This book examines the many roles of families in their members'
food access, preferences, and consumption. It provides an overview
of factors - from micro- to macro-levels - that have been linked to
food insecurity and discusses policy approaches to reducing food
insecurity and hunger. In addition, it addresses the links between
food insecurity and overweight and obesity. The book describes
changes in the U.S. food environment that may explain increases in
obesity during recent decades. It explores relationships between
parenting practices and the development of eating behaviors in
children, highlighting the importance of family mealtimes in
healthful eating. The volume provides an overview of efforts to
prevent or reduce obesity in children, with attention to minority
populations and discusses research findings on targets for obesity
prevention, including a focus on fathers as change agents who play
a crucial, yet understudied, role in food parenting. The book
acknowledges that with the current obesigenic environment in the
United States and elsewhere around the world, additional and
innovative efforts are needed to foster healthful eating behavior
and orientations toward food in childhood and in families. This
book is a must-have resource for researchers, professors,
clinicians, professionals, and graduate students in developmental
psychology, family studies, public health as well as numerous
interrelated disciplines, including sociology, demography, social
work, prevention science, educational policy, political science,
and economics.

and positive development in rural settings. Featured topics

have implications for their relationships and the health and
well-being of their members. Attention is given to three aspects of
the physical environment-disasters, climate change, and the built

Chapters describe particular considerations within each of these
three physical environment challenges, the ways they affect
families, and factors that protect families, promote their
resilience and enable them to flourish. Finally, the volume offers
recommendations for the role of government programs and policies to
support families to overcome and/or adapt to environmental
challenges as well as highlights the efficacy of evidence-based
interventions aimed at promoting family resilience.Featured areas
of coverage include: Extreme natural events and families'
postdisaster recovery. Family adaptations to climate change. The

This book examines the similarities in children's short- and
long-term development and adjustment when they have been separated
from their parents because of larger institutional forces. It
addresses the unique circumstances and the similarities faced by
parents and children under three different institutional contexts
of separation: parental migration and deportation, parental
incarceration, and parental military deployment. Chapters describe
the difficulties faced by families in each of these circumstances,
along with the challenges in conducting research under the
multidimensional and dynamic complexities of parent-child
separation. Finally, the volume offers recommendations for creating
supportive structures and interventions for families facing
separation that can bolster youth well-being in childhood and
beyond. Featured areas of coverage include: * Parental migration. *
Parental incarceration. * Parental military deployment. *
Undocumented migration and deportation. * Child-parent relationship
and child resilience and adjustment. Parent-Child Separation is a
must-have resource for researchers, professors, clinicians,
professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology,
family studies, public health, clinical social work, educational
policy, and migration studies as well as all interrelated
disciplines, including sociology, criminology, demography,
prevention science, political science, and economics.
