  • More about Parenting and Child Development: Issues and Answers

Intimate partner violence, postpartum depression, and substance abuse are toxic stressors that diminish the quality of mother-child interaction and childhood is a sensitive period, during which cumulative exposure to adversities inhibits relationship quality, mother-child interaction, and subsequent child health and developmental outcomes. This book explores interventions to improve related outcomes, such as peer support and reflective functioning, and investigates the relationship between genetics, parent-child relationships, and child behavior.

In recent years, extensive research in the field of parenting has shed light on the detrimental impact of toxic stressors such as intimate partner violence, postpartum depression, and substance abuse on the quality of mother-child interaction. Furthermore, studies have revealed that childhood is a critical period when cumulative exposure to adversities hinders the development of healthy relationships, mother-child interaction, and subsequent child health and developmental outcomes. Researchers have dedicated their efforts to identifying vulnerable populations and implementing interventions aimed at improving these outcomes.

Parenting and Child Development: Issues and Answers, a comprehensive compilation of seminal studies authored by renowned researcher Dr. Nicole Letourneau, delves into the intricate mechanisms underlying the decline in parent-child interaction and child developmental outcomes among high-risk families. The book begins by exploring the factors that contribute to these challenges. It then presents promising findings from interventions focused on promoting parent-child interaction and healthy child development, such as peer support and reflective functioning. Additionally, the book includes insightful studies that examine the interplay between genetics, parent-child relationships, and child behavior.

By examining these diverse aspects, Parenting and Child Development: Issues and Answers provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors that shape parenting and child development. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals, policymakers, and parents seeking to enhance the well-being of families and promote positive outcomes for children. Through its insightful analysis and practical recommendations, this book contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve the lives of children and families.
