Join me as I talk to family relations expert Dr. Taniesha Burke from Germany about the importance of parent-child relationships, how to foster them and the importance of understanding culture and meaning-making. Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, with its’ more hierarchical, autocratic parenting style, Dr. Burke studied and discusses how Jamaican mothers perceive closeness and intimacy and how they deal with their children who resist parental rules and requests.

You can purchase her journals here:

The Parenting Journal: Key To Strengthening Your Parent-Child Relationship

Rediscovering Our Love: A Parental Appreciation Journal

Journal of Generations: A Gift From Grandparent To Grandchild

Dr. Burke’s research:

An Exploration of Jamaican Mothers’ Perceptions of Closeness and Intimacy in the Mother–Child Relationship during Middle Childhood

Jamaican Mothers’ Perceptions of Children’s Strategies for Resisting Parental Rules and Requests
