Turn
to the Science of Parenting Online Resource for Latest Research
Posted 30 August 2010
Parents with
inquiring minds want to know more than just buzz words about
cyberbullying, video gaming and other hot topics related to raising
kids and teens. Now they can get the latest research from the Science
of Parenting, a new online resource from Iowa State University
Extension.
At www.scienceofparenting.org,
parents
can subscribe to a blog, get messages on Twitter, listen to
podcasts and soon download publications — with reliable, research-based
parenting information, said Kimberly Greder, ISU Extension family life
specialist and associate professor in human development and family
studies.
It’s all about what parents want to know, Greder said. “We look for the
hot topics in parenting, find the latest research and advice, and then
explain it in understandable terms.”
Greder and a team of graduate students monitor parenting websites and
talk with parenting educators for real questions that parents are
asking. They also review research from Iowa State and other
universities to find the answers to those questions as well as advances
in the field.
The Science of Parenting covers a variety of topics, from teaching
responsibility to teens, to determining how the amount of screen time
affects children’s attention skills in school.
“We’re cutting edge. We keep up with the latest issues that parents may
not yet realize are affecting their children. Parents can use the
Science of Parenting to stay ahead of the game and, perhaps, manage
their stress level, too,” Greder said.
The Science of Parenting online resource is made possible through an
ISU Extension partnership with the Iowa Psychological Association and
Riverbend Psychological Association.
