From the Publisher
Understanding parental roles. The book focuses on two basic tasks of parenting: creating close emotional relationships with children and establishing effective limits for children. It shows how parents carry out these tasks with children of different ages and with changing life circumstances (i.e. working parents, divorce).
Interviews with researchers and clinicians. Found in each chapter, interviews with 17 well-known researchers and clinicians in child development and personality discuss everyday situations that parents encounter.
The joys of parenting. Each chapter includes a section on the joys of parenting, reinforcing the positive aspects of being a parent.
Problem-solving strategies. The author presents and compares a wide variety of models and strategies linked to major theorists (Piaget, Erikson, and Freud) as well as parenting specialists (including Briggs, Dreikurs, Ginott, and Gordon).
Current research. Research on children's development has been updated to reflect the most recent findings found in the 1997 publication of The Handbook of Child Psychology.
Greater coverage of social and cultural influences. Each chapter includes expanded coverage on the role of social and cultural influences on parenting in terms of parents' goals for children and their choices of parenting strategies.
More on emotional regulation. A greater emphasis is placed on understanding strategies for promoting children's emotional regulation as it relates to children's competence in many areas, and parent's emotional regulation as it relates to effectiveness with children.
Focus on contemporary lifestyle changes. Chapter 5 discusses how changes in contemporary life lead to changes in parenting issues with expanded discussion of single-by-choice mothers and their transitions to parenting, greater attention to the role of fathers, and information on the stresses parents experience in the process of conception.
