parenting behaviors were observed at home using semistructured‐play observations, children with one supportive parent (high levels of positive warmth, sensitivity, and cognitive‐stimulating interaction) scored higher on cognitive outcomes than did children with two unsupportive parents (Anderson et al., 2013).
The quote above inspires me to think and create this hypothesis...
If I choose to be a supportive parent by providing positive warmth being sensitive to the needs of my child then it will be better for my child and her brain.
