Abstract
Examined the relations among maternal substance use, neglectful parent ing, and early childhood development among 51 women with a history of substance use and a comparison group of 67 women. Maternal substance u se was not related to neglectful parenting or children's cognitive, mo tor, or language development. Neglectful parenting was not related to children's cognitive, motor, or expressive language development; howev er, younger children and those from safer, cleaner, more organized hom es had better receptive language.
