1. CLEARNINGHOUSE ON ELEMENTARY AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Parenting Style and Its Correlates
Many writers have noted that specific parenting practices are less important in predicting child well-being than is the broad pattern of parenting.

2. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
Guidance for Effective Discipline
This statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics advises families on discipline
strategies that emphasize the development of loving parent-child relationships, the use of positive reinforcement to teach desired behaviors, and methods for decreasing undesired
behaviors.

3. AMERICAN
ACADEMY OF FAMILY PRACTICE

4. KIDSHEALTH
Helping Your Child Through A Divorce
The article addresses such questions as how much a child should be told about the divorce, how to help a child adjust to new living situations, and what to do if a child does not accept the divorce.

5. AMERICAN
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION - CHILD CUSTODY
Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Divorce Proceedings
Parents and children are significantly impacted by divorce, and psychological services are
often crucial at this difficult time. These guidelines from the APA highlight the
competencies and knowledge required for child custody evaluations.

6. ERIC DIGEST
Fostering Resilience in Children
Some longitudinal studies, several of which follow individuals over the course of a lifespan, have consistently documented that between half and two-thirds of children growing up in families with mentally ill, alcoholic, abusive, or criminally involved parents or in poverty-stricken or war-torn communities do overcome the odds and turn a life trajectory of risk into one that manifests "resilience."

7. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
Reading Checkup Guide
Reading with your child not only stimulates development of your child's brain, but
also fuels a close emotional relationship between you and your child. The reading
guide from the American Academy of Pediatrics provides parents with a reading checklist
and help in how to promote a child's reading skills.

8. ALCOHOL RESEARCH AND HEALTH
Your Children Drive You To Drink?
A considerable number of publications in the psychological literature support the argument that children are a major source of stress for their parents.
