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

Meer over het boek

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.
