Do Parents Matter?

"Do Parents Matter?" explores a global perspective on parenting, highlighting diverse approaches to raising children in countries like Japan, India, Paris, and America. Based on nearly fifty years of research by Robert and Sarah LeVine, the book challenges long-held beliefs about parenting practices and emphasizes children's resilience and independence across various cultural contexts. It offers thought-provoking insights into how different parenting styles influence children's well-being and questions the notion that more parenting effort always leads to better outcomes.
