This book provides an important, updated comprehensive treatment of theory and research relevant to parenting beliefs. Especially helpful is the rich set of theoretical connections to work on parenting beliefs. The text will help readers think more clearly about what constitutes beliefs (and beliefs of different types) versus behaviors in the domain of parenting, as well as the ways in which beliefs and behaviors are connected."
