In this fifth edition, questions on how best to support parents and other caregivers are brought into focus. Governments are showing more and more interest in providing services to parents to help them fulfil their parenting roles. But what does “good” parenting mean? How can policies to support parents best be adapted to local culture? What is the most appropriate way to critically evaluate these policies?
The long-term benefits for society and individuals of well-designed programmes for parenting support far outweigh the cost of the initial investment.
