* 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

This vital volume advances understanding of how parenting from
childhood to adolescence changes or remains the same in a variety
of sociodemographic, psychological, and cultural contexts,
providing a truly global understanding of parenting across
cultures. Through the Parenting Across Cultures project, the
editors unveil findings from this hugely important comparative
longitudinal study of parents and children in China, Colombia,
Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the
United States. The volume offers insight into trajectories of
parenting, exploring parents' warmth, control, rules setting, and
knowledge of children's activities and whereabouts. Each chapter is
authored by a contributor native to the country examined,
guaranteeing an authentic emic perspective, and together the
chapters provide a broader sample that is more generalizable to a
wider range of the world's population than is typical in most
parenting research. Parenting Across Cultures From Childhood to
Adolescence is essential reading for researchers and students of
parenting, psychology, human development, family studies,
sociology, and cultural anthropology, as well as professionals
working with families.
