Preferred term

stressful environments and parenting  

Definition

  • The focus of this entry is on parenting in socially impoverished settings that hold diverse psychosocial stressors for parents, pose challenges to the parent-child relationship, and act as risk factors in children's healthy development. A developmental systems approach to understanding human behavior and development in general, and to parenting more specifically, considers multiple levels of organization that comprise individuals' lives, as well as the integrative functions of these levels and the bidirectional interactions that exist between them.
