The Evidence-Based Parenting for Flourishing Families initiative, led by Dr. Christina Hinton, shares key principles from research in child development, psychology, neuroscience, education and parenting, dispels popular parenting myths, and offers evidence-based strategies for common parenting situations and challenges. Research from around the world shows that parenting best promotes holistic wellbeing, including social-emotional development, mental and physical health, and academic learning, when it is characterized by: warmth, structure, and autonomy support (OECD, 2020). Dr. Hinton is writing a book on evidence-informed parenting that is organized around these three key parenting ingredients. This initiative disseminates resources related to these key ingredients and beyond from our Evidence-Based Parenting for Flourishing Families project as well as the work of our expert partners. We seek to build an international community of academics and parents to promote evidence-informed parenting for flourishing globally.
