Filled with relevant, expert, and practical child-rearing
information, this invaluable guide also helps parents understand
and utilize parenting resources ranging from scientific research to
Internet sites to the popular press. Taking up where the 2004
edition of The Educated Parent left off, Child Rearing in the 21st
Century is a must-have guide to parenting best practices. Author
Joseph D. Sclafani, a psychologist and family therapist, highlights
the different approaches to child rearing and provides practical
advice about which approaches work best and why. Topics covered
range from the role of the parent as supporter/protector to the
efficacy of daycare and the ways parents can prepare for and assist
in a child's education. The book also looks at parenting after a
divorce, at the importance of fathers in children's lives, and at
such 21st-century issues as cyberbullying and the anxiety-producing
effects of societal pressures. One of the unique aspects of the
book is that it presents and explains expert knowledge from
journals and research studies that are often inaccessible to the
everyday reader. Centers of parenting advice such as the Internet
and parenting magazines are evaluated as well. References stress
