I recently made a video on the psychology of childhood aggression.

Animated, written, researched, and narrated by me—it was a big undertaking! Features some of my own research, but also many others'. Excited to share it finally 🎉

I know I have been *terrible* at keeping up on here BUT I have a new paper that I'm excited to share with y'all!

📑Full article: doi.org/10.1037/fam0...

Infographic with bright colors. Title says: Activation Parenting Strategies and Relations with Child Self-Regulation and Engagement. The left box says: Fathers' and mothers' responses to child distress that encourage kids to face challenges were linked to flexibility & frustration tolerance and curiosity & persistence. In the middle, there is a laptop with a screen that says: 66 dads & 612 moms of 2- to 5-year-olds in the US completed surveys. There is another box under that that says: Associations held after controlling for the significant effects of other supportive responses. The right side has a sticky note that says: Beyond traditional supportive practices, parents may promote their children's socioemotional development through activation parenting. The citation for the article is at the bottom: Feldman et al. (2025), Journal of Family Psychology.
