Curious Neuron
Curious Neuron takes a balanced & mindful approach to parenting that is grounded in science. Parenting is much more than knowing how to handle our kids's behaviour. It requires us to know how to manage our own emotions and behaviours which takes lots of practice, learning and unlearning. We take a more holistic approach to parenting and not only help you understand your child's development but also support your parenting journey by helping you nurture your well-being and personal growth. Every Monday we chat with an expert or summarize a research article in a relatable and applicable way. Our host, Cindy Hovington, mom of 3 and neuroscientist has chatted with leading experts in health, behavioural psychology, leadership and social sciences including Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Marc Brackett, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Dr. Kristen Neff or authors like Justin Baldoni, Amy Morin and Stephanie Harrison. Parents say that "listening to Curious Neuron is like receiving a warm hug from Cindy every week" because parents feel seen, validated, more knowledgable and less alone in their journey. Listen now!
