presents demographics and characteristics of the participants and their parents by gender and age (Grades 1–4 and Grades 5–8) groups. To examine group differences in demographics, chi-square tests were conducted for categorical outcome variables while one way analyses of variance (ANOVA) were conducted for continuous outcome variables. In the current sample, older girls were less likely to be the single child in the family as compared to the other three groups (p < .05); older boys were less likely to be the single child than younger boys (p < .05). Mothers of older girls were less educated than mothers of younger boys and girls (p < .05); mothers of older boys were less educated than mothers of younger boys (p < .01). In addition, mothers of older boys were more likely to be unemployed than mothers of younger boys and girls (p < .02). There were no significant differences in fathers’ educational levels and employment status, and family types among the four groups
