d.) concerted cultivation.
FEEDBACK: Annette Lareau's research on parents' social class showed that middle-class families practice what she termed "concerted cultivation": structuring children's time with formal activities. Often, this means that children learn how to interact with adults, follow rules, and manage schedules. By contrast, many lower-income families focus on the "accomplishment of natural growth" by allowing their children to decide how they want to structure their free time.
