Research really only tells us what happens for the average child, what happens for those children.

There's always exceptions and that's why it's so important to trust yourself as a parent because even if research says this is what happens, it doesn't mean every single child.

That's why research is just kind of a guide for us and not necessarily like the end-all be-all for a parenting.

So I definitely think when parents say that to me, I would say, well, it's possible. I'm not saying that it's completely impossible that your one-year-old has learned from this show.

But what the research shows is that most children under three cannot learn from videos and even if they do learn from videos, the learning doesn't seem to be as deep.

So even if they're meditating a word, they're not generalizing it to other situations, which means they don't really have the word as a communication tool.

It's more just kind of parroting the word.

Welcome back to the show. Thank you for joining me as I welcome another amazing guest onto this podcast.

Remember to leave a review and share this podcast so we can continue to have another great year of this show.

On this episode, I welcome Kara Goodwin.

She is coming on to talk about our certain TV shows harmful for your child.

She is a child psychologist, mom of three, who transits the research on child development and parenting in an easy to understand way for parents to apply and use.

Thank you so much for joining me today, Kara. Thank you so much for having me.

I'm so excited. I discovered your platform parenting translator on Instagram about I was the last year and I know you've been doing what you do for a while and I'm like, how did I not know about this account.

And that's kind of the beauty of social is that you end up finding all these amazing accounts and you're like, wow, this is incredible.

The information that you provide is so useful. And like I said, you're basically taking all of the research out there that we do have on child development, parenting, anything parents are asking.

And just allowing parents to see the information out there so that they can make the best choices for their children.

Tell me more about yourself and what prompted you to start to do this, especially on social media.

Yes, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be on your podcast.

So I am a child psychologist and a mother, as you mentioned, and I was a child psychologist first.

And then when I became a mother, it became clear to me, you know, I'd be talking to my other parent friends at the playground or whatever that we'd be talking about a problem with our kids.

And I would say, well, you know about like the research on this topic and they would look at me like, what are you talking about?
