Research suggests that social support is associated with more sensitive parenting. Among low‐income ethnic minority mothers, social network size (Burchinal, Follmer, & Bryant, 1996) and material support from social networks (Feiring, Fox, Jaskir, & Lewis, 1987) have been associated with more engaged and responsive caregiving. Moreover, child attachment security has been linked to the family’s social support (e.g., Crnic, Greenberg, & Slough, 1986). However, research suggests that social support enhances caregiving, thus predicting attachment security, but it does not have a direct influence on attachment security (Belsky & Fearon, 2008).
