Abstract
Despite the obvious theoretical and practical connections between parenting and adolescent development, too often scholarship and practices related to parenting and family studies are disconnected from scholarship and practices in youth development. While youth development experts generally acknowledge the central, primary socializing role of parents, they tend to study and implement programs and practices that emphasize settings beyond the family— sometimes with an implicit message that these efforts are needed to compensate for the failures or limitations of parents. On the other side, parenting and family studies can so emphasize the inner dynamics of families and parent-child relationships that they ignore or downplay the vital role of community resources in contributing to young people’s healthy development.
