A whlie back I cited the work of CNN / 60 Minutes alum Laurie Segall. She has just launched her "Mostly Human" podcast effort (permanent link in my right-hand links column).
First up: "Parenting at the Speed of AI."
The guest is Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist.
Useful to re-visit my prior topically relevant cite of Dr. Jonathan Haidt here.
As a doting grandfather / great-grandfather, I have keen familial interest here, especially in light of paradigm-shifting recent Big Tech social media rulings in the courts.

Thus, a cradle-to-career approach to educating children must be mindful of how children learn to learn, not just what they learn (4). Combining insight, scientific acumen, and exquisite narrative, The Intellectual Lives of Children allows readers to peer into the minds of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers as they explore and learn in everyday moments, emphasizing what constitutes real learning.
Children are bursting with playful curiosity. By age 3, they ask questions about everything they see—Why does a tree have leaves? Why does the Sun come up each day?—and by age 5, they pose even deeper questions, about God and morals. These questions not only provide fodder for knowledge, they help children discover the causal relationships among things—all with adult mentors by their side…
TOTALLY ABSURD OFF-TOPIC ERRATUM
Opened my email this morning. Always love a good laugh.
OK neuro-nitwits, I left Las Vegas in 2013 to return to the SF Bay Area. Then moved to BMore 7 years ago. Don't quit your Thailand day jobs (btw, note that I pulled it up in Photoshop and quickly smudged the lower-right Q-Code).
More shortly...
