Parenting Today's Children: A Developmental Perspective

PARENTING TODAY'S CHILDREN uses the latest research and strong pedagogical features to prepare readers to work effectively with parents and children at all stages of development. A developmentally-based framework helps students and practitioners form and retain connections between developmental topics and the various age groups along a progressive timeline, thereby supporting meaningful learning and fostering their critical thinking skills. This approach also promotes an understanding of ecological variables, their influence on child-rearing problems, and effective response strategies. In addition, the text emphasizes developmentally appropriate behavioral strategies that parents can use to guide children in an effective and positive manner. It can be used as a core textbook in two- and four-year colleges, in secondary and vocational schools, and in graduate-level courses in which the research and theoretical bases of parenting and family interventions are addressed.
