You Are the Technology That Builds Your Child's Brain

Good Inside with Dr. Becky vor 1 Monat

Dr. Dana Suskind and Dr. Becky talk about why the messy, inconvenient, friction-filled version of connection is the version that actually wires a child's brain, and why a frictionless AI that always agrees with you might be the real risk.

There's a lot of noise about what AI will do to jobs. What will
it do to one of the most important jobs in the world:
parenting?

Dr. Dana Suskind is a pediatric cochlear implant surgeon and
neuroscientist who has spent her career on how young brains get
built. In this conversation, she and Dr. Becky start with a piece
of bait — can a parent be replaced by a machine? — and spend the
next half hour on the science of why the answer is no.

They get into attachment and why the messy, inconvenient,
friction-filled version of connection is the version that
actually wires a child's brain. Why a frictionless AI that always
agrees with you might be the real risk. A rubric (DETECT) for
judging any piece of kid-facing tech before it comes in the
house. And the idea Dana calls the most freeing thing she learned
writing her new book: good-enough parenting isn't a nice thing to
say, it's a biological necessity.
