Many parents begin actively capitalizing on their children’s rapidly developing verbal abilities and engage them more fully in conversations about emotions. However, given the relative newness of this topic, few researchers have investigated whether there are stable, individual differences in parents’ use of emotion talk during their children’s toddler and preschool years. Several studies have examined early emotion conversations and then traced their sequelae without establishing whether parents who engage in more frequent emotion talk with their toddlers continue to use high levels of emotion talk as the children age (Dunn & Brown, 1993). Previous studies have also emphasized mothers’, but neglected fathers’, emotion talk with children (Brown & Dunn, 1991). The present study is unique in that we explored early emotion talk by both mothers and fathers and traced the stability of such talk over time. Previous work suggests a general increase in overall use of emotion talk by parents as children mature. For example, Dunn and Brown (1993), studying naturally occumng conversations between mothers and children, reported that the
