    The Power of Reading with Victoria Rodriquez of Save the Children

    2026-03-23 | 28 mins.
    Victoria Rodriguez from Save the Children joined us to talk about the importance of childhood literacy. Reading to your child, even in the womb, can shape their brain and help form emotional bonds. Victoria shares how to create reading routines for children of all ages, and how even just a little bit of reading each day can make a big impact. She also tells us that exposing our babies to books before they can read is beneficial as well. The first five years of life are critical to a child’s brain development, and Victoria is here to teach us how to set our kids up for success through reading.

    The Science of Mattering with Dr. Lindsey Burghardt

    2026-03-19 | 26 mins.
    What is mattering, and how do we make ourselves and others feel like they matter? Dr. Lindsey Burgardt is back (we did an interview after the Palisades fire together) to dive deep into what it means to matter. Dr. Burghardt is the Chief Science Officer at the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, and some of her most recent research focuses on Mattering. 

    Today, Dr. Burghardt has practical advice for all of us, including parents, to help make both kids and adults feel like they matter and to understand where that stems from. She also gives us some ways we can foster mattering for ourselves as adults! Whatever our age, we all want to feel seen and feel we matter, and Dr. Burghardt helps show us what mattering can do for us.

    Amy McCready Guides us From Sibling Rivalry to Sibling Harmony

    2026-03-12 | 32 mins.
    Sibling rivalry, a topic we hear about growing up in a family with siblings and one we become hyper aware of when raising kids of our own. Part of it is natural and lots of sibling rivalry can be provoked by dynamics parents create, consciously or subconsciously. The good news? Amy MccCeady is here to share her expert with them on how to help mitigate sibling rivalry, and also how to become aware of changing habits to make sure our kids grow up, supporting their siblings and not competing with them, as much as possible. 

    As a parenting expert and mom of two grown sons, Amy is no stranger to sibling rivalry. She walks us through some of the mistakes parents make when navigating conflict with their children, and how they can address rivalry in a healthier manner. She also reassures parents that some competition among siblings is normal and healthy; it can even help them learn how to manage conflict in other relationships in the future.
