A flexible lens for parents that considers the child, the caregiver, the context, and core values to guide your parenting. 

In this episode of Globally Thriving Families, host Clare O'Byrne emphasizes the importance of moving beyond popular parenting styles by understanding the unique needs of each child, the parent's background, the context of upbringing, and core family values. She introduces a simplified framework using the Four Cs—Child, Caregiver, Context, and Core Values—to guide parents in their daily interactions. Clare also explores foundational studies on parenting approaches and how to navigate the nuances of raising children, particularly in globally mobile and neurodivergent families.
