Practice Implications
- Ensure the standards against which parents
are assessed are made explicit to them
- Avoid making value-laden judgements about
the adequacy of parenting based on unfair comparisons with middle
class standards
- Watch out for self-fulfilling prophecies
of parenting failure based on single-minded concern only with
parental inadequacies
- Work with parents to explore together
the meaning of good-enough parenting
