Your Parenting Mojo

Jen Lumanlan

Hosted by Jen Lumanlan M.S., M.Ed., the Your Parenting Mojo podcast distills scientific research on parenting and child development into tools parents can use to make decisions about raising their children. Through a mixture of interviews with the world’s experts on topics like anxiety, body image, and sex education as well as narrated episodes, the podcast takes an intersectional feminist approach to understanding children’s development and learning, and our role in that process. We don’t assume that scientific research is value-free, and we step outside the research to question whether it’s contributing to our understanding of wellbeing – or perpetuating patriarchy and White supremacy.

In this conversation with Dr. Bacon we learn how myths we all learned (and continue to learn) about weight and health interact with fears we have for our children’s wellbeing, and how we can begin to relax.
