Mothers' and Fathers' Judgments about Young Children's Autonomy

Viac o knihe

Exploring parental perceptions of young children's claims to autonomy, this study examines how mothers and fathers differ in their views on authority and control, particularly regarding preschool-age boys and girls. It investigates the issues where parents are more inclined to permit child control and those deemed non-negotiable. The findings aim to enhance understanding of parental authority boundaries and their implications for child development and parent-child dynamics. Targeted at professionals and researchers in child development and parenting, this work offers valuable insights into these critical relationships.
