Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcast

We always say that it takes a village to raise a kid. But, what about the parents? Do you think all your present knowledge is enough for all the parenting shenanigans you'll encounter? But, not to worry! Raising Parents is here to help you out!



That's why Parenting Science Labs, a division of LMSL, the Life Management Science Labs, has created Raising Parents: The parenting science insights podcast. We know that being a parent is a never-ending educational experience so we invited guests experienced in both academia and life to give you the knowledge you need in your journey to being the parent your kids need. Each topic addresses an element from the comprehensive framework of several domains and elements created by the Center for Parenting Science. Nothing but science-based knowledge is what we'll give you.
