AB  - This paper studied the interrelationships between parenting information, family 
      care, and early childhood development (ECD) outcomes. A total of 1787 sample 
      households in rural China were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. A demographic 
      questionnaire, a parenting information questionnaire, the Family Care Indicators 
      (FCIs), and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development version III (BSID-III) were 
      used to measure demographic characteristics, parenting information that the 
      caregiver received, family care, and early development outcomes of the child, 
      respectively. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was then used to estimate the 
      interrelationships. The results showed that family care significantly mediated 
      between parenting information and ECD outcomes. Through family care, one standard 
      deviation (SD) increase in the parenting information was associated with the 
      increase in the child's four development outcomes (cognition, language, motor, 
      and social-emotion) by 3%, 4%, 4%, and 5% of one SD, respectively. Different 
      measurements of parenting information and different components of family care 
      played different roles in the interrelationships. The key findings of this study 
      are informative for providing early child development services in rural China.
