Parenting the first twelve years : what the evidence tells us

More about the book

"Why is parenting so fraught and so difficult in today's society? There has never been a time when advice was so easy to find and so much help available yet there is also a sense that parents are getting it wrong. This book examines the arguments and counter arguments supported by research on how best to parent children between the ages 0 and 12. 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." --Publisher description
