Developing
Caring Relationships Among Parents, Children, Schools, and Communities
Dana McDermott (2007)

than other books in this area, focusing on parents and teachers
as adult learners who should be growing and learning along with
the children in their care. Accessibly written, the book synthesizes
the latest theories and research on parent-and adult-child relations
and on adult learning and development, focusing on a dynamic process
rather than a static role and, on all the social-contextual factors
affecting parents, teachers, and children. Includes a large section
on Ensuring That the Next Generation of Parents Is Prepared for
Their Role.
