Society's Promise to Parents - Dr. Dana Suskind [382]

You should not have to go it alone as a parent. In fact, the United States fails parents in many ways that lead to poor outcomes for children’s brain development. In this episode, Hunter talks to Dr. Dana Suskind, world-class pediatric surgeon, social scientist, and best-selling author of Thirty Million Words, about her latest book, Parent Nation, and the ways we parents can start to expect and demand more as the caretakers of the next generation. If you enjoyed this episode, and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.
