Synopsis

In the past, the most common family structure was the nuclear family : a married mother and father and their children. Today, family groups are more flexible, and children may be raised in households with a step-parent and step- or half-siblings, or by unmarried, lone or same-sex parents. In addition, parents often no longer adhere to traditional gender roles in raising children and working patterns have therefore changed. This book looks at the changing shape of the family, at different methods and styles of parenting and at issues for working parents.
