Would Dev Psych be better off focusing on interventions that target structures & resources instead of parents? We asked 281 moms with low incomes. The answer: Moms saw both types of interventions as potentially very helpful for supporting early child dev. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Returned from vacation to this delightful episode. I loved talking with @ResearchworksP about our recent @PsychScience paper on parenting & biological aging & how findings might be a hopeful message for families exposed to stress. Give it a listen here: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcas…

We had a great chat with @AllieDWSullivan this week! Her work demonstrates a clear and important link between parenting practices, stress and accelerated biological aging. We also talked about the practicalities of telehealth, time out and coaching!

Contrary to popular discourse, social media holds real promise to *support* adolescent mental health—especially for teens facing barriers to accessing treatment.

We’ve long known the power of dyadic (parent-child) interventions for child mental health, but have you ever wondered whether those benefits GET UNDER THE SKIN? If so, check out our new narrative review! A pleasure to mind meld with @AllieDWSullivan @NicoleBushPhD @DRoubinov
📣Our new paper in @PNECJournal reviews impacts of psychological parent-child interventions on biomarkers of child health, across biological systems. TLDR: interventions change several systems, but huge variability in effects calls for MODERATORS ‼️ 🧵

Asian Americans' SES is best characterized by "a high average and a large dispersion." Zhen Zeng & @YuXie3
The median household income of #AsianAmericans is high, but 16/20 Asian groups are ⬇️ the AsianAm median
Only Indians & Filipinos are ⬆️ the median

Really exciting new research on parenting improvements and biomarkers of child adversity! Highlights the value of investing in early interventions that target parenting behaviors 🙌
🚨NEW STUDY Wondering how parenting and childhood adversity shape biological aging? Our findings in @PsychScience reveal a powerful connection! Children exposed to adversity exhibited lower epigenetic age acceleration when positive parenting increased! 🧵

Exposures during the prenatal period have long-term impacts on the child & birthing parent-- so, supports during pregnancy are effective, efficient, and preventative in nature - and worth the investment.
