Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mothers' knowledge of developmental norms, various aspects of the mother-child interaction and children's social competence. Seventy mother-child pairs participated in this study. Children's social competence was assessed both behaviorally and cognitively and mothers' knowledge of developmental norms was also evaluated. Mother-child pairs were observed and video-recorded during two conditions: a spontaneous three-minute waiting period and a semi-structured, seven-minute period in which mothers were asked to prepare their children to meet and play with a less socially skilled child.
