Researcher of the Month: Dr Caoimhe Dempsey Discusses How Children’s Relationships with Parents and Teachers Impact Their Adjustment to School

Dr Kathy Weston's Get a Grip! Parenting Podcast

Our latest Researcher of the Month, Dr Caoimhe Dempsey, chats to Dr Cassie Rhodes about her new paper, which focuses on how the different relationships that young children have with important adults in their lives interact with each other, and how these relationships contribute to children’s school adjustment. The interview is packed with useful tips for parents and educators alike and outlines interesting new findings about the power of positive child-teacher relationships for children who might have a conflictual relationship with their mum (specifically) at home.
