efforts to promote equity in health and education.
