In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Cara Goodwin, founder of Parenting Translator. We discuss what research tells us about the influences of child care on child development, and potential variations in child outcomes based on the type of care children receive. More specifically, we discuss what research tells us about associations between group child care and/or a consistent babysitter and children’s parental attachment relationships. We delve into more depth about the potential role of child care quality on children’s development of attachments to caregivers, as well as parents, and the evidence regarding the role of having multiple attachment figures in young children’s lives. Further, we discuss research demonstrating how parental sensitivity and satisfaction with one’s work situation relates to the parent-child attachment relationship.  For more information on Dr. Cara Goodwin and Parenting Translator please visit https://www.parentingtranslator.com/ and on instagram: @parentingtranslator  For more information on Cooper please visit us on instagram @your_cooper and on-line at beta.yourcooper.com .
