Resumen
Stimulated
by the publication of The Nurture Assumption by Judith Rich
Harris, Parenting and the Child's World was conceived around the
notion that there are multiple sources of influence on children's development,
including parenting behavior, family resources, genetic and other biological
factors, as well as social influences from peers, teachers, and the community
at large.
The text's 39 contributors search for when, where, and how parenting matters
and the major antecedents and moderators of effective parenting. The chapters
focus on the major conceptual issues and empirical approaches that underlie our
understanding of the importance of parenting for child development in academic,
socio-emotional, and risk-taking domains. Additional goals are to show how
culture and parenting are interwoven, to chart future research directions, and
to help parents and professionals understand the implications of major research
findings.
