Starting from the study of the books in the Course program, the student will be able to clarify the difference between family pedagogy, and family education. Through the books and materials on the program, the student will be able to know the most relevant programs of parenting support, and a range of practices carried out in recent years, in Italy and abroad. All texts must be studied in their entirety, because only through the comprehension of the complexity of the topics the student will be able to build a clear and meaningful framework of the educational practices related to families’ educational needs, consequently acquiring the skills for designing parenting support interventions. To this end, the Course will be enriched by watching movies and documentaries on the topic of the family.
