There were significant differences in total neglect, physical neglect, emotional neglect and educational neglect rate in families with different number of children (χ²=31.42, 4.65, 28.12, 0.75, P < 0.05). There were significant differences in emotional neglect and educational neglect (t=19.57, 2.67, P < 0.05). The neglect rates in families with more than two children were significantly higher than those of families with two children. The prevalence of general neglect, emotional neglect, educational neglect, and severity of general neglect, emotional neglect, educational neglect in multi-child families were higher than those of single-child families, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Factors associated with child negle in multi-child families included child personality, age gap between siblings, number of children in the family, family income and maternal educational level (OR=1.55, 1.59, 1.92, 0.74, 0.58, P < 0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of neglect among preschool children in multi-child families in Ningbo is higher than that in single-child families, especially in emotional and educational neglect.
