Book excerpt: Grounded in pioneering research, this text examines the parenting strategies that help children and adolescents develop into productive, happy members of society. Rather than advocating one "best" style of parent-child interaction, the author identifies five domains of socialization and shows that different ways of responding to children are appropriate for each one. Chapters on each domain combine theory, empirical findings, cross-cultural considerations, and real-world applications. Personal recollections from diverse young adults illustrate how parents helped impart important life lessons. Learning exercises present examples of children's behavior and invite the reader to select the most effective parenting action from several possible options. -- From publisher's description.
