Children in Australian families: The growth of competence
Summary
Based on the Children in Families study conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies, this book is one of the first to systematically examine the links between family characteristics and children's developing competence. It presents quantitative, analytic material based on statistical analyses as well as quantitative, descriptive material based on interviews with both the children and adult members of family groups. Many popular myths and stereotypes about children and families are considered, and most are rejected. This unique view of family life through the eyes of children should be of interest to students, practitioners and researchers of all aspects of children and families.
