Shared Parental Responsiveness and Child Development Among Families with Low Income
Each month’s Crane Research Forum features research on emerging or key topics affecting children. These events are free and open to all, but registration is required.
Join us in-person for the April Crane Research Forum as Dr. Joyce Lee discusses how preschoolers’ behavior and receptive language development are affected by shared parental responsiveness in low-income households.
Dr. Joyce Lee, assistant professor of social work at The Ohio State University and director of the Child and Family Wellbeing Laboratory
Responsive relationships are important in young children’s early development, but the ways in which fathers and mothers work together as a system — as well as the role of shared parental responsiveness in child development — are not well understood. In this presentation, Dr. Joyce Lee will discuss findings on the effects of shared parental responsiveness between fathers and mothers in low-income households on preschoolers’ developmental outcomes. The specific developmental outcomes studied include children’s behavior problems, prosocial behaviors and receptive language.
Dr. Lee’s research aims to promote child welfare and family strengthening through preventing child maltreatment, supporting positive parenting and promoting the health of children in foster care. Her work is intended to inform child welfare policies and practices to improve children’s health outcomes and strengthen children’s relationships with their family members.
* This research forum will be held in-person only at the Schoenbaum Family Center, Room 205, 175 E. 7th Ave.
