Rezensionen
"This book gives an account of western parenting culture in the 21st century and its historical development. ... The authors aim to highlight parental determinism as a key issue of modern parenting culture which has provided a catalyst for transforming the everyday mundanities of parenting into issues of concern for the structures and institutions of western society. In these endeavours the authors, undoubtedly, succeed and, in doing so, provide an accessible yet scholarly read." (Victoria Earley, Sociology, Vol. 50 (3), June, 2016)

"This text would be useful for those new to parenting studies as it provides a clear and accessible overview of the field. The bullet pointed chapter summaries at the end of each chapter and the beginning of each essay makes the book a useful educational resource ... . the detailed analysis and stimulating arguments in relation to specific areas of contemporary parenting culture makes the text worthwhile reading for those already knowledgeable of the existing literature." (Michelle Webster, The Sociological Review, Vol. 63 (1), May, 2015)
