Handbook of Diversity in Parent Education: The Changing Faces of Parenting and Parent Education Marvin J. Fine Editor

Traditionally, books on parent education have focused on techniques from a certain tradition, either behavioral or humanistic, that could be applied to any problem of parenting or child behavior change. These books have used a cook-book approach that is frequently oblivious to environmental conditions that influence behavior or take into account the individual differences of the children or families involved. This book highlights the complexity of our society and times by exploring the problems faced by diverse types of parents, children, and parenting situations. Moreover, the sensitive issues of parenting in unique populations are handled in a caring, straight-forward way with an emphasis on research-based parent education programs along with tips and strategies for everyday use.Premier text on parent education in diverse populationsFeatures tips, strategies, websites and support for parentsBased upon cutting edge research in parent educationModels for developing problem-specific parenting programsStep-by-step parent education programs for low-incidence problemsFeatures violence and crisis prevention and intervention skills for families
