Leading scholars from diverse disciplines use relevant data from the Commonwealth Survey of Parents with Young Children to present new information about the lives of families with very young children - how parents spend their time with their children, the economic and social challenges they face, and the supports they receive to improve their children's health and development. Such a broad portrait based on nationally representative date has not been attempted before. Drawing on their extensive expertise and research in the issues being addressed, the authors examine and elaborate on the survey findings. They synthesize the major themes emerging from the data and consider the family, community, and policy implications to frame and interpret the results. What emerges is a picture of the complex forces that influence families and child-rearing in the early years.Child rearingUnited StatesParentingUnited StatesParentsUnited StatesChild health servicesUnited StatesFamily life surveysUnited StatesChild rearingParentingParentsChild health servicesFamily life surveys649/.1/0973Halfon Neal1411385McLearn Kathryn Taaffe1946-1760140Schuster Mark A.1959-1760141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816505403321Child rearing in America4198964UNINA
