One in Ten Soundbite | How Good Are Parents At Recognizing Grooming? with Elizabeth Jeglic, Ph.D.
Would you recognize grooming if you saw it? We all think we know what it means, but that doesn’t mean we’re any good at spotting it—even if we’re parents determined to protect our kids from abuse. In fact, if anything, we’re overconfident about our ability to recognize grooming behaviors. Dr. Elizabeth Jeglic returns to One in Ten podcast to discuss recent research on the topic in this latest episode.

One in Ten: Climate Change and Violence Against Children, with Jorge Cuartas, Ph.D.
All of us have had to give more thought to climate change and its effects in recent years. But to what degree have we yet reckoned with the way in which climate change may increase violence against children?
Which children are most likely to be affected? What preventative measures can we take now to help mitigate that risk? And how should this knowledge shape our services to children and families, both now and in the future? On this One in Ten podcast episode, we spoke with Dr. Jorge Cuartas, assistant professor of applied psychology at New York University and senior consultant on violence against children at the World Bank.
