Parenting For The Present

Sleep - if we're lucky, we spend a third of our life doing it. If we're not, we may experience interference with our health, ability to learn, and daily life. This is especially true for our children, as they are growing and developing in the early and adolescent stages of their lives. Dr. Hilary Pearson recognizes the importance of good sleep for children, and has made it her focus on the team she leads at Cook Children's Sleep Center. She joins us today to share her wisdom and best practices for consistent, restful sleep and the healthy life that can come from it.

2020 brought a reality that none of us saw coming. Whether great or small, all of us have felt the effects. As parents, it has made this summer look vastly different than we expected. So how are families coping with the change? How are kids staying active, but staying safe? How are parents that can't send their kids to camps not losing their minds?? Our three hosts are joined by two of their colleagues, Dr. Karen McClard and Karen Kassanoff, to discuss the world in which we currently live, and how to make the most of this unexpected season.
