Description

This class is designed to give you scientific insight about many different aspects of parenting. We will discuss specific questions like “how much screen time is okay?”, “when should I let my kid have social media?”, and “what do appropriate boundaires look like?” We will also discuss big-picture topics such as maintaining your own mental health as a parent, parenting across cultures, and, ultimately, how we can effectively use science to parent our children well. Open to everyone, whether you call yourself a parent or not!
