Synopsis:

This timely volume presents a rich picture of the lives of parents with young children in the U.S. Using the first national survey on parents with young children, a diverse group of scholars present new information about what parents do, the economic and social challenges they face, and the resources they use to improve their children's health and development. The analyses and insights provided by this book will be invaluable for policy makers as well as others involved in public health, social work, law, medicine, psychology, sociology, and child development.

Review: "We know a great deal about children's behavior, but heartbreakingly little about what their parents do, believe, and need. The findings of Child Rearing in America are sometimes shocking and frequently sobering, but always they represent a sense of hope. The information in this book represents a cutting edge and critical part of the foundation on which we must develop social policies and programs to support parents and benefit the next generation of American children. It should be in the library of everyone who is concerned about families and about family policy." Edward Zigler, Yale University
