Research has shown that strong, adaptive, and supportive parents are the best at insulating their children from all but the biggest catastrophes and preventing stress. What Kind of Parent Am I? uses a specially created survey to empower parents to deal directly with their unique challenges and become the best parents they can be.

Toxic stress can occur in any home, rich or poor, regardless of age, education, or walk of life.

Research has shown that adaptive, supportive parents are the best
at insulating their children from all but the biggest catastrophes.
Exposure to “toxic stress” in childhood can cause depression,
alcoholism, obesity, violent behaviour, heart disease, and even
cancer in adulthood. Parents who are less sensitive or attentive
or who regularly misinterpret their children’s needs can let too
much stress trickle through, or even cause it in the first place,
which can carry on to the next generation.

What Kind of Parent Am I? uses specially created surveys
to identify problem areas for parents. With recommended
resources and advice throughout, Dr. Letourneau informs and
empowers parents to deal directly with their unique risks and
challenges, helping them become the best parents they can be.

Dr. Nicole Letourneau is a research chair in parent–infant mental health at the University of Calgary. Her research has been featured in the Globe and Mail and Huffington Post and on CTV News, Global News, and the CBC. She lives in Calgary, Alberta.
