Fatherhood plays a vital role in a child's emotional, social, and psychological development. Sometimes just showing up makes your child feel safe and seen. And children thrive when they feel seen, heard, and valued by their fathers. As part of our ongoing collaboration with Mobile Creches, The Indian Express brings you a Father's Day Special episode featuring Nikhil Taneja, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuvaa, a youth media and impact organization. Nikhil works at the intersection of youth, storytelling, and mental health. He also runs a page called BeADadYaar for talking about his relationship with his beautiful 15 month old daughter. In this conversation, we will hear a father's perspective on what it means to be there for your child. We will focus on how a father's emotional availability can profoundly impact a child's emotional well-being, teaching them how to navigate feelings and build healthy relationships.Hosted and produced by Niharika NandaEdited and mixed by Suresh PawarFirst episode in association with Mobile Creches:https://indianexpress.com/audio/3-things/mobile-creches-international-day-of-play-early-childhood-development/10733781/

In this episode of This Is How We Care, we sit down with developmental psychologist and author Dr. Darcia Narvaez to explore what children—and humanity—truly need to thrive.Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, Indigenous wisdom, and decades of research, Dr. Narvaez introduces the concept of the Evolved Nest: the caregiving system humans evolved with for 99% of our history—and how far modern culture has drifted from it.Together, Emily and Darcia unpack how early “undercare” shapes everything from individual anxiety to collective violence, how capitalism and colonization disrupted our natural caregiving systems, and what it looks like to return—without shame—to a more connected, communal, and life-affirming way of raising children.This conversation weaves together science, spirituality, grief, and hope, offering practical, everyday ways to begin re-nesting ourselves, our families, and our communities—starting now.This episode covers:What the Evolved Nest actually is (and why babyhood matters so much)How “undercare” shapes adult disconnection, greed, and burnoutThe role of touch, play, breastfeeding, and communal caregivingWhy nature connection and music are essential to human regulationHow the “Wetiko” mindset took hold—and how we heal itWhy children (and adults) need to be welcomed, not given "independence training"How to begin rebuilding village even inside modern lifeThis episode is an invitation to remember who we are, what we need, and the kind of world our children are asking us to build.To Connect with Dr. Narvaez: Website: https://nestedworld.org/Become a "Nesting Ambassador": https://nestedworld.org/nesting-ambassadors/Read "Restoring the Kinship Worldview"Read "The Evolved Nest"To Work with Emily — the Revillaging Mama: Revillage Your Life – A 4-month mentorship container to transform your experience from "isolated" to "supported", bringing to life much of what Darcia speaks about in the importance of community and villageThe Third Space – A community of revillagers bringing the village to life through practice, prayer and playThe Village Upgrade – A quick upgrade to align your precious resources of time, energy & money with the village you are calling inBOOK A FREE DISCOVERY CALL to explore the next layer of support for your revillaging journey

Parenting is full of questions, especially when it comes to those big milestones with kids and the myths that often surround them. In the latest episode of our Parent Talks podcast, we sit down with Encompass Developmental Specialist Emily Arkus. As a member of our Early Support for Infants and Toddlers team, Emily discusses the most common developmental milestones, the misconceptions that often surround them, and provides guidance on when caregivers should seek help if they have concerns.

Large gaps in language skills between children from different socioeconomic backgrounds emerge early and persist throughout schooling.

Thrive by Five Index Exposes Inequality in Early Childhood Development by Radio Islam

Professor Jack Shonkoff, Founding Director of Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child and Director of Connecting Science + Community, joins for a powerful conversation about the future of early childhood development (ECD). He reflects on decades of progress in making science actionable for policymakers, service providers and advocates; and shares why the next frontier must focus on the environments where families live. From poverty and housing to access to nutritious food, clean water and social capital, Shonkoff explains why community context is the missing piece in ensuring children everywhere can thrive. Key topics explored in this episode: Why ECD is a moral imperative and a foundation for a healthy, sustainable society How science — from neuroscience to immunology — is reshaping our understanding of child development Why one-size-fits-all programs fail, and how solutions must adapt to local contexts The misaligned incentives in philanthropy, evaluation and policymaking that slow progress How Connecting Science + Community is bridging research and grassroots action, with early examples of U.S. cities tackling housing, jobs and equity for children Why being “constructively dissatisfied” is essential for the field to keep advancing Professor Shonkoff emphasizes that while the early childhood field has already transformed millions of lives worldwide, the work is far from finished. Real impact will come from smarter strategies, stronger communities and a commitment to caring not only for our children but for all children.

Dr. Tony Ebel addresses a common parent concern: "Why would a PX Doc suggest four times a week for a 2-year-old? Is that too much?" In this comprehensive episode, Dr. Tony explains the science behind high-frequency chiropractic care for young children, breaking down the PX Care Plan Builder methodology that combines detailed case history analysis with advanced neurological scans. He introduces key concepts like "percentage of life subluxated" and explains why children's rapidly developing nervous systems require intensive care to repair damage while growth continues at breakneck speed. Dr. Tony also discusses why the toddler-to-preteen years can be the most challenging, requiring parents to understand that neurological healing must happen while the brain develops millions of new neurons and synapses daily.Key Topics & Timestamps[00:01:00] - The Two-Part Care Plan Formula: Introduction to the PX Care Plan methodology and why frequency depends on stress history and neurological scan results[00:05:00] - The Perfect Storm Reality: Why 20-30% of infants now need daily adjustments and how stress begins in utero during fetal development[00:08:00] - Percentage of Life Subluxated: Dr. Matt Hill's concept explained - how early and prolonged stress creates the need for intensive care protocols[00:10:00] - The 180 MPH Repair Job: Why treating developing children is like fixing an engine while driving - growth and development stress an already compromised system[00:14:00] - The Most Challenging Cases: Why toddlers through preteens are more challenging than infants or teenagers, and the bumpy road of pediatric neurological healing-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode, Faithful Politics sits down with Rev. Moya Harris, Director of Racial Justice at Sojourners and ordained AME minister, and Rev. Thomas Brackeen Jr., Minister to Youth and Families at Metropolitan AME Church, to discuss their latest report on strengthening early childhood development in Black and Latin faith communities. From access to healthcare to the impact of economic policies, they delve into the systems affecting the youngest and most vulnerable and how faith-based organizations can step up to advocate for justice.Metropolitan AME Church, founded in 1838, continues to stand against hate and fight for justice. In December 2020, the Proud Boys vandalized the church's property, tearing down and burning a Black Lives Matter banner. Metropolitan fought back, securing $2.8 million in damages and winning the exclusive rights to the Proud Boys' trademark — a historic legal victory for a Black institution. Today, the church continues its legacy of advocacy through initiatives such as the Community Justice Fund, food insecurity programs, and the Sankofa Project, which equips families with culturally responsive and biblically grounded resources.Guest Bios:Rev. Moya Harris is an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, serving at the historic Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, DC.

Play is more than just a way to pass the time- it's how kids learn, connect, and thrive. But for many parents, knowing how to “play right” with their kids can feel confusing, exhausting, or even a little overwhelming. In this episode, I sit down with Jill Lerman, a play and parenting coach, early childhood educator, and mom, to explore the true power of play and why it doesn't need to be Pinterest-perfect to be effective. We unpack the misconceptions around play, how to shift from being your child's entertainer to becoming their facilitator, and why independent play is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child (and yourself). Jill also shares how play builds emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills.
