Craig H. Hart
From the time he was a university student—taking a child development class to learn something about the baby he and his wife, Kerstine, had just had—until now, Professor Craig H. Hart has been studying children, parents, and families from both an academic and a personal perspective. His research has included time spent systematically observing children interact with peers on numerous playgrounds, including the BYU Child and Family Studies Laboratory (a preschool). He has published numerous studies from parent-child interaction data gathered in China, Russia, Australia, Japan, and various parts of the United States. An internationally recognized scholar and the father of four children, Professor Hart is chair of Marriage, Family, and Human Development at Brigham Young University.
