After earning her B.A. in Psychology from McGill University and completing her Masters and Ph.D. at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Dr. Lakdawalla gained extensive experience across community mental health centres, private practice, hospitals, and day treatment programs. She is passionate about equipping families with the tools they need to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and foster lasting emotional health.In today's episode, Lara and Dr. Lakdawalla dive into the essential—but often tricky—topic of boundaries and emotional regulation in children. Dr. Lakdawalla explains why clear, loving boundaries are not just helpful but critical for a child's emotional security and development. Together, they explore the impacts of shifting parenting styles, why kids actually crave structure (even if they resist it at times!), and how setting limits can be one of the most compassionate things a parent can do.Dr. Lakdawalla also shares practical, research-backed strategies for setting healthy expectations without damaging the parent-child bond—and how doing so lays the foundation for greater self-esteem, confidence, and emotional resilience in kids.If you've ever second-guessed your approach to discipline or struggled to find that perfect balance between kindness and firmness, this episode is for you. You'll walk away with actionable tools and a renewed sense of confidence in your parenting journey.Because when children feel both loved and securely guided, they are free to grow into their best selves.-----Find more of Dr. Lakdawalla work:Foundations for Emotional Wellness-----Follow on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠@ffew_mental_health-----Follow on LinkedIn:LinkedIn-----Follow Parenting Ed-Ventures on Instagram:@ParentingedventurespodLearn more about Tutor Teach ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tutorteach.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----Intro Music: Good Times by Patrick PatrikiosSting Music: Purple Planet Music - Timelapse

Emily Lakdawalla talks about the design and construction of Curiosity, formally known as the Mars Science Laboratory, one of the most sophisticated machines ever built. Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012 where it has been conducting research within the ancient Gale Crater. This book describes the most complex machine ever sent to another planet: Curiosity. It is a one-ton robot with two brains, seventeen cameras, six wheels, nuclear power, and a laser beam on its head. No one human understands how all of its systems and instruments work. This essential reference to the Curiosity mission explains the engineering behind every system on the rover, from its rocket-powered jetpack to its radioisotope thermoelectric generator to its fiendishly complex sample handling system. Its lavishly illustrated text explains how all the instruments work -- its cameras, spectrometers, sample-cooking oven, and weather station -- and describes the instruments' abilities and limitations. It tells you how the systems have functioned on Mars, and how scientists and engineers have worked around problems developed on a faraway planet: holey wheels and broken focus lasers. And it explains the grueling mission operations schedule that keeps the rover working day in and day out. Lakdawalla is a senior editor at the Planetary Society where she writes and blogs about planetary exploration. She is a frequent guest on Planetary Radio. She is also the author of The Design and Engineering of Curiosity: How the Mars Rover Performs Its Job (Springer, 2018). Michael F. Robinson is professor of history at Hillyer College, University of Hartford. He's the author of The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2006) and The Lost White Tribe: Scientists, Explorers, and the Theory that Changed a Continent (Oxford University Press, 2016). He's also the host of the podcast Time to Eat the Dogs, a weekly podcast about science, history, and exploration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
