This highly anticipated third edition of the Handbook of Parenting
brings together an array of field-leading experts who have worked
in different ways toward understanding the many diverse aspects of
parenting. Contributors to the Handbook look to the most recent
research and thinking to shed light on topics every parent,
professional, and policymaker wonders about. Parenting is a
perennially "hot" topic. After all, everyone who has ever lived has
been parented, and the vast majority of people become parents
themselves. No wonder bookstores house shelves of "how-to"
parenting books and magazine racks in pharmacies and airports
overflow with periodicals that feature parenting advice. However,
almost none of these is evidence-based. The Handbook of Parenting
is. Period. Each chapter has been written to be read and absorbed
in a single sitting, and includes historical considerations of the
topic, a discussion of central issues and theory, a review of
classical and modern research, and forecasts of future directions
of theory and research. Together, the five volumes in the Handbook
cover Children and Parenting, the Biology and Ecology of Parenting,
Being and Becoming a Parent, Social Conditions and Applied
Parenting, and the Practice of Parenting. Volume 1, Children and
Parenting, considers parenthood as a functional status in the life
cycle: Parents protect, nurture, and teach their progeny, even if
human development is more dynamic than can be determined by
parental caregiving alone. Volume 1 of the Handbook of Parenting
begins with chapters concerned with how children influence
parenting. Notable are their more obvious characteristics, like
child age or developmental stage; but subtler ones, like child
gender, physical state, temperament, mental ability, and other
individual-differences factors, are also instrumental. The chapters
in Part I, on Parenting across the Lifespan, discuss the unique
rewards and special demands of parenting children of different ages
and stages - infants, toddlers, youngsters in middle childhood, and
adolescents-as well as the modern notion of parent-child
relationships in emerging adulthood, adulthood, and old age. The
chapters in Part II, on Parenting Children of Varying Status,
discuss common issues associated with parenting children of
different genders and temperaments as well as unique situations of
parenting adopted and foster children and children with a variety
of special needs, such as those with extreme talent, born preterm,
who are socially withdrawn or aggressive, or who fall on the
autistic spectrum, manifest intellectual disabilities, or suffer a
chronic health condition.
