The Family Context of Parenting in Children's Adaptation to
Elementary School is a result of a longitudinal prevention study of
100 families begun the year before their first children entered
kindergarten. Each family went through an assessment and then a
subset was randomly chosen for group intervention. The children in
both groups were then studied as they progressed through
kindergarten and first grade to assess the quality of their
adaptation to the school environment. The text focuses on how
parent-child relationships are only one determinant of a child's
academic competence, social competence, and behavior. Rather, these
relationships must be understood in the context of the role they
play within the family as a system. It also addresses the recent
challenges to claims about the impact of parents on their
children's development. The book sheds additional light on family
influences within the larger social environment as a key
determinant of the quality of children's adjustment to schooling.
It appeals to scientists, professionals, and parents alike.
