Course description

The family environment is critical for the development of children and for adult adjustment. In this course, we will explore key tasks and challenges of parenting in the 21st century, examining theories, empirical evidence and the social-ecology in which families are situated in. ¿We will explore the factors that influence what parents do, examine specific parenting practices and family interactions and effective ways to assess such interactions. Finally, the course will focus on applications of developmental models to intervention and clinical applications, and the role of parenting interventions in the prevention and management of social, emotional, behavioural and health problems.¿¿
