like ours, with respect to supports for families, especially parental leave. As a developmental psychologist as well as a mother and grandmother, I am keenly aware of the importance of providing men and women alike with time to adjust to their new role as parents, time to learn the baby’s needs and rhythms, and time to sleep. And women who have given birth often need time to recover from giving birth. The business case for parental leave is strong. In the wake of California’s partially paid…

We often change the way we react to others, depending on the way to which they react to us. For example, if you are speaking to a parent or carer who is hearing impaired,…

The case that I chose from the database was the James Bain case. James Bain was an exonerate and he served 35 years in prison from 1974 to 2009.
