There is so much research out there for us parents – screentime, discipline, parenting styles, potty training, how to get our kids to eat anything green!  It can be super inundating to parse through all the different studies and opinions available to us. 

Even crazier – did you know that it can take an average of 17 years after publication, for the results of a study to reach it’s intended audience?  That’s wild!

Today’s guest, Dr. Cara Goodwin, is here to help clarify all this parenting research for us.  As a licensed clinical psychologist and mother of three, she specializes in child development and has spent years researching child psychology and neuroscience.

Dr. Goodwin’s nonprofit, Parenting Translator, translates recent scientific research into information that is helpful, relevant, and accurate for us parents, and that’s exactly what she does for us in today’s episode.
