           Age 2: Findings From the 2-Year-Old Follow-up of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) 

            This E.D. TAB is the first report produced using data from the second round of data collection for the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), a study of a nationally representative sample of children born in the year 2001. The report provides descriptive information about these children when they were about 2 years old. It presents information on selected child and family characteristics, on children's mental and physical skills, on children's attachment relationships with their primary caregivers, on their first experiences in child care, and on their fathers. The report profiles data for this population of children both overall and for various subgroups (i.e., males and females, children from different racial/ethnic groups, poor and nonpoor children, and children living in different types of families). 

            Among the findings:

            *  21 percent lived in poverty, and 14 percent of children born in 2001 lived in poverty both when they were about 9 months old and when they were about 2 years old;

            * 61 percent were classified as having a secure attachment relationship with their mothers, with Black and Hispanic children less likely than White children to have a secure attachement;

            *  49 percent, received care from someone other than a parent on a regular basis;

            *  Of those in center-based care, 9 percent were in what was considered low-quality care, 66 percent were in medium-quality care, and 24 percent were in high-quality care, according to assessments conducted by trained
            observers.
