   Learning in the Age of AI with Dr. Jennifer Steele

   AI has already become a part of our children’s education, so the question is: how do we make sure we’re raising thinkers, not just users? Dr. Jennifer Steele joins us to discuss why emotional intelligence, self-regulation, curiosity, and persistence matter in an AI world, what classrooms should protect as technology evolves, and how parents can help kids become resilient problem solvers.

   Microdose: Sleep and Melatonin

   Melatonin may help some children fall asleep, but Dr. Terry Nguyen says it shouldn't be the first solution for sleep struggles. In this episode, she explains when melatonin may have a role, why sleep routines should come first, and what parents should know before giving their child an over-the-counter supplement.
