Produktbeschreibung
Parenting with a Psychological Perspective is two books in one. The first section is more conceptual, adding information from theory and research, while the second section describes developmental progress in age-related chapters. The intent of the author is to be both informative and interesting and to increase confidence in making child-rearing choices. This book keeps in mind the ultimate goal: raising an emotionally healthy adult. Parents and others who are interested in the growth of children, and up to the challenge, will discover significant and substantial information, embedded in a philosophy that is practical and full of common sense. Dr. Griffiths uses her career-long knowledge in the fields of Child Development and Psychology, her own research, as well as her hands-on experience as a child and family therapist to give a broad perspective. Her role as mother and grandmother adds to the comprehensive nature of the text.
