Addressing the complexities of parenting practices and attitudes, the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory-2 (AAPI-2) emerges as a pivotal tool designed by Stephen J. Bavolek, Ph.D., and Richard G. Keene, Ph.D., to evaluate and enhance the parenting skills and behaviors. Crafted with the intent to offer a comprehensive overview of individuals' parenting beliefs across several dimensions, the AAPI-2 is administered through a detailed and structured format that culminates in an online scoring system at assessingparenting.com. The inventory begins with gathering essential demographic information from participants, including name, date of birth, gender, and educational background, followed by pivotal questions aimed at unraveling their parenting philosophy. It systematically explores the participants' stance on discipline, nurturing practices, and expectations from children through 40 nuanced statements, requiring respondents to reflect and position themselves on a spectrum ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. This process not only facilitates a deep introspective analysis of one's parenting approach but also serves as a foundation for identifying areas where intervention might be beneficial. The ultimate goal of the AAPI-2 is to guide adults in fostering more nurturing, empathetic, and effective parenting practices, thereby contributing to the overall well-being and development of children.
