Join me as I speak with Dr. Jenet Erickson, an associate professor in the Department of Church History and Doctrine at BYU as we explore how supportive, home-based parent-child relationships impact behavioral and social outcomes and the ways strong family connections build resilience in children, and how modern challenges like societal pressures and shifting family dynamics can affect these bonds. Dr. Erickson will also share insights on how parents who work outside the home can still create meaningful connections and how both parents' involvement fosters children’s social, cognitive, and emotional growth.
