When should we have children? How many children should we have? What if we can't conceive? When is adoption an option? Can we--should we--fulfill what is expected of us? A comprehensive, multidisciplinary handbook boasting findings across traditional areas of study, Transition to Parenthood brings the contemporary family into clear, useful focus. Its expert coverage tracks current trends in family structures, roles, and dynamics, and explores the impact of individual members and the environment on the family unit. A variety of perspectives (e.g., ecological, life course, TPEX) are presented to best apply to clinical understanding, and the book considers topics as varied as the social class factor in women's fertility, patterns of relationship maintenance, and teaching children about money. And contrary to some schools of thought, the authors argue that macro and micro theories of families must be considered in combination for optimal results. Included in the coverage: A history of fertility in America. The family: diversity and demographics. Childlessness, voluntary and involuntary. The cost of raising a child. Maintaining your relationship across and after the transition to parenthood. Parenting programs and program evaluations. Navigating the transition to parenthood with a child with special needs. Fresh in approach and accessibly written, Transition to Parenthood will be a core reference for a variety of professionals, including family sociologists, family therapists, developmental psychologists, social workers, and counselors. 606 $aFamilies 606 $aFamilies?Social aspects 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aSocial service 606 $aFamily$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X27000 606 $aDevelopmental Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010 606 $aSocial Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aFamilies. 615 0$aFamilies?Social aspects. 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 14$aFamily. 615 24$aDevelopmental Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Work. 676 $a306.874 676 $a649.1 700 $aNazarinia$b R.
