Parenting Advice
Overview: People have always had questions about parenting. In previous generations, however, parents had relatively limited options for getting advice – most frequently you asked your maternal relatives, your friends, your child’s pediatrician, and your child’s teacher. With the emergence of the Web 2.0 and social media era, came a myriad of places that parents can go on-line to get help with parenting, advice, and parenting tips. While this means that there is a great deal of useful information available, there also is a great deal of misinformation. As professionals working with children and adolescents, it is important for us to provide parents with the most accurate and evidence-based information as possible. To help us do that, we need to know what kind of information parents have access to and, more specifically, the extent to which that information effectively helps parents to reduce risk and promote resilience in their children’s lives.
Guidelines
(1) In this in-class assignment, you will be examining various websites that offer parenting advice, tips, and information through the lens of risk and resilience research.
(2) To begin the assignment, and to gain background information, you should read the follow article prior to class:
Hoffman, D. M. (2010). Risky investments: Parenting and the production of the ‘resilient child’. Health, Risk & Society, 12(4), 385-394. doi:10.1080/13698571003789716
