- #342: Use the Secrets of Brain Science to Change Behavior (Yours and Your Child/ren's!)
Whether it's in our parenting approach that fixes power struggles, picky eating, respectful discipline exchanges, or any other area of your life, making changes that last is hard. We must stick with something long enough to see changes and make it our new habit. Things in our environment and our approach often sabotage our efforts at true lasting change. Remove these, and our rates of success vastly improve. In this episode I discuss what science has found about how to set ourselves up for success when it comes to sticking with the process long enough to create lasting change in our behavior that leads to success in reaching our goals.

Digital media companies know a lot about human psychology and brain development and use it to their advantage, to gain and hold not just children's, but adult attention too.
Join Erin and Gaia for a stimulating discussion about how digital media uses our psychology to grab our attention and keep us coming back, for kids and adults alike.
Gaia Bernstein is a Law Professor, Co-Director of the Institute for Privacy Protection and Co-Director of the Gibbons Institute for Law Science and Technology at the Seton Hall University School of Law.

The way we parent has a significant impact on how our children develop. But equally as important is their education and for me, the most challenging part of parenting has been finding the right educational fit for each of my children. Preschools offer a lot of great options. How do you know how to find the best fit for your individual child's strengths and personality? Formal education (5+) doesn't usually offer quite the same variety of opportunities, but school choice is becoming more prevalent.
