dc.description	Neuroparenting is a way of thinking which claims that ‘we now know’ (by implication, once and for all) how children ought to be raised. The basis for this fi nal achievement of certainty regarding child-rearing is said to be discoveries made through neuroscience about the development of the human brain, in particular, during infancy. Macvarish situates the rise of neuroparenting in the UK policy domain within a broader context in which the idea of a parenting defi cit has taken hold of policy-makers’ imagi- nations and parent training has become increasingly normalised through new institutional structures and government programmes, notably those of early intervention. The particular power of neuroparenting lies in its appeal to the authority of the fashionable claims of neuroscience and its promise to make material, and even visible, the quality and quantity of parental love.	en_US
