In the modern world, states Gill, opportunities for children are being drastically constrained due to a fear for their safety. Parents are afraid of parks, playgrounds, malls -- of people, events, the natural world -- and often end up over protecting their children to the detriment of their psychological health. Instead, Gill argues that the concern about safety does not reflect the real situation, just the media hype, and offers suggestions to help parents cope better with a balanced approach.

Different subcultures have differing parental styles. These differences in styles often account for acculturation techniques that change dramatically between cultures. One of the most important parts of the study is that it shows, quantitatively, that while expressions of warmth and love were relatively equal across cultures, they differed for boys and girls on demandingness and autonomy. This, of course, has considerable future implications for research.

Parenting practices are an important determinant of successful childhood development. Parents who provide emotional support with firm boundaries are less likely to have children who engage in delinquency. However, parenting is fluid at best, and must change over time. However, there is not much primary research on the how and why of this longitudinal change. This article tries to fill that gap.
