| 16 Apr 2020 | What new parents should know about baby development and the brain | 01:01:00 | |
In today’s episode, I chat with Jenny and Carrie about their advice to new parents. We talk about the importance of a stimulating environment, which doesn’t mean having a lot around your baby, but rather being present, getting down on the floor with them during tummy time, and having zero screen time. We might not realize the importance of tummy time, skin-to-skin and the environment. We talk about why these are so important. Did you know that babies should not skip crawling? We discuss the brain in terms of developing and eliminating connections. Search for a past podcast episode or guest: https://curiousneuron.com/podcast/ Want to join The Reflective Parent Club?

| 01 Apr 2020 | Understanding childhood anxiety before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic | 00:54:51 | |
In this episode, we discuss childhood anxiety. How do we differentiate between worry and symptoms of anxiety in a child? Symptoms of childhood anxiety can often manifest as challenging behavior or tantrums in young children. Dr. Yee explains the importance of providing children with a safe space to talk and express their emotions. Given that most of us are experiencing some level of stress giving the current COVID-19 pandemic, she also discusses stress in adults and children during a crisis.

| 11 Jun 2020 | Why are rules important for my child's development? | 00:41:26 | |
Boundaries (also called limits or rules) are more important than we might think. They give children a sense of security, even if might think so given that they love to push boundaries! In today’s episode, I chat with Jess, a therapist and founder of Our Mama Village. She provides examples of boundaries, how to set them, reinforce them and how to control our own emotions when boundaries are pushed. Boundaries are linked to the parenting style called Authoritative parenting. I provide the details of a study that describes 4 different parenting styles (See resources below) and how authoritative parenting leads to a child feeling more confident during academic challenges.

In today’s episode, we speak with Anna Skates, a child and family advocate, parent coach, and founder of Otterly. In a world where our kids are rarely considered, we need to take a step back and see them as human beings experiencing life. Why is my kid reacting this way? How is my kid experiencing this moment? Anna gives us some important mantras that can be repeated daily to improve how we react and understand heated moments. She explains why we need to be curious about how our child is experiencing the world and what we can do to support them.

| 11 Apr 2022 | Teaching children about gratitude | 00:19:25 | |
In today’s episode, I am solo and I discuss an article I found that explains how to teach children about gratitude. Reminding our children to say thank you when they receive a gift isn’t as impactful as we might think! We also need to keep in mind a child's development, we can’t expect a 3-year-old to say thank you every time! Take out your note pads because at the end of this episode I give you tips you can apply today! I also share a story from my home. If you have a child that looks up to their older sibling and does everything they do, you will want to listen to the first 7 minutes of this episode!

| 16 May 2022 | How to teach young children to think critically with Julie Bogart | 00:59:32 | |
In today’s episode, we are joined by Julie Bogart, author of Raising Critical Thinkers and The Brave Learner. We all know the story of the three little pigs, but have you heard it from the wolf’s perspective? Every story has two sides, Julie explains how we can use simple storytelling and poems to introduce the concept of critical thinking to our young children. She urges parents to stop with the “parental propaganda” and allow children to collect their own data and draw conclusions for themselves. Getting your kids to cooperate boils down to understanding why your child doesn’t want to cooperate, what is the WHY behind the meltdown?

| 14 Nov 2022 | How to address your child's most difficult behaviours with Bryana Kappadakunnel | 01:00:40 | |
In today’s episode, we meet with Bryana Kappadakunnel from @consciousmommy. We’re doing things a little differently this week: we’re covering the TOP 10 questions that parents ask me about their child’s behaviour. Tune in to hear how Bryana would deal with rudeness, hitting, whining, trouble sleeping, lying, ungratefulness and constant interrupting. I love how Bryana gives us a framework to deal with these difficult situations. Take your Curious Neuron Notebook out! You will understand how to connect, investigate, offer a boundary and teach your child after today's episode. Not only do we talk about how to deal with your own child, but we discuss how this might be implemented in the classroom. Here are my two favorite quotes from the episode: “We have to be the emotionally mature one in the relationship with our child.” - Bryana “Conscious parenting invites you to look at your own ego and own needs.” - Bryana Thank you to our supporter the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro.

| 21 Nov 2022 | Tips to foster your child's interest in science with Emily Calandrelli | 00:40:28 | |
In today’s episode, we are joined by Emily Calandrelli from Emily’s Wonder Lab! Emily is an MIT engineer turned Emmy-nominated science TV host, producer, and Author. Like me, she was a first-generation university student, meaning she was the first in her family to get a degree. What I find most interesting is that Emily wasn’t particularly into science as a child - but being creative was really important. Join us to learn how you can help foster a love of science in your kids - hint: you don’t have to like science yourself! We speak about the issues we face as science communicators and the importance of having compassion and empathy when sharing with the public. Tune in to find out what the “What if/question wall” is and how you can use it in your home to nurture curiosity in your children. Follow Emily on Instagram. To foster interest in space for the whole family, follow Nasa on Instagram or YouTube. Stay Curious and Keep Exploring: This book is for parents and children to enjoy and learn science together!

| 12 Dec 2022 | Why we need to talk to our kids about sex with Sarah Jones | 00:42:16 | |
Content warning: sexual violence, sex industry, difficult conversations In today’s episode we are joined by Sarah Jones, Tony winner writer, performer and director of Sell Buy Date. Sarah and I had very important and uncomfortable conversations about sex, the sex industry, sex education, and gendered violence. You might be thinking, “what does this have to do with being a parent?!?” well, tune in and you’ll understand exactly how necessary these conversations are. Sarah discusses what she learned through making her unorthodoc (documentary) ranging from adultifying our young daughters, how Barbie is directly related to the sex industry, and how important it is to meet everyone you meet with compassion and curiosity. Questions we can ask ourselves as parents include: Am I forcing my kids to hug grandma even when they don’t want to? Am I telling my young boys they are so handsome that they’re going to be chased after by girls when they’re older? Am I scared to talk to my kids about sex? If so, then today’s episode is definitely for you! This episode is like nothing you’ve heard before on the Curious Neuron Podcast, so grab your partner and listen. Join Sarah Jones on Instagram here Organizations to look into You can watch Sell Buy Date on Amazon Prime or Apple TV. The deeply personal film is a witty documentary / narrative hybrid following Jones and her multicultural characters (she plays 5 characters in the film!) on a journey exploring our relationship to the sex industry via Sarah’s hilarious comedy and social justice lens. Sell/Buy/Date is written, and directed by Sarah Jones, and is executive produced by Meryl Streep with appearances by Ilana Glazer and Bryan Cranston. Watch the trailer here.

Unwanted comments from family members judging how you are parenting your child, big emotions from your child because they are tired and overwhelmed, and hanging out with that family member that always drinks too much and says uncomfortable comments.

| 15 Dec 2022 | Your child isn't misbehaving, they are dysregulated | 00:19:16 | |
The word I would like you to remember today is "dysregulated". Is my child dysregulated? Am I dysregulated? How can I regulate my child? The reason why I am chatting about this in today's podcast is that I attended this outdoor event this week and as the night went on and the children around me clearly became dysregulated, they started acting out and parents started yelling at them and getting upset.
