Researcher of the Month: Dr Caoimhe Dempsey Discusses How Children’s Relationships with Parents and Teachers Impact Their Adjustment to School

Our latest Researcher of the Month, Dr Caoimhe Dempsey, chats to
Dr Cassie Rhodes about her new paper, which focuses on how the
different relationships that young children have with important
adults in their lives interact with each other, and how these
relationships contribute to children’s school adjustment. The
interview is packed with useful tips for parents and educators
alike and outlines interesting new findings about the power of
positive child-teacher relationships for children who might have
a conflictual relationship with their mum (specifically) at home.
