The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has published a report on parenting during early and middle childhood and how it changes over time.

It examines parenting in Britain during early and middle childhood within different social and cultural groups. It also looks at how parenting develops and changes over time.

• Part 1 reviews research from the last ten years, highlighting the important themes which emerge;
• Part 2 describes specific aspects of parenting within these themes in early childhood using data from a sample based in and around Bristol.

The report can be downloaded from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation website.
