Parents as Developing Adult Learners
Marienau, Catherine; Segal, Joy
Child Welfare, v85 n5 p767-784 Sep-Oct 2006
Drawing largely on the literature from adult learning and development, this article presents parents as continuous learners whose critical reflections on their experiences with parenting can be rich fodder for their growth and development. Theories and models are highlighted that may suggest a wider repertoire of approaches for helping professionals who are facilitating parents in their learning and growth.
