The family generally, and parenting specifically, are today in a greater state of flux, question, and redefinition than perhaps ever before.

TheHandbookofParentingisconcernedwithallfacetsofparenting. Despitethefactthatmostpeoplebecomeparentsandeveryonewhohaseverlivedhashadparents, parenting remains a most mystifying subject.

It is the entrusted and abiding task of parents to prepare theiroffspringforthephysical,psychosocial,andeconomicconditionsinwhichtheywilleventu- ally fare and, it is hoped, flourish. Amidst the many influences on child development, parents are the“finalcommonpathway”tochildren’sdevelopmentandstature,adjustmentandsuccess.Human socialinquiry—atleastsinceAthenianinterestinSpartanchildrearingpractices—hasalways,asa matter of course, included reports of parenting. Yet Freud opined that childrearing is one of three “impossible professions”—the other two being governing nations and psychoanalysis.
