Brain health matters… and it's worth prioritizing with your children.

On today's episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum sits down with Marion Van Horn, PhD. Marion is a neuroscientist and a mom whose work took on a whole new meaning when it started to overlap with her everyday life. As she began to understand more about how babies' minds grow and develop, it reshaped the way she thought about parenting.

That journey led Marion to team up with an illustrator to create something special: a series of coloring books about the brain, designed to bring children and parents together. They are playful, meaningful, and full of simple ways to spark connection. And the truth is, it is never too early to help kids start understanding what is going on inside their own minds.

No matter where you are in your own parenting journey, one thing is clear. By listening to this podcast, you are choosing to grow, to make space, and to care with intention.
