  • [P]rovides information on topics parents face in raising children.
    —Choice     November 2004
Description: A father of three and long-time child psychologist, author Gregory Moffatt offers information on dozens of topics couples will face as they make the decision to conceive and take on the most challenging and rewarding role of their lives: parenthood. Each chapter is divided into psychological, social/emotional, and physical developments at the stage being discussed. Topics range from deciding to conceive and potential problems, to anticipating the developments and challenges for adolescents from age 13 to 18. Included are illustrative vignettes from Moffatt's experience as a child therapist, as a university teacher, and as a father. An extensive bibliography is included to assist readers seeking additional information on a particular topic. The author emphasizes the importance of commitment in parenting and the need for parents to invest themselves thoughtfully in the raising of their children. Topics include the development of self-esteem, the importance of play, imaginary playmates, language development, teaching consequences, and developing discipline.
