Unlock the secrets of how our kids genetic code influences addiction and behaviour and to what degree our parenting can really shape our kids future.

In this discussion with Dr. Danielle Dick, Professor of Psychology & Human Genetics and a pioneer in the field of genetic epidemiology we venture deep into the intertwining worlds of genetics, parenting, and their impact on child development.

Dr. Dick reveals the complex dance between genetic predispositions and environmental factors, shedding light on how these elements contribute to the development of addictive behaviours and antisocial traits. We explores ground-breaking insights into the heritability of addiction and the dynamic influence of parenting styles on children's emotional and behavioural outcomes.

Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or a curious mind fascinated by the genetic threads that shape our lives, this episode offers invaluable perspectives on the power of understanding genetic influences to enhance parenting strategies and potentially curb the pathways to addiction.
