Hi everyone! I just got back from the University of Pennsylvania, where I served on a conference panel talking about science journalism. It was a fun whirlwind trip.
A quick reminder that I’m running a flash Father’s Day sale! Get 20% off paid subscriptions through Sunday! Buy one for yourself or as a gift.
Today I want to know what your parenting questions are. What are you struggling with or curious about in the realm of parenting or child development? What do you want advice on? What topics do you want me to dig into?
If you ask a question I’ve addressed somewhere in the past, I’ll share links in the comments. Otherwise, I’ll add them to my master list of things to tackle here in the newsletter in the near future.
And: Go!
I’d love to read about: ADHD medication for kids, ADHD in girls, and phobias kids have and ways to deal with them--my daughter (just turned 7) has a fear of movies that didn’t used to seem like a big deal but has become more intense and is now stopping her from doing things and going places where a movie might be on so we’re going to begin to address it (among other things) with a therapist. But I remember students I worked with when I was a teacher who also had specific fears (one of the school mascot and one of fire drills) and wonder if phobias have increased as anxiety has increased and what the research says about best ways to address them.
what interventions are effective with ADHD, substance abuse prevention, uhhh.
