In this insightful episode of the Super Daddy Club Podcast, we sit down with Ashley Merryman, co-author of the best-selling books Nurture Shock and Top Dog. Ashley dives deep into the science behind parenting, focusing on key topics such as the role of sleep in child development, how praise and motivation shape behavior, and why the cultural attitude towards sleep has had lasting negative impacts on both children and adults. Discover how sleep deprivation not only affects cognitive function but also has long-term consequences like obesity, ADHD, and depression. Ashley also sheds light on the evolving conversation around race, and why children may hold the key to understanding these complex social dynamics. If you’re a parent or educator looking to understand the science of motivation and healthy development, this episode is a must-listen!
