About Half Full: Science For Raising Happy Kids
This blog is about science-based parenting advice. I'm a sociologist and the executive director of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, and since I'm reading all the research related to raising happy children anyway, I thought we might as well make it USEABLE to parents. We hope this is a valuable counterpoint to some of the more opinion-based parenting advice platforms that are out there, especially because sorting out fact from fiction can be confusing when it comes to parenting.
That said, this blog is also about me and my children. It represents the intersection of my brain and my heart: my intellectual training in the social sciences and my very real, sometimes raw, experiences as a mother. Visit Half Full Blog. |
