The previous chapter has documented the rapid development in schools of materials and curricula related to family life education, health education and personal relationships. Some young people may have been lucky enough to take part in such tutorial groups or social education courses but not all schools provide these opportunities and not all child...
If parent education is to be a life-long process it must begin in one form or another during childhood. Views of what schools can and cannot achieve are perhaps more realistic today than they were in the 1960s and 1970s. Little more than 15 000 hours, or 17 per cent of a child’s time awake will actually be spent in school (Rutter, 1979) and the pri...
Education and support for parents of pre-school children may be inadequate, but compared with the availability of schemes for parents of school-age children, it provides a richness and diversity that leaves older parents looking back wistfully to the days of health visitors and informal groups. The increase in published information, advice and supp...
Despite evidence which suggests that adverse experiences early in life need not be permanently damaging (Clarke and Clarke, 1976), the quality of children’s early interactions with adults close to them — usually their parents — clearly has important implications for their development into competent, caring and fully-realised adults. An increasing b...
Advice to patents on how to bring up their children has been offered by those professing to have some superior knowledge and experience since lime immemorial. All societies, however primitive, have their rules about family life; and philosophers such as Plato. Aristotle. Aquinas. Locke and Hobbcs, made known their own views on the rights and respon...
The notion that being a parent in the second half of the twentieth century is demanding and at times a difficult and lonely experience, has been the focus of increasing attention in the last decade. Whilst many parents have brought up their children over the centuries in conditions of considerable hardship, they have not always done so in the isola...
The Court report suggested that our chief concern during the transition to parenthood should be to improve an individual’s ability to cope with life. Subsequent research studies have indicated that in coping with birth and the transition to parenthood it is not so much what you know that is important but how the experience is managed (Clulow et al....
In looking at what it is like to be a parent in the 1980s we have taken a bird’s eye view of current developments to present a national picture of preparation, education and support for parents. Although this approach has certain shortcomings, it has enabled us to paint a unique picture — or at least construct a rather complex jigsaw — of parent ed...
