Happy 2024! This is the January 2024 Sitting Down with Dr. Dan bonus episode. Today Dr. Dan and podcast producer Laura Rossi discuss parenting trends and predictions of 2024, gentle-ish parenting, TikTok, benign neglect and much more. We also provide links to some great articles!

Listeners asked questions about parenting news for 2024, Producer Laura Rossi researched and found a great article on Today.com: the article is by Rosie Colosi “Here are the 7 parenting trends you’ll see more of in 2024” and it was published on Jan. 12, 2024.

Dr. Dan and Laura also discuss the benign neglect trend. You can read more about it in PureWow’s article “5 Parenting Trends That Will Be Huge in 2024” by Alexia Dellner, published Dec 14, 2023.

And the episode wraps up with a talk about TikTok and a great article on The Kids Matter Parenting Blog, “5 Things Parents Need to Know about Tik-Tok” by Susan Stutzman, updated for 2024. Link.
