As a pediatrician, spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, and author of The Toddler Brain: Nurture the Skills Today that Will Shape Your Child’s Tomorrow, Dr. Laura Jana is dedicated to one thing in particular: helping anyone who takes care of children figure out how best to do exactly that. Much like her book, the conversation on today’s podcast touches on a range of topics, including how to help children who have difficulty falling asleep, the importance of establishing nighttime routines that incorporate habits of hygiene, how and why the use of technology affects the sleep cycle, when breastfeeding becomes more of a comfort for a child than a nutritional necessity, and the most common mistakes she sees parents make that could be having a harmful effect on their children.   Tune in for the full discussion and check out the following resources for more information: Healthychildren.org Kidshealth.org Drlaurajana.com
