Synopsis

Every parent has pondered "nature vs. nurture" questions. How much of my child's personality and behavior is inborn? How much is learned? This important book, written by behavioral scientists who are also mothers, has answers.

This book offers the best parenting practices to foster resilience by encouraging children's social-emotional development and adaptive stress-regulation strategies. The authors translate scientific research into concrete, actionable tips and recommendations to help promote the emotional wellbeing of both child and parent.

Authors Stacey N. Doan and Jessica Borelli offer a science-based framework to help show parents and guardians how biology and parenting work together. Although genetics are significant, DNA is not destiny. Parenting still matters, deeply. Cutting-edge epigenetics research and other recent scientific insights are explained to show that biology and parenting behavior are integrally intertwined.

Increasingly competitive schools, looming threats of climate change, and the Covid-19 pandemic have sent many parents' anxiety spiraling out of control. This affects their kids, creating a recurring cycle of stress and worry. This book is here to help.

The authors here really worked to use their professional expertise (they have a lot) and their personal experiences as mothers to make an accessible parenting "guide" that relies on the most recent psychological and epigenetic research. It was definitely accessible and personal. And there was a lot......more

I really enjoyed this book! I found it very informative and fun to read! It is science based with a great deal of practical and applicable advice to the reader, as a parent.

Goodreads review by Gabrielle on March 10, 2022

"DNA is not destiny--the die is not cast at birth" The book Nature Meets Nurture is a good, scientific look at the current climate and issues that parents are facing when raising resilient children. There are so many outside forces and "woo" recommendations these days, but Doan and Borelli take data......more

Goodreads review by Heather on July 12, 2023

The book is good, I just wish I would’ve had a chance to read it when my kids were much younger. The focus was really on birth to age 5-6. I wanted lessons in parenting that would build resiliency in older kids. I’m finding a drought of information for school age and adolescents…......more
