Recognize the hidden costs and rewards of childrearing!The Effect
of Children on Parents, Second Edition, thoughtfully explores the
interactions by which parents and children change, develop, and
sometimes affect each other negatively. Everyone knows that parents
influence their children, but few people consider the ways in which
children affect their parents. The love, satisfaction, and
fulfillment children offer can change parents'lives. So can the
stress, worry, and financial drain. The Effect of Children on
Parents, Second Edition, honestly confronts these long-neglected
issues of family dynamics. Taking a unique interdisciplinary
approach, this book describes in great detail, with jargon-free
language the various aspects of children's effects on their
parents. This second edition contains an abundance of fresh
information, including nine entirely new chapters that deal with
such complex topics as the effects on parents of children with
emotional, behavioral, and delinquency problems. The Effect of
Children on Parents, Second Edition, asks and answers essential
questions on the parent-child dynamic, including: what role does
genetic inheritance play in children's responses to their parents?
how do peers influence children and through them, their parents?
what happens to parents when children are difficult or have
emotional problems? what special considerations apply to minority
or adoptive parents? how do adult childrem affect their aging
parents? how does society support or undermine parents? what
roadblocks prevent parents from being as effective as they would
like to be? The Effect of Children on Parents, Second Edition,
takes a brave look at this often ignored area of family dynamics,
giving a richer, more complex, and ultimately more healing view of
how humans interact in families. Professors, students, and experts
in the fields of child development, family studies, and sociology
of childhood and family will find this book a sophisticated tool in
their desire to better understand and help families and children.

The most interdisciplinary, integrated text on poverty, The Web of
Poverty: Psychosocial Perspectives gives you a full understanding
of poverty and its consequences, equipping you to affect social
change. This unique book examines the social and personal causes of
poverty, focusing on the consequences of poverty at the
neighborhood and school levels and on families, children, and
youth. Ethnic and racial minorities are considered throughout the
text, and a chapter is devoted to the interface of poverty,
segregation, and discrimination. The Web of Poverty helps you
clearly see the effects of poverty by considering the cultural and
social contexts of victims'lives. In doing so, it fills a gap in
the literature caused by books that overlook personal issues and
data related to individual experiences. Chapters address
contentious and sensitive issues within a critical psychosocial
perspective that informs concepts such as the subculture of
poverty, social pathologies, and the "overclass." Many of the
topics and perspectives you'll explore in its pages are rarely
considered together in one volume. Specifically, you'll read about:
the plight of impoverished mothers and their children a comparison
of the poverty of disadvantaged African Americans and poor white
Americans health disadvantages of the poor the effects of poverty
on school systems and the quality of education students receive the
factors of age, race, and ethnicity that can lead to poverty a
refutation of the notion of genetic inferiority of the poorPoverty
is often the cause of other social ills such as delinquency, which
can destroy the social fabric of neighborhoods and limit
opportunities to escape impoverished situations. The Web of Poverty
will help you accurately see poverty as part of this "big picture."
It contains material from the fields of sociology, developmental
psychology, family studies, economics, delinquency, ethnic studies,
health, and behavior genetics. This amalgamation gives you a
thorough psychosocial perspective.
