Curious Neuron

Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.

How can parents feel confident with how they parent and also remember to nurture their own needs? How can we support our child's emotional development while also learn how to regulate our own emotions as parents (since our own parents never taught us)? What does behaviour psychology suggest? These are the topics and questions we explore every Monday with leading experts in health, behavioural psychology, leadership and social sciences like Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Marc Brackett, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Dr. Kristen Neff or authors like Justin Baldoni, Amy Morin and Stephanie Harrison. Parents say that "listening to Curious Neuron is like receiving a warm hug from Cindy every week" because her goal is to help parents feel seen, validated and less alone in their journey.
