1-2-3 Magic👍 Recommends
…discussing evidence-based parenting strategies and behavior modification techniques
“So 1-2-3 magic is one of these sort of evidence-based parenting approaches, which is just, it's a particular way to kind of scaffold, like when somebody, your kid does something bad, you give them like three warnings, and then there's a timeout. It's very effective.”

Cripsheet👍 Recommends
…discussing emily oster's second book on parenting and breastfeeding evidence
“I had written Expecting Better, which is a book about pregnancy. And then I was not sure if I was going to write a second book. It's like a long time between the two books. I had to have a second kid and all kinds of other stuff. But I think the thing that ultimately pushed me over into writing Cripsheet, which talks all about breastfeeding, among many other things, is the emails that I kept getting from dads.”
