Parent-Child Relations : History, Theory, Research, and Context

Book Description
Unique in its contextual approach to its subject, this well-researched, applied, brief new book explores "parenting through the lifespan." In-depth coverage of parenting strategies supports all of the book’s content and guidance. It takes a cross-cultural look at five major aspects of parent—child relations—the history, philosophy, and theories of childrearing; variations in childrearing patterns; parent—child relations from a developmental perspective; challenges presented by special needs and situations; and child socialization strategies. Early on, the author examines how cultural beliefs affect parent—child relations and explores the influence of variations in families regarding marital status, sexual orientation, and non-parent adult care giving, and non-parent adult care giving. For professionals who work with children, parents and guardians, and other caregivers.
