Invaluable in providing vivid illustrations of the strengths and
needs of young parents who have been 'looked after' and, therefore
of their children at the start of their lives. It illuminates
policy and practice implications and points the way forward to what
needs to be done to ameliorate their lives. Throughout, it presents
its research in an accessible style and measured tone that make it
difficult to put down.' - Extract from the Foreword by Ann Phoenix,
Co-Director of the Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of
Education, University of London Supporting Young Parents explores
early pregnancy and parenthood from the perspectives of young men
and women in and leaving care. Most discussion about teenage
pregnancy and parenthood focuses on the negative consequences for
teenagers and their children. Yet, for some young people,
particularly those who have been disadvantaged in life, early
parenthood may offer the security of a family life, a sense of
stability and an opportunity to build emotional attachments. This
book draws on authoritative research into the reasons for and
experiences of pregnancy and parenthood among young people from
local authority care. It questions the assumptions that early
parenthood always limits young people's choices and opportunities
and examines the types of support most likely to enable successful
parenting. This book will be essential reading for community
nurses, health visitors, social workers, academics and students
working in the fields of health, education and social care.
