Ever wondered why some young adults become passionate activists while others remain indifferent to social issues? The answer might lie in their upbringing. So, this week on Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcast, host Dina Sargeant consults applied developmental psychologist Deborah Heiser to learn more about how parenting may influence a child’s sociopolitical views.
Having been featured in Forbes and quoted in a plethora of established publications such as The New York Times, Seattle Times, and Dallas Times, Deborah Heiser’s research encompasses a wide range of topics related to aging—including depression identification, dementia, and frailty. Most of all, she has been serving on the Board of the State Society on Aging of New York for an impressive 9 years. On top of that, Deborah Heiser is the author behind ‘The Mentorship Edge’, which delves into the proven benefits of mentorship in both work and home life.
In this episode, Deborah Heiser reveals that socialization—particularly during teenage years—plays a major role in shaping a child’s socio-political attitudes, and that parental support is crucial in this stage of identity exploration. Additionally, Deborah Heiser offers advice on managing parental frustrations, which tend to be common during this phase.
Together, Dina and Deborah Heiser discuss the various expectations parents may have on their child’s beliefs, and how they often differ from reality. So, whether you’re a current or soon-to-be parent looking for advice, or simply hoping to learn about how your upbringing may have shaped your views, tune in this week for an episode packed with expert insights!
