Description
You probably remember peanut butter being everywhere when you were a kid: commercials, birthday parties, packed in your school lunchbox. Now peanuts are notable for their absence. What accounts for such a dramatic change in such a short amount of time? When did something so commonplace become so high-risk? Dr. Gideon Lack led the study that aimed to understand what happened. Today on ParentData, he explains the precipitous rise in peanut allergies over the last twenty years, our own unfortunate role in the rise of allergies, and the best ways to safely introduce allergens to your babies.
Read Dr. Lack’s randomized LEAP trial paper in the NEJM and the American Academy of Pediatrics’ subsequent revised recommendations.

Many people wrote in to ask whether there were a similar set of lessons for math or, more generally, what we know about math learning. I’m delighted today to talk about these questions with Shalinee Sharma, co-founder of the nonprofit curriculum development company Zearn. Want more on pregnancy and parenting?
