Media

I regularly give interviews—in person, by phone, via email, or through teleconference—that offer research-based advice and insights about parenting, education, and topics related to child and adolescent development.

My areas of expertise include youth civic engagement, volunteering, empathy, teen identity development, parent-school-community partnerships, role modeling, social-emotional learning, integrity, resilience, service-learning, moral development, effects of social media on children, mentoring, youth sports, teen risk-taking, family engagement in education, and youth leadership.
