This NYU Shanghai Spring 2026 certificate program is designed for accomplished professionals and executives who want a practical, supportive introduction to university-level teaching.

Course Information
Parenting in Contemporary China offers a thoughtful, research-informed look at how adults influence children's development in today's rapidly changing social and cultural landscape. Grounded in real-life Chinese family experiences, this discussion-based course explores practical topics such as parenting styles, emotion coaching, digital-age challenges, and common myths like "tiger parenting."
Designed for parents, future parents, educators, grandparents, and anyone interested in child development, the course provides clear insights, practical tools, and a supportive space for reflection—no prior experience required.
This course invites you to step back from the daily rush and take a thoughtful look at parent-child relationships. Rather than offering "perfect" prescriptions for parenting, this course focuses on what actually shapes children's development over time—across infancy, childhood, and adolescence—and how everyday parenting choices, emotions, and habits make a difference.
What You'll Gain
A clearer understanding of yourself and your child, and a deeper appreciation of the "village" that shapes Chinese families today. If you have a child, a new perspective on your child's unique personhood, psychology, and behavior.
An understanding of current research and theories on parenting and its impact on children, with an emphasis on parenting throughout the lifespan.
A toolkit of ideas in parenting you can start using immediately at home or in the future.
Self-care and coping strategies, and support systems to reduce stress and burnout.
