A model is presented linking two general classes offamily resources to forms of child competence. Resources are divided into "family structure resources, "such as parental income, education, and occupation, and "family process resources, "such as parental expectations, help, and attention. Data from an Australian survey of children in families are used to assess the relative contributions of each class of resources to four forms of child competence: reading ability, self-esteem, everyday skills, and social competence. Results indicated that reading ability was related to both structural resources and interpersonal process resources. Self-esteem, however, was mainly associated with interpersonal process resources. Everyday-skills performance was only weakly associated with process resources, and social competence was weakly associated with both sets of resources. Generally, the relationships between family resources andforms of competence were strongerfor younger children than for adolescents.
