Summary

The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS) is designed to provide decision makers, researchers, child care providers, teachers, and parents with detailed information about children's early life experiences. The birth cohort of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-B) looks at children's health, development, care, and education during the formative years from birth through first grade. This second wave of the data was collected when the cohort was approximately two years of age. During the two-year collection, the BSF-R again was used to measure cognitive and motor development. A different taped interaction, the Two Bags Task, was used to assess children's socioemotional development. A modified Q-sort was included in the two-year collection to assess the quality of children's attachment to their primary caregiver. Again, all children had their height, weight, and middle-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measured, and children born with very low birth weight had their head circumference measured.
