This annotated bibliography was created as part of the Creating Parenting-Rich Communities Initiative funded by the Prudential Foundation. Creating Parenting-Rich Communities is a multiyear project of CWLA, designed to develop resources, tools, and information parents and other leaders can use to assess their communities and bring about changes to improve the lives of children by supporting parents and caregivers. The parents may be birthparents, adoptive parents, foster parents, or relatives raising young family members. The annotated bibliography features articles and other publications that explored general parenting research, parent relationships, parent training, at-risk parenting, parenting and ethnicity, parenting young children, and parenting adolescents.
