Licensing Parents addresses the relationship between poverty, unemployment, and other socio-economic issues to competent parenting in a unique and creative manner. Examines why the current generation of children and youth is the first in our nation’s history to be less well-off–psychologically, socially, and morally–than their parents were at the same age.
