Abstract	The current study was designed to explore the cognitions of African-American mothers about the importance of the first 3 years of life for brain development, and to determine the relations between those cognitions and important parenting beliefs. We collected survey data over a 1-week period from a diverse sample of 222 African-American mothers waiting for preventive and minor acute care appointments in six pediatric waiting rooms in Memphis, TN. Latent Class Analysis revealed two groups of mothers: one that was aware of the importance of the first 3 years for brain development (about 56 %), and one that is less aware (about 44 %). Mothers in the two latent classes had significantly different parenting beliefs about spoiling versus nurturing and the importance of stable child care arrangements, but not about corporal punishment of infants. Poverty and education significantly affected latent class membership. Parenting education interventions might be better targeted and more effective when informed by participants’ understanding of early brain development.
