Danielle Dick, PhD is the distinguished Commonwealth Professor of Psychology and Human and Molecular Genetics at Virgina Commonwealth University. She is an internationally recognized expert on genetic and environmental  influences on human behavior.  In this interview, we talk about her book The Child Code. In this book, she provides a interesting review on how genes influence behavior, spoiler alert-there isn't a gene for anxiety-it is more complicated. But more importantly from a parenting perspective, she provided a convenient way of thinking about temperament, what she called the 3 E's and quizes to help you figure out where you and your child are on this dimension. Importantly, she notes that we have to adjust our parenting style to match the temperament of your child. The Child Code is an extremely useful book for parents that is grounded in very solid science.   For more informaton about Dr Dick and access to her online resources for you to explore your child's genetic code. https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrhdUqZUoxmfFgfv7dXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1721681818/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.danielledick.com%2fabout/RK=2/RS=x9LSJGmG3cgi7kWLccRRgKZd2M0-

Danielle Dick, Ph.D. is the Commonwealth Professor of BOTH Psychology and Human and Molecular Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her research focuses on how genetic and environmental influences contribute to the development of patterns of substance use and related behaviors.  Her first book, The Child Code was just released. Danielle and Lisa Marie discuss the many differences of our brains and how to teach our children to appreciate them.

While many parenting books and websites emphasize the critical role of the parent in influencing a child's behaviour, it is frequently overlooked that all children possess a genetically driven temperament which exerts a powerful influence not only on the child's behaviour, but on the behaviour of their parents.  Dr. Danielle Dick, joins us for a discussion of some of the core ideas contained in her new book The Child Code: Understanding Your Child's Unique Nature for Happier, More Effective Parenting.  In this discussion we consider: Dr. Dick's motivation for writing The Child Code despite the current wealth of parenting books availablea definitive description of the influence of genes on our behaviour, along with a consideration of the actual ability of parents to influence life outcomeshow the heritability of the traits actually goes up over the lifespan owing to self-selection into environments that resonate with our traits.introduction to the "Big Three" dimensions of temperament: Extraversion, Emotionality & Effortful Controlexamples of how to leverage understanding of a child's temperament to optimize the parenting approach to promote "goodness of fit"the surprising consequences of parent and child being "over matched" on certain dimensions of temperament tips for parents to manage guilt & distress arising from challenges around fit with one's child, despite an abundance of unconditional lovethe difference between temperament and disorder and when parents should consult a mental health professionalDr. Dick's suggestions for managing the complex task of parenting across independent households in the wake of a separation or divorce - especially where  different parenting styles are presentstrategies for helping parents to understand the impact of their own temperament on perceptions of their childDanielle M. Dick, Ph.D., is the distinguished Commonwealth Professor of Psychology and Human and Molecular Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University, where she directs a research institute on behavioral and emotional health. She is an internationally recognized and award-winning expert on genetic and environmental influences on human behavior. Dr. Dick has received grant funding totaling in excess of $25 million from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private foundations. She has more than 300 peer-reviewed publications, and has won numerous national and international awards for her work.https://www.danielledick.com

Why are your kids so different? Why is one kid so much harder to parent than their brothers or sisters? If you have more than one child you know how different your children can be. And so why is this? To answer this I invited an expert on human and molecular genetics Dr. Danielle Dick. In her newest book, The Child Code, Understanding Your Child's Unique Nature for Happier, More Effective Parenting she says, "Why is parenting so darn hard? It turns out there is a simple answer to that question. The reason that parenting is so challenging is that all of that well meaning advice from your parents and friends and pediatricians ignores one of the biggest factors that affects child development-genes. Danielle gives us a powerful, science-driven parenting that helps your child grow into the best version of themself.  Danielle M. Dick, Ph.D., is the distinguished Commonwealth Professor of Psychology and Human and Molecular Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University, where she directs a research institute on behavioral and emotional health.

Next month, Joe Biden will choose his running mate, the presumptive Democratic Party's vice presidential candidate. Biden has pledged that his running mate will be a woman but committed to little beyond that. The last female major party vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, became a media phenomenon unto herself and helped usher in the Tea Party movement to prominence. No presidential ticket with a woman on it has ever been elected in the United States. With Joe Biden as the oldest presidential candidate in history, the stakes for vice president have never been higher. Who are the Biden campaign’s top choices for vice president? Will Biden use his choice to energise Democratic Party progressives or to maintain his campaign theme of being a moderate, centrist candidate? Or will history be made in 2020, with a woman elected as vice president of the United States? To discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar event featuring Dr Jennifer Lawless, the Commonwealth Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia; Kim Hoggard, former senior official in the Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush administrations; and USSC CEO Professor Simon Jackman in a conversation moderated by former ABC Washington Bureau Chief Zoe Daniel.

In Cool Town: How Athens, Georgia, Launched Alternative Music and Changed American Culture (University of North Carolina Press), Grace Elizabeth Hale tells the epic story of the Athens, Georgia music scene. Hale explains how a small college town hard to get to even from Atlanta gave rise to dozens of great bands. Some of them are household names like R.E.M. and The B-52's, but perhaps more interesting is the great music you might not know: the jittery dance-punk of Pylon, or the anguished, poetic songwriting of Vic Chesnutt. Hale also explores how these bands negotiated questions of race, class, sexuality, and authenticity. Cool Town shows how Athens, Georgia created a model of how you could “make it” without ever leaving your small town, and how a homegrown scene could feel like the biggest thing in the world. Grace Elizabeth Hale is the Commonwealth Professor of American Studies and History at the University of Virginia. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA program at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts. His plays have been produced, developed, or presented at IRT, Pipeline Theatre Company, The Gingold Group, Dixon Place, Roundabout Theatre, Epic Theatre Company, Out Loud Theatre, Naked Theatre Company, Contemporary Theatre of Rhode Island, and The Trunk Space. He is currently working on a series of 50 plays about the 50 U.S. states. His website is AndyJBoyd.com, and he can be reached atandyjamesboyd@gmail.com.
