Contemporary Parenting and Parenthood is a book I edited, with chapters on varied topics from many great social scientists!
Headlines from news sources are combined with the latest and best social science research to offer scholars, practitioners, and parents a much-needed source for understanding contemporary American parenthood.
- Includes up-to-date research on parenting topics covered in news stories
- Helps to clarify parenting debates through sociological inquiry, instead of giving advice on how to parent
- Serves multiple audiences, including students and practitioners in professions working with parent-child relationships, scholars looking for the best new research in the field of parenting and parenthood, and parents who want to understand the larger context in which they operate on a daily basis
- Offers a range of viewpoints on parenting issues in a clearly organized format
