056: How Daycare Impacts Your Baby’s Brain: The Science Erica Komisar Wants Every Parent to Know

Should you send your child to daycare? If you asked my guest today, she’d say absolutely NOT.

Erica Komisar is a psychological consultant bringing parenting and work/life workshops to clinics, schools, corporations, and childcare settings. She’s also the author of several books, including Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters and has appeared on major media networks such as CBS, ABC, FOX, and NPR.

I first discovered Erica’s work on Instagram – she was interviewed on Alex Clark’s “The Spillover Podcast” and I came across a clip on her feed of Erica talking about the emotional effects of sending infants to daycare, and I just knew I had to have her on the show.
In this conversation, we’re talking all about parenting and childhood mental illness, and what we can do as moms and dads to ensure the health and mental wellbeing of our kids.
