AAP Study

Here are four excerpts that caught my eye from the Family Connection and Flourishing Among Adolescents in 26 Countries Study.  https://publications.aap.org/p...nd-Flourishing-Among

Several studies have shown that childhood family connection is associated with flourishing in adulthood.  We have shown that this association is also present across levels of adverse childhood experiences and childhood socioeconomic position…

This cross-sectional association cannot be interpreted as a causal relationship. However, the association was graded and strong, accounted for potential confounders assessing relative socioeconomic disadvantage and adversity, and was present in a range of countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.

Future research should address the more applied question of how to enhance and sustain adult-child connection in the face of social forces that favor disconnection.

Evolutionary neurobiologist C. Sue Carter has stated, “Without positive relationships, especially in early life, humans fail to flourish, even if all of their basic needs are met.”

To me this is saying that parenting and parenting education is of paramount importance.  And again I implore the PACES community to recognize the need for an entirely new kind of parenting education that reaches everyone, everywhere, all the time.
