This inter-conversation brings together researchers from across Asia and the United Kingdom to explore the nature of parenting and parents’ well-being from diverse cultural perspectives. The session features five presentations exploring various dimensions of parenting across different cultural settings, including the impact of economic pressures on parental mental health, parent-child relationships and their developmental implications, emotional and attachment dynamics in families, and the role of traditional beliefs and cultural practices in contemporary parenting. Through comparative and culturally-situated research, the speakers highlight both universal and culturally-specific aspects of parenting experiences. The session provides a platform for cross-cultural dialogue about the challenges parents face and the diverse ways in which families promote children’s development and parental well-being.
