Human Growth and Development

Fifth Edition
by Chris Beckett and Hilary Taylor

Questions

  • Here, Gloria shows her strong commitment to being a good parent. Will this be enough to ensure good developmental outcomes for her children? What about factors that are beyond her control?
  • Would the family’s situation be any different if they were white British and not African Caribbean?
  • Max seems quite involved with this family, perhaps more than one would expect given his job. Why might this be? You may like to look at the Sullivan family case study also (Case Study H) for more background. What needs of his own might he be meeting?
  • This story is told by Max. How might Gloria tell the story? Or Gary? Or Chantal?
  • Imagine this story (including the Sullivan family case study, Case H) had been written with all the adult gender roles reversed, and compare it with the story as written. Which version of the story seems more likely to occur in real life, and why?
