A Dynamic Perspective

About this book

Parenting: A Dynamic Perspective explores the interaction between parents and children as they shape each other over time. George Holden and new co-author Amanda Harrist present the latest research on parenting in an engaging and accessible manner. The updated Fourth Edition addresses contemporary issues, such as media influence, diverse family dynamics, and societal challenges, drawing on interdisciplinary research and perspectives. The text takes a life course perspective, exploring the parent-child relationship from the prenatal and infant period through adulthood through an ecological lens.  Readers will have a deeper understanding of effective parenting in a healthy society and will be equipped to apply knowledge to their own lives.
