Abstract	This report compares two parent education groups with a control group on three measures of maternal knowledge and attitudes. The subjects were low income Black mothers with 18- to 24-month-old toddlers as of the beginning of the 2-year programs in 1974. The two programs were Levenstein's Toy Demonstration Program, in which mothers (N=26) observed demonstrators modeling playing with their children in the home, and a mothers' discussion program, in which the mothers (N=26) shared experiences of personhood, home and family life. There were 31 control group mothers. The three measures employed in interviews were (1) maternal individuation (expressions of sensitivity to the child's needs as a developing person and openness to alternative perspectives on controlling children's behavior), (2) ability to give developmental explanations of child behavior and (3) expressed perceptions of the mother's role as a teacher. Although significant differences among groups were found at the end of the first year, they were not found at the end of the second year. Findings are presented in three tables. (Author/BH)
