Ourselves and our Children A Book by and for Parents Author:The Boston Women's Health Book Collective This is a book about the lives and the needs of parents. "Consider yourself," the authors urge.

beginning, middle, teenage, and grown-up years
*shared parenthood between mothers and fathers and for
single parents
*families: ways that families work and different forms
they take
*society's impact on parents, and what parents are doing
