* Provides much-needed perspective on parenting in low- and
middle-income countries, where the majority of parenting research
still focuses on WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich,
democratic) countries. * Compares data about four specific domains
of parenting (Caregiving, Discipline, Environment and Public
Health) in relation to development in children 1-5 years of age in
more than 50 countries, advancing knowledge of both parenting and
child development in diverse LMIC contexts. * The book is timely
and particularly needed as researchers and practitioners
increasingly emphasize the importance of understanding how
parenting and child development are influenced by cultural contexts

Socioeconomic Status, Parenting, and Child Development presents
cutting-edge thinking and research on linkages among socioeconomic
status, parenting, and child development. The contributors
represent an array of different disciplines, and approach the
issues from a variety of perspectives. Accordingly, their "take" on
how SES matters in the lives of children varies. This volume is
divided into two parts. Part I concerns the constructs and
measurement of SES and Part II discusses the functions and effects
of SES. Each part presents four substantive chapters on the topic
followed by an interpretive and constructively critical commentary.
The chapters--considered as a whole--attest to the value of
systematically examining the components of SES and how each flows
through an array of specific parenting practices and resources both
within and outside the home environment to help shape the course of
child development. The result is a more fully delineated picture of
how SES impacts the lives of children in the 21st century--a
picture that contains a road map for the next generation of studies
of SES and its role in the rapidly evolving ecology of family life.

The focus of this Element is on the environment and how it is
implicated in children's development.A very broad array of social
and physical features connected to children's home life and to the
neighborhoods where children live, including multiple aspects of
parenting, housing characteristics and the increased prevalence of
media in daily life are addressed.Attention is also given to the
broader social, economic, and geographic contexts in which children
live, such as neighborhood surroundings and conditions in less
developed countries.There is a focus on how various aspects of the
home context (e.g., crowding) and key parental characteristics,
such as mental illness and substance abuse problems, affect the
behavior of parents. Consideration also given to how various forms
of chaos and instability present challenges for parents and
children and how those circumstances are implicated in both
children's development and caregiver behavior.
