Is parenting responsible for who your children eventually become?
In short: While parenting is a vital part of shaping a child, psychologist Yuko Munakata explains why it is only one piece of a much larger puzzle in the complex process of human development.
In this talk, Yuko Munakata explores the research-backed reality that childhood development is a chaotic and complex process. She suggests that while parenting plays an important role, it is just one of many factors that influence how a child turns out.
This perspective offers a new way to think about what it truly means to be a good parent and provides a different lens for anyone reflecting on the forces that shaped their own identity.
