Read excerpts from the book · Order now!

• There is a great deal of research on effective parenting in social science journals which is "hidden" from the people who need the information - actual parents.

  This book selects and translates a variety of important research findings and shares them with the general public. The Educated Parent has more detailed information than most "bookstore parenting books" yet it is reader-friendly.

• Parents need understandable, straightforward information to help them to be effective and positive parents.

  The Educated Parent provides this resource and the data to make informed choices in their child rearing behavior. This book can serve as a resource for parents as they negotiate their way through the many existing parenting and child care texts available, checking those advice books against real research findings.

• Parenting is a unique set of behaviors based upon values rooted in ethnicity, culture, and family-of-origin.

  No book can tell people how to parent, yet The Educated Parent provides information upon which parents can form well-informed, research-grounded approaches to raising their children within their family value systems.
