My guest today is Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD. Michaeleen is a global health correspondent for NPR’s Science Desk and the author of the New York Times bestseller Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans. Michaeleen has a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Berkeley, California, and a bachelor’s degree in biology from Caltech. For the past decade, Doucleff has reported on disease outbreaks and children’s health for NPR.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:
- Key elements of parenting we have lost in the Western world
- Children’s innate capacity for helpfulness and autonomy
- How the child world and the adult world has been separated
- Ways parent and child interests can be harmoniously integrated
- The value of doing less as a parent
- And the importance of allowing a child’s authentic interests to be expressed
