Parenting advice: The applicable threads aren't short on useful advice, but it's not really on parenting - more philosophical. Quite dissapointing. The notable exception, and I don't apologise to his naive contemporaries is Gunnar's work.

Believe it or not, The UN ranks parenting styles, allegedly, and the Triple P program tops the list.

It's useful for special needs parenting and .

One only has to google 'evidence based parenting' and see the Blogspot blog topping the list as a starter indication of the paucity of actual academic parenting research, in spite of the apparent lucrativity of entering the field. I suspect many young researchers or grad students specialise in an area too early, and do not get serious around relations young when many are starting our research, to consider the importance of parenting research.

All LessWronger's thoughts on these matters appreciated.
