Welcome to a new episode of Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcasts, as we delve into the ever-evolving landscape of parenting. Parenting, as we know it, is shaped by a complex interplay of societal shifts, technological advancements, and evolving cultural norms. In recent years, a new term has emerged on the parenting scene: meta-parenting.
This concept refers to the intentional practice of reflecting on and consciously managing one's parenting style, decisions, and beliefs. It's a self-aware and deliberate approach that recognizes the multifaceted challenges of raising children in our complex modern world.
Our host, Dina Sargeant, is joined by a distinguished guest, George W. Holden, a Professor Emeritus in the Psychology Department at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. George has a rich and diverse research background in social development, with a specific focus on parent-child relationships. His work spans areas such as parental social cognition and behavior, positive parenting, family violence, and discipline. Notably, George's research has received support from prestigious institutions, including the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the U.S. State Department. He is also the author or editor of several books, including "Parenting: A Dynamic Perspective," now in its 3rd edition.
Beyond his academic achievements, George's commitment to child welfare extends to his roles in organizations dedicated to ending the use of corporal punishment and preventing child maltreatment. He has received numerous accolades, including the Outstanding Mentor Award from the Society for Research in Human Development and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Center on the Human Rights of Children at Loyola University, Chicago.
Join us for this enlightening conversation as Dina and George explore the fascinating world of meta-parenting and its implications for modern parents. It's a journey into self-awareness and conscious parenting that promises to shed light on the challenges and opportunities of raising children in today's rapidly changing world.
Tune in now to navigate the evolving educational landscape with insights, wisdom, and constructive connections.
