Note: Each interaction for each type of behavioral problems comes from a separate model. Every interaction model controls for child’s birth year, number of siblings, early academic skills in 2000, family income per capita in 2000. In addition, for the four interaction variables, when one is used to interact with a type of behavioral problems, the other three variables are used as control variables.

The reference category for father’s education is middle school. Unit for family income per capita is 1,000 yuan.
