But do parents know just how significant they are? Last month, Zero to Three, a nonprofit advocacy organization, and the Bezos Family Foundation, released the results of a survey with a nationally representative sample of 2,200 parents on that very question. The study – "Tuning In: Parents of Young Children Speak Up About What They Think, Know, and Need" – found that across all socioeconomic and racial/ethnic groups, parents are deeply committed to parenting well. Yet many don't fully recognize how influential they are on their child's development.
