Joseph Chilton Pearce pioneers the first of the TMI Wisdom Series. Joe is an author of a number of books on child development. Here he presents the idea of the heart or compassionate mind as another categorization of brain function with equal stature as the thalamus, prefrontal cortex, and lower brain. He believes that active, imaginative play is the most important of all childhood activities because that cultivates a mastery of ones environment. He coins the term “creative competence” to discuss that mastery. Further, children without that form of play develop feeling of isolation and anxiety. He also believes that child parent bonding is important, and blames a lack of breast feeding and modern childbirth as both obstructive to that bonding.

Tantrums, meltdowns, and hissy fits can be a nightmare for parents. In this episode of The Lab, Daddy Clay and Daddy Brad tackle this important child behavior topic. Since we’re all about fairness here at DadLabs, we’ll first show kids some techniques for throwing a temper tantrum and getting the most of their meltdown, including the best locations for their hissy fit. We also speak with early parenting coach, Carrie Contey, PhD. to learn why temper tantrums happen, how child development factors into it, and what mom and dad can do to deal with them. The dads also weigh in with their thoughts and reveal what exactly they’re thinking when they see other parent’s children throwing a tantrum. DadLabs Ep. 563 is brought to you by BabyBjorn.

One of the major steps in preparing for fatherhood is selecting a car seat for your baby. With so many to choose from, how do you know which carseat is appropriate? In this episode of The Lab, Daddy Clay and Daddy Brad clear up any confusion you may have and educate you on which infant car seat you need during the various stages of child development. Using baby seats from Chicco, Britax, and Graco, they demonstrate when your child will transition from rear-facing or convertible car seats to forward facing carseats and eventually booster seats.
