LENA Grow and Self-Esteem in Young Children

In this report, we examine the role conversational turns may play in a child’s early development of self-esteem. We also examine the role LENA Grow — a professional development program designed to increase interactions between teachers and children — may play in supporting self-esteem among children in early childhood education settings.
