How biology & culture shape the way we parent: The author examines both the cultural biases reflected in parenting practices and the underlying biological needs of infants. Small is a member of a new academic field called ethnopediatrics. Ethno means the study of cultures and how they compare to each other. Ethnopediatrics focuses on child-raising practices across cultures and how different parenting styles affect the physical and emotional health of infants. Researchers in this field include pediatricians, child development researchers and anthropologists.
