<p>Leading family researcher Jenet Erickson joined <em>Early Matters</em> to discuss the complex role of childcare in child, maternal, and family well-being. Erickson describes the evolving landscape of work and family life, with important shifts in both women’s and men’s roles within the home and the workforce. <br/><br/>She expresses concern about growing policy momentum towards universal childcare, emphasizing the importance of aligning childcare policies with the preferences and needs of families. Finally, she highlights the paramount importance of strong parent-child relationships for the healthy development of young children. She argues that policy should be driven by recognizing and prioritizing those core relationships. A “work-ist” rather than “family-ist” orientation fails to fulfill the essential human need for deep, bonded connection with other people.<br/><br/>READ MORE HERE: <a href='https://www.ccfp.org/ccfp/child-care-what-parents-want-what-children-need-with-jenet-erickson'><b>Child Care: What Parents Want — What Children Need</b></a><b> </b>(https://www.ccfp.org/ccfp/child-care-what-parents-want-what-children-need-with-jenet-erickson)</p><p><b>About the Guest<br/></b>Jenet Erickson is a leading family policy researcher focusing on maternal and child well-being in the context of work and family life, and on the distinct contributions of mothers and fathers in children's development.
