Summary

Even under the best of circumstances, parenting can be a challenging proposition. Caregiving presents a myriad of demands requiring sets of skills with which few of us come fully equipped but must nonetheless deliver from birth, or even prenatally. These demands are neither uniform, nor static. They vary as a function of a seemingly endless array of issues that families face, and they change as families develop and progress through the developmental periods that their children must negotiate to emerge as competent adults.
