Ever Googled your child’s symptoms at 2 a.m. and ended up more anxious than when you started? You’re not alone — and Brown University economist and author Emily Oster has made it her mission to replace parenting panic with actual data.
In this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Oster to tackle the questions that keep parents up at night: How much screen time is really too much? What do you do about a picky eater? Does it actually matter if your child sleeps in your own bed? And what does the evidence really say about breastfeeding, drinking during pregnancy, and skipping that Sunday morning birthday party?
Emily also gets candid about her own parenting fails — including the fact that she knows exactly what consistency does for children’s behavior, and still can’t always pull it off.
