Reading Part 5: Choose the correct answer.

I decided to write this book for several reasons. I was dissatisfied with parenting-advice literature, finding it to

be riddled with oversimplified messages, and often unrelated to or at odds with current scientific knowledge. I

also felt certain after years as a professor, researcher, and author of textbooks on child development, that

contemporary theory and research contain many vital, practical messages… ones crucial for parents to

understand if they are to effectively help their children develop. Furthermore, I’ve been approached on

countless occasions by uneasy parents, frustrated by a wide array of child-rearing issues.

Q: The author says that one reason for writing the book was the fact that

• research suggests the quality of parenting skills has deteriorated.

• today’s scientific views of parenting seem to be flawed.

• there is a lack of parenting literature written in a straightforward way.

• the available advisory material does not reflect current academic thinking.
