    Gentle parenting is rough for moms and dads

    Gentle parenting indulges a child’s biggest emotions – and it’s wearing parents out. Monica Corcoran Harel is a journalist and screenwriter who covers culture and relationships. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her own path of gentle parenting — what she got right and what she says she realizes she did wrong — and why she feels it’s difficult to set boundaries for this method of parenting, which discourages old-fashioned authoritarian rule. Her article in The Cut is “‘Because I Said So … Please?’ My greatest fear is pushing my daughter away. Maybe I went too far to keep her close.”  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

    What Trump wants with Iran

    Nuclear negotiations with Iran seemed to be heading in the right direction – and then the U.S. and Israel decided it was time to strike. David Frum, staff writer for The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss President Trump’s approach to dealmaking and how that influenced his decision to use military force. Plus, we’ll discuss what the end goal might be, what happens if the administration doesn’t achieve that on its timeline and what the president’s tolerance for risk might mean for the future of this conflict.

    Are we breaking up with booze?

    Michael Pollan: Your guide to consciousness

    We often say that something has “a mind of its own,” but exactly is the consciousness we’re referring to? Michael Pollan, author and both a Guggenheim and Radcliffe Fellow, joins host Krys Boyd to explore what we know about the mysteries of the conscious mind, the evolution of awareness, and ponder if A.I. could ever really know its deepest self. His book is “A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness.”   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

    Is the world setting you up for failure?

    We recycle and exercise and generally try to do the right thing — but what if it’s not our failings that hold us back, but systems? Nick Chater, professor of behavioral science at the Warwick Business School, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the limits of what any individual can do when it comes to, say, their health or climate change and to explain why attacking systematic failures is the only way to really achieve large-scale results. His book, written with George Loewenstein, is “It’s on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We’re to Blame for Society’s Deepest Problems.”   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
