Abstract

Effective parenting is important for optimal child wellbeing and development. However, the mechanisms involved in the influence of parenting on child development are not well understood, particularly for families where a parent has an intellectual disability (ID). There are many traditions of thought that have attempted to explain parenting, the mechanisms that influence parenting and the products of parenting. This paper will present the findings of a review of popular theories of parenting that have emerged from a range of different traditions. The aim was to identify how parenting as a construct is understood within each tradition of thought, to outline the historical development of different theories within each tradition, to describe the epistemological basis for each theory, and to evaluate previous research that has been conducted in an attempt to find support for these theories. The paper will conclude with a discussion of the implications of this review for the development of schemas for thinking about parenting by people with an ID, including a reflection on how such schemas may contribute to the propagation of myths about parenting in this group.
