This new season is all about risk/benefit calculation and understanding trends and analyzing data - not exactly quick or easy, especially when we are busy doing other things! Laura and Sarah discuss how they are handling it, and then are joined by an expert guest today on this topic -- Dr Kelly Fradin, a pediatrician who has been working on making the analysis easier and more understandable for the rest of us. She talks all about risk, pandemic challenges, and kids' mental health, as she literally wrote a book on the subject this summer (Parenting in a Pandemic - definitely check it out for more info!). In the Q&A, Laura and Sarah delve into a listener's struggles with her planning nature during the first year of her baby's life.
