About this title

From the Back Cover:

This research-based book focuses on acquainting readers with parenting in three major areas: (1) concepts, challenges, and changes; (2) diverse family types; and (3) risks and alternatives. The authors believe that there is no “recipe” for effective parenting behavior, but instead offer a number of strategies, skills, insights, and resources that can assist parents.
