Countless books, websites, podcasts, and other media exist to guide people raising children. If our Raising Curious Learners co-host Ann could recommend only one book on parenting, it would be The Gardener and the Carpenter: What the New Science of Child Development Tells Us About the Relationship Between Parents and Children. In this episode, the books' author Allison Gopnik, a professor and leader in the field of cognitive science, helps parents and guardians make sense of–and let go of some of the notions they have about–their role in their kids' learning and development. She shares conclusions on childhood development and family dynamics from both her research and her personal experiences as a parent and grandparent.
