About this episode

Sponsored episode in partnership with Barbie. Commissioned by Barbie and led by Cardiff University, ‘Exploring the Benefits of Doll Play through Neuroscience’ is the first scientific study using neuroscience to explore the positive impact doll play has on children. Through Neuroscience, research found that doll play activates brain regions that allow children to develop empathy and social information processing skills, even when playing by themselves. In the episode, I speak with Dr. Michele Borba, who is a world-renowned parenting expert and author of 22 books. Dr. Michele is known as ‘America’s most trusted parenting expert’, and her most recent book, UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed In Our All-About-Me World, helps parents to develop empathy in their children. We have a fantastic conversation all about empathy, and why exactly it is a super power. I hope you enjoy the episode and for the full show notes, please head over to www.motherkind.co.
