Better treats for children
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of a baby's labor experience on stress responses, the effects of movement on school performance, and rethinking treats for children.
In this episode, Greg Dickens and I discuss how a baby’s experience of labour shapes their stress responses in childhood, and why that matters. We talk about how a few minutes of movement affect how children perform in school. We then talk about treats - what they are, what they could be, and how we can set them up differently. Finally, we answer a listener question about how we respond to research that suggests that we or our children might be at higher risk of health problems in the future.
