Today on the pod we welcome THE go to parenting expert in the research space: Emily Oster!!!! She’s a best-selling author, Brown Professor of Economics, data-driven pregnancy and parenting expert and is here to ease all of our minds about this whole parenting thing. On this episode, we chat with Emily on how to cut through the fear that comes with parenting, and help YOU make informed decisions based on *actual* data (rather than obsessing over what our mother in law or neighbor or that one viral instagram post that totally freaked you out). Tune in as Emily shares: • The 3 things you need to provide for your kid to set them up for success • Is Cocomelon *really* rotting your child’s brain? • How much screen time is too much screen time? • Her GAME CHANGING tip when it comes to discipline • The secret to making every parenting decision A MILLION TIMES EASIER (no, seriously) • What the research says about “redshirting” kids with summer birthdays in terms of kindergarten readiness • Find the episode transcript here!
