{"product_id":"sharing-child-care-in-early-parenthood-hardback","title":"Sharing Child Care in Early Parenthood - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1987, Malcolm Hill examines the different ways in which parents share responsibility for looking after their pre-school children with other people, whether members of their social networks, formal groups or paid carers. He also looks at the reasons parents give for choosing and changing their particular arrangements. In this way he provides insights into a range of ideas which ordinary members of the public have about children’s needs; the rights and responsibilities of mothers and fathers; and how children think and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarked differences are described in the social relationships of families and in notions about who is acceptable as a substitute carer for children, in what circumstances and for what purpose. Several of these contrasts are linked to attitudes and life-conditions which are affected by social class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book identifies possible consequences for individual children’s social adaptability resulting from these patterns of care. It suggests that people working with the under-fives could profit from adapting their activities and services to children’s previous experiences of shared care and families’ differing expectations about groups for children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566539923694,"sku":"9781032438115","price":184.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/sharing-child-care-in-early-parenthood-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
