How to Learn From Toddlers with Dr. Hasan Merali (EP122‪)‬ FitMama

    • Health & Fitness

Hey FitMama, I am excited this week to bring you my interview with Dr. Hasan Merali, pediatric emergency medicine doctor and father.
We covered lots of topics from his new book: Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas, which is all about secrets from the science of toddlers for a happier, more successful way of life. While this sounds funny and adorable (and it is, just read the book) it also really makes you understand how the ways of a toddler are to be emulated for a truly healthful life. The science and studies he shares in both the book and this interview back everything he claims and it all makes so much sense.
When we say our kids are our teachers, they really are! Let’s learn from them!
Hasan Merali, MD, MPH, is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics, McMaster University and a pediatric emergency medicine physician at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on child injury prevention in low- and middle-income countries. He has published more than twenty-five peer-reviewed journal articles, and his writing has been featured in Science, The Boston Globe, NBC, CBC, and Popular Science.
His first book, Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas: Secrets from the Science of Toddlers for a Happier, More Successful Way of Life, was recently published by Health Communications Inc. in March 2024.
Please go online and find Dr. Merali and all his wisdom. He is published in so many online and print publications and can be found at the following links:
