The Process of Parenting. 8th Edition

The Process of Parenting is a comprehensive introduction to parenting that describes the many ways parents and caregivers can translate their love and concern for children into effective parenting behavior. With a strong emphasis on the developmental process and on the changing nature of parent-children relationships over time, the book presents a wide range of theories and research with a focus on real-life applications. Because parents and children are distinct individuals, a problem-solving approach is emphasized that can help parents arrive at solutions that fit them, their children, and their life circumstances. Two basic tasks of parenting are emphasized as ultimate ends: creating close emotional relationships with children and supporting the development of children's full potential.

Literacy Begins at Home

Early literacy is developed when we sing a lullaby, listen and respond to a baby’s babbling,   say a mealtime prayer, read the directions for making pancakes, or write an email to grandma. All of these meaningful activities help children learn language, vocabulary, and the purpose of print. These are the skills they need to be good readers. Participate in this webinar to find out more about family literacy, consider what you are already doing and learn new ideas. The presenter is Angèle Sancho Passe, author of Is Everybody Ready for Kindergarten? A toolkit for preparing children and families (Redleaf Press, 2010)
