Do Parents Matter?

Aims

 

To show how:

  • New ideas often challenge established theories.
  • New ideas can emerge outside the academic research framework.
  • Strong evidence is needed before a new idea becomes widely accepted.
  • Trying to explain the behavioural development of children is complex.
  • Research from different disciplines can throw light on aspects of a particular problem.
