In this episode of The Parenting Pulse, we take you on a whirlwind tour of parenting innovations from around the world—like Japan’s childcare stipends, Finland’s flexible parental leave, and New Zealand’s virtual coaching for rural families. Then it’s time for fresh research: how reading four times a week boosts language skills, why emotion words tame toddler tantrums, and how 10 minutes of mindfulness can transform your mornings. Plus, a lightning round of “Did You Know?” facts to fuel your next playdate convo. Smart, surprising, and full of heart—this one’s for curious parents everywhere.
