Summary

Adopting a dynamic rather than static perspective on parenting, this book emphasizes parents' capacity to modify their behavior as they respond to changes in their children and in their own lives. It highlights historical antecedents as well as methodological and theoretical issues. Designed for advanced courses focusing on the parent-child relationship, Parents and the Dynamics of Child Rearing should also appeal to those interested in the latest findings on parenting.
