Stimulated by the publication of The Nurture Assumption by Judith
Rich Harris, Parenting and the Child's World was conceived around
the notion that there are multiple sources of influence on
children's development, including parenting behavior, family
resources, genetic and other biological factors, as well as social
influences from peers, teachers, and the community at large. The
text's 39 contributors search for when, where, and how parenting
matters and the major antecedents and moderators of effective
parenting. The chapters focus on the major conceptual issues and
empirical approaches that underlie our understanding of the
importance of parenting for child development in academic,
socio-emotional, and risk-taking domains. Additional goals are to
show how culture and parenting are interwoven, to chart future
research directions, and to help parents and professionals
understand the implications of major research findings.
