The parent-child relationship has been extensively researched over a long period of time. In this relationship, a perspective is explored of the behaviour of the parent and how this affects the development of the child. Added to this relationship are the effects of the environment on the relationship between the parent and the child. The well-adjusted, independent, social adult is often an indication that the parent-child relationship provided the grounding and the origins for how the adult interacts with life and others. Due to the complexities of journeying through establishing and solidifying the parent-child relationship from the stage of pregnancy, through early childhood development, to school-going age, adolescence and adulthood, understanding this relationship and the effects on the health and wellbeing of the child, has been ongoing. In this book the intention is to present various perspectives and insights into specific approaches to parenting in various environments and contexts. These contexts provide the cultural support to explore the phenomenon of parenting styles and practices providing insights from South Africa, Japan, China, the USA, Argentina, Portugal, Israel, Spain and Canada. A Closer Look at Parenting Styles and Practices zones into exploring and understanding the parent-child relationship globally.
