Mammalian Parenting: Biochemical, Neurobiological, and Behavioral Determinants

Mammalian Parenting: Biochemical, Neurobiological, and Behavioral Determinants





Parenting is one of the most important characteristics defining features of mammals. Recent research has begun to elucidate the biological bases of this behavioral repertoire. The present book brings together the interdisciplinary research of an outstanding group of scientists who present their state-of-the-art findings on the biochemical, neurobiological and behavioral factors that help to regulate parenting in a variety of animals including humans. Among the topics explored are evolutionary theories, brain sexual dimorphisms, endocrine regulation, sensory cue, and experimental factors that are coregulated with the onset of parenting behaviors during pregnancy and at parturition. This in-depth volume includes over 125 illustrations to complement the text, and will be an ideal guide for developmental psychologists, psychobiologists, neuroscientists, clinicians, and all scientists interested in behavioral biology.

Stop Struggling, Start Parenting





Two thousand years ago, John the Beloved wrote, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." In our day, President Gordon B. Hinckley has taught, "Of all the joys in life, none other equals that of happy parenthood." The greatest joys of life emanate from having and rearing up children in righteousness. But our experience as parents can also be the source of life's deepest anguish. The principles found in Stop Struggling, Start Parenting will help maximize that joy and minimize the anguish. Anchored in the scriptures and teachings of modern prophets and apostles, Stop Struggling, Start Parenting is an invaluable resource for any family library.
