Examining Popular Books on Parenting-
Briefly review two popular (non-academic) books on parenting (these can be obtained through a library or bookstore, borrowed from a friend, parent etc.). In a written report, summarize the topics presented (for example, balancing work and family, changes in the family system after the arrival of a new baby, parent education, single parenthood, divorce, parenting tweens). Is the advice presented in the books supported by research in the text? Explain. Include an introduction outlining the purpose and direction of your report, and a conclusion. Be sure to cite your sources.
