Description:... Drawing on her own experience many years ago and on interviews with more recent mothers of children in the Headstart program of a community in the upper Midwest, Peters explains how staff members can use the program to help parents become better at the task of parenting, and enhance the parents' self-esteem so that can effect change in their environment and eventually move out on poverty.
