In thinking about how parenting styles are different in different phases of their children’s development, I began to wonder about how parents negotiate “psy-knowledge” (Valencia, 2015) and anxieties when engaging with professionals over dealing with common struggles related to life cycle transitions, with their own mundane everyday practices and expertise. How do anxieties over parenting styles and childrearing become a source of social problems?

SECOND ONE I NEED TO RESPOND TO:
Good job using research to provide an informed discussion. There seems to be a lack of resources for same sex parents and thus maybe these families need more help in developing protective factors related to resiliency. Unger (2010) notes “resilience is dependent on a family’s ability to both access available resources”(p. 421). What is one way therapists can help spotlight same sex parents needs to the greater community?
