Parenting According to Your Child's Uniq...

Institute of Child Psychology
About this episode

With just a few exceptions, most parenting advice focuses on the role of the parent in shaping a child's world. This ignores the fact that genetics shape almost every aspect of human behaviour. In today's podcast, Dr. Dick debunks the myth that parenting techniques alone determine a child's future. She looks at how Extraversion, Emotionality, and Effortful Control underline each child's predisposition and how the key to raising a child isn't to try harder to mold them, but rather to adapt your parenting to the way they are wired. Dr. Dick is an award winning researcher and the author of "The Child Code". To find out more about Dr Dick's work, click here.
