HilgerThe significance of early childhood skill development and its influence on long-term income and success differentials is widely recognized today. However, there exists a reluctance within society to allocate substantial resources toward extensive research and development endeavors aimed at innovating and enhancing the effectiveness of this pivotal learning process.While discussions about educational inequality receive significant attention, it is important to note that formal education constitutes only a small portion of a child's overall time. This places the primary responsibility for child skill development on parents as a private obligation, without providing them adequate training or addressing...2023-08-0257 min

While many aspects of this type of parenting are good for children, it has largely negative effects on parents' mental health. Primary caregivers, mostly women, bear the burden of child-rearing.

In this episode, Stef shares how she copes with the heavy load of “intensive” parenting and offers a pretty awesome new way to deal with the cultural norms that expe...2023-04-1117 min
