Concrete, research-driven advice on humanity's oldest, hardest job
Why is parenting so fraught and so difficult in today's society? There
has never been a time when advice was so readily available, and yet
there is also a prevailing sense that parents are getting it wrong. This
book examines the arguments and counter-arguments supported by research
on how best to parent children, from birth to twelve years. By taking an
impartial approach to the evidence and, by discussing case studies from
across the world and from a number of academic disciplines, this book is
designed to show how good parenting comes in many shapes and forms.
