Postpartum Maternity Care Gaps with BabyCenter’s Robin Hilmantel

3/7/2024
Today Dr. Dan interviews Babycenter’s Robin Hilmantel about Babycenter’s recent research around "No mom left behind: Addressing postpartum maternity care gaps” and related maternal health support (US). Dr. Dan and Robin discuss several BabyCenter survey findings including: *Moms are facing a support crisis in the months immediately following birth, according to the BabyCenter survey. At home, moms are too often left to piece together their own postpartum care while balancing that with the health and well-being of their newborn. *As a result of a baby-focused approach to postnatal care, more moms feel prepared to care for their newborn (65%) than they do to care for themselves (47%). *First-time moms struggle with postpartum self-care: Only 38% feel properly prepared to take care of their own physical and emotional needs after giving birth. BabyCenter is the world's number one digital parenting resource reaching millions of new and expectant parents each month. The BabyCenter team conducts original research with a vision to create a world of healthy pregnancies, thriving children, and confident parents. Robin Hilmantel is the senior director of editorial strategy and growth at BabyCenter. Before joining the BabyCenter team, Hilmantel was the digital director at Women's Health. Robin has more than 14 years of experience in health and lifestyle journalism. For more information visit www.babycenter.com.

Nurturing Boys to Be Better Men with Shelly Vaziri Flais, MD, FAAP

2/29/2024
Dr. Dan and pediatrician (and mother of four) Dr. Shelly Vaziri Flais discuss the tools parents need to start the lifelong process of raising their boys into men who are mentally healthy, empathetic, and committed to gender equality. Dr. Flais explains concrete techniques for parents to push back against cultural stereotypes and toxic masculinity as they nurture their sons. Because “kids do as they see,” the work of being role models for gender equality starts in the home. This conversation-starter episode emphasizes the benefits of gender equality for boys and girls and men and women, and discusses it not only in the context of the family, but also the extended family, school, and greater community. The interview is inspired by Shelly’s book American Academy of Pediatrics’ Nurturing Boys to Be Better Men: Gender Equality Starts at Home. Shelly Vaziri Flais, MD, FAAP, is a board-certified practicing pediatrician, mother of three sons and one daughter, and an assistant professor of clinical pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. She is the author of Raising Twins, editor-in-chief of Caring for your School-Age Child, and co-editor of The Big Book of Symptoms.

A+ Parenting with Eva Moskowitz

11/30/2023
Dr. Dan interviews Eva Moskowitz, founder and CEO of Success Academy, about how parents can instill a lifelong love of learning in their children. They discuss her new book A+ PARENTING: The Surprisingly Fun Guide to Raising Surprisingly Smart Kids and teach listeners that regardless of where you live, your work-parent balance, or the age of your children, you can raise smart, successful, and intellectually engaged children. Dr. Dan and Eva go on to discuss Eva’s most important message: that parents can and should play a critical role in their children’s intellectual development. Children who continue to learn when they are outside of school will make far more progress than those who don’t, but parents need not attempt to recreate school at home. Instead, they can encourage their children to engage in fun activities that will have a huge impact on their creativity, intellectual curiosity, and attention span. Eva Moskowitz founded Success Academy Charter Schools in 2006. Success Academy has become one of the fastest-growing, highest-performing public charter school networks in the country, with more than 50 schools enrolling over 20,000 students. As a national leader, Eva speaks to diverse groups across the country and has shared her expertise with thousands of educators and visitors from around the world. She has testified before Congress about education and economics, and has worked with political leaders of both parties — from presidents and governors to mayors and state legislators — to advocate for children’s educational futures.
