Description
Parenting: What Really Counts? explores what matters most for children's healthy psychological development. It examines whether family structure, parental presence, genetic link, or heterosexuality have an impact on children's daily experiences. The book considers the quality of the child's relationship with parents, other family members, and the wider social world, revealing that common assumptions about family structure are not supported by scientific evidence. Instead, Susan Golombok argues that what really counts is the child's individual experience. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, teachers, and parents considering non-traditional parenting routes. It also offers valuable insights for professionals working with families and those involved in developing family policy.
