Using family systems theory, the book examines the evolution of the family, the stages of family system development, and the challenges faced by all types of families.

Topics include: Dimensions of Parenthood; Ethnic Diversity of Contemporary American Families; Parenting Strategies; Theoretical Perspectives; The Transition to Parenthood; Childbirth and the Newborn; Parenting Infants and Toddlers; Parenting Young Children; Parenting School-Age Children; Parenting Adolescents and Young Adults; Parenting in Single-Parent Family Systems; Parenting in Stepfamily Systems; Parenting in High-Risk Families; and Special Challenges in Parenting.

From the Publisher

A new edition of this pioneer text...one that explores relations between parents and children from a developmental perspective, a perspective enhanced in the Fourth Edition by the introduction of family systems theory as a starting point for helping students understand how relationships grow and change over time. The text examines developmental and environmental factors which affect parent-child relations, as well as the often discounted influence children exert on adult parenting behavior over the lifespan.
