As a parent, yes I find that a literature review of best
practices for raising a child has been invaluable and I will continue to learn
in order to help produce successful offspring.
Honestly, I cannot say that had I not taken this class as a parent, I would
not have researched the information in the same manner. Evaluating peer reviewed journals shows that
there is not a consensus on best practices for raising children.
As I have learned throughout my six years of studying at
Montana Tech, researchers will often struggle writing for the public and
writing for further research grants.
What researchers need is a Neil Degrassi-Tyson or a Carl Sagan to help
simplify psychology research to bring this complex information to the
masses. However with such a contentious
amount of information out there, it will be difficult to develop consensus for
best parenting practices.
