Beyond excited to share, "Best Practices for Recruiting and Retaining Fathers in Parenting Research: Insights from Fathering Researchers", led by @aadeneault.bsky.social with amazing co-authors @julia-feldman.info @alpaytuglu.bsky.social @sjss.bsky.social and others not on BlueSky 😄

Infographic describing how to recruit fathers in research -- successful practices recommended by researchers specializing in fatherhood. The Recruitment strategies include team composition (ensuring presence of men, ethnocultural representation, and heavy training), recruitment locations and methods (prioritizing direct community-based approaches to recruit fathers where they are and building trusting relationships with community partners), specifically targeting fathers (using the word "dad" or "father" in recruitment materials instead of parent, using visuals featuring fathers), and being flexible (adapting data collection schedules and using technology to meet fathers where they are). Retention strategies include building a trusting relationship with fathers and maintaining contact between waves of the study

The best thing about teaching is learning. I love revisiting the literature in an area and realizing there is something new and interesting or even something old that I missed or overlooked. Teaching is an excellent way to make sure that you spend your whole life learning.

Here are some recent books on effective learning written for students. Though most are written by psychologists, all are appropriate for students majoring in any topics. I can't pick one, b/c each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I hope you (& other people) find this list useful. #edusky

Book covers for the following books on effective learning, written for students (in no particular order):

1) Ace That Test: A Student's Guide to Learning Better (Sumeracki, Nebel, Kuepper-Tetzel, & Kaminske)

2) A Guide to Effective Studying and Learning: Practical Strategies from the Science of Learning (Rhodes, Cleary, & DeLoche)

3) Learn Like a Pro: Science-Based Tools to Become Better at Anything (Oakley & Schewe)

4) Outsmart Your Brain: Why Learning Is Hard and How You Can Make It Easy (Willilngham)

5) Study Like a Champ: The Psychology-Based Guide to "Grade A" Study Habits (Gurung & Dunlosky)

‘Difficult’ children are only slightly more likely to have insecure attachments with parents

The quality of a child’s attachments to caregivers influences healthy development. And most kids with difficult temperaments do form secure attachments with their parents.
