Parenting Translator

A child psychologist translates parenting research into plain language

Substack Parenting Weekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Parenting Translator is run by a licensed child psychologist whose job, as the name suggests, is translation: she reads the actual peer-reviewed studies behind whatever parenting claim is circulating and explains what the data supports and where it gets oversold. It's a useful corrective in a space where "studies show" gets attached to almost anything.

Issues tend to be short and built around one claim or product at a time, breastfeeding duration and IQ, a new sleep gadget, screen time limits, with a clear summary of how strong the evidence actually is. It's aimed at parents who want to stop doomscrolling parenting content and start reading the source material instead.
