1 小时 7 分钟Welcome to Intelligence Squared.
I'm Connor Boyle.
It's the Sunday debate
and we're revisiting a conversation from 2018 in which we got to the heart of nature versus nurture.
How much do our parents influence the people we turn out to be?
It might feel like the most natural thing in the world,
but parenting how to do it well and the tools to do it with is a multi billion dollar industry.
Books such as Raising Happy Kids and the Conscious Parent tell us
that we're very much in control of the but is it really that Simple?
Back in 2018, we brought together a panel of experts to explore just how important parenting is.
We were joined by professor of behavioral genetics Robert Ploman, Susan Paulby,
the developmental clinical psychologist, therapist,
parenting counselor and broadcaster Anne Pleshette Murphy and Stuart Ritchie,
who you may have heard on the podcast previously for his book Science Fictions,
and he's a lecturer in social genetics and developmental psychiatry.
Our host for the debate was Dr. And TV presenter Xand Van Tullikin.
