Reich's scholarship explores direct and indirect influences (i.e., transactions) on the child, specifically through the family, online, and school environment. Her research on the family has focused on parenting behaviors and the direct and moderational influences of maternal knowledge, efficacy, support, and home and community environment on development. In conjunction with colleagues, she has created a series of baby books to help first-time mothers and fathers with young children (9 to 30 months of age) who speak English or Spanish read books designed specifically for their babies. Reich is director of the School's Development in Social Context Lab.
