This week we're tackling the trickiest parenting questions and dilemmas with help from science journalist, Melinda Wenner Moyer. Melinda is an award-winning journalist who writes about science, parenting, and medicine, and she’s a contributing editor at Scientific American, The New York Times, Washington Post, and other national outlets. Melinda's new book is called, How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes: Science-Based Strategies for Better Parenting—from Tots to Teens. Listen to hear Melinda talk about some of the research she uncovered on the best way to approach issues like bullying, racism, and selfishness with your kids. It's a fascinating listen.
