This chapter is organized around four questions concerning parenting: (1) What are the central tasks of parenting? (2) What difference does parenting make in the lives of children? (3) How does context affect parenting? (4) Why do parents invest in their children? Throughout we discuss issues pertaining to the measurement of parenting (a.k.a., the home environment) because it is through the process of measurement that answers about parenting are both realized and constrained.
