Welcome to the Parenting Lab.
The Parenting Lab team is dedicated to understanding how parenting practices influence
child development, particularly emotional development, and how families can be better
supported through life’s challenges.
We are currently conducting a research project that focuses on parenting during the
COVID-19 pandemic and are seeking participants to help us learn more.
COVID-19 & Emotion Socialization Parenting
The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant changes to daily life for families around the world. Parents of young children faced unique challenges, from managing childcare and remote work to navigating emotional stressors and disrupted routines.
This study explores how parents supported their children’s emotional development during this time and how their own emotional experiences and stress shaped their parenting practices.
This study is led by Dr. Emma Hooper at:
California Lutheran University
60 W. Olsen Road
Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
If you are interested in participating in our study or would like to learn more, email parentinglab@CalLutheran.edu.
