Imagine you are a new parent. Welcome to some sleepless nights of trying to get your baby to sleep a few consolidated hours, feed every few, and get a few hours of rest of your own, while trying to do everything right by your newborn. For some new parents, with a smartphone at their bedside, a lot of googling happens in those first few weeks and months of their newborn’s life to find out what “normal” behaviour is for a baby – whether it’s about what that baby is currently up to or what their future might hold.
There are many questions and controversies that parents, researchers and others might wonder about throughout the course of a child’s development, for example:
is prenatal testing important?
what are the effects of certain drugs prenatally?
does media purported to make your baby smarter really work?
when should a caregiver introduce solids?
is circumcision necessary or important?
where should a baby sleep for the first year?
how does media consumption affect a child?
is there such a thing as too much much screen time?
is homeschooling a good idea?
what are some developmentally appropriate games or toys?
