Dana Suskind - A Delightfully Brilliant Episode
Dana was an incredibly insightful and enthusiastic guest on Behavioral Grooves! She’s spot on in identifying, describing, and prescribing ways to improve the childhood development for our families, communities, and the nation. I immediately went out and got her book, Parent Nation, and am enjoying the expansion of her ideas and thinking.
Love this podcast
So insightful, with wonderfully intelligent guests and great rapport between all of them. (Admittedly, I have only listened to two episodes so far.. but had to give my input on them..)
