PARENTS’ LIVES,

CHILDREN’S NEEDS

WORKING TOGETHER FOR EVERYONE’S WELL-BEING

Beth Roy, PhD

Children grow up naturally, but parents must learn how to parent. Parents’ Lives, Children’s Needs spells out the developmental challenges facing parents at each stage of their children’s growth. Through stories from her own parenting life and those of the many families she’s mediated and counseled, Dr. Roy offers concrete advice for negotiating the super-packed tasks facing today’s parents while working through conflict constructively.

Beth Roy examines the process of parenting in the context of culture, race, gender, class, history, and ideology. Roy articulates the aspirations of parents who want to raise children of conscience…. Her honest, sensitive, and commonsensical approach enables parents to make this monumental task much more enjoyable.
