Paper Summary

Maternal warmth plays a big role in how kind preschool children in China are. Kids with no siblings are more helpful than those with siblings. Being nice to kids makes them more helpful later on. Kids who are good at making friends are more likely to be helpful. Being nice to kids only makes them more helpful if they don't have siblings.
