I am a mom and an academic.
I am exhausted wading through the thousands of opinions about parenting and wading through tons of contradictory information about what is good and what is bad for my children.
This site is my attempt to answer my biggest questions about the things that do and do not impact kids’ health and happiness.
My approach is to take an unbiased view and just look at the evidence. Not the “I know 2 children who suffered X because of Y” type of evidence and not the “Just because A happened and then B happened must mean A causes B (👇)” type of evidence.
I want to look at what multiple scientific studies, with lots of participants, in controlled conditions found when testing cause and effect. If you’re a nerd, I’m referring to meta-analyses.
If you want more data-driven answers to your most burning questions, stick around.
