    Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS.: How Screen Time Affects a Child's Vision | Raising Parents #95

    In this episode of Raising Parents we dive into the topic of vision and how screen time, among other factors, can affect this. Guest Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. joins host Sarah Stancombe to explain the most common issues he sees in his clinic, and the changes he has observed over his career. Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. graduated from the University of Montreal School of Optometry in 1986, where he also obtained his Master’s Degree in physiological optics. He also graduated in public health from the National School of Public Administration in Montreal in 2006. He has been a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry since 1989, and Cornea and Contact Lens Diplomate since 1994. He is also Fellow of the scleral Contact Lens Organization since 2010 and Fellow of the British Contact Lens Association since 2013. Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. is also a professor and practices at the University of Montreal since 2001, as the chief of the contact lens department. He also treats anterior segment diseases, and for more than 10 years was a visiting professor at Paris-Sud University.  Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as professional reviews. He is an author of more than 35 chapters of books edited in France. He has been invited to speak in Europe, Asia, and the US, and is a regular speaker at American Academy of Optometry and European Academy of Optometry meetings. Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. is also the current president of the College of Optometrists of Quebec. In this episode, Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. explains how there are a multitude of factors affecting children’s eyesight today - not just using screens, but the distance at which they read and complete other activities, and the frequency at which they spend time outdoors. Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. recommends parents show children a good example, as they will watch and imitate behaviors.  Together, Sarah and Dr. Langis Michaud OD. MS. discuss the way vision affects so many other aspects of life, such as the other senses, interpreting the world around you, and behavior such as concentration. Around 25% of the brain is involved in visual processing, so there is no wonder it affects so many different areas of life.  University of Montreal profile: https://recherche.umontreal.ca/english/our-researchers/professors-directory/researcher/is/in14701/ Connect with Dr. Langis Michaud OD.

    Rachael Cody, Ph.D.: Why Self-Discovery is Vital for a Child's Independence | Raising Parents #93

    In this episode, host Sarah Stancombe talks with Educational Psychology expert Rachael Cody, Ph.D. about self-discovery, values, identity, and future planning—and why these concepts are essential for children and students. Rachael Cody, Ph.D., who holds a PhD from the University of Connecticut and is currently a postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State University, has researched giftedness, student resilience, study strategies, and how students make major life or academic decisions. She explains the importance of agency—a child’s ability to feel in control of their environment. Agenic opportunities help prepare children for adulthood and often show up as boundary-pushing or confidently making different choices from peers. Sarah and Rachael Cody, Ph.D. also explore the many factors that influence students to change majors or career paths, from professors to media to peer stories. They highlight how parents can support these moments with open, understanding conversations. Finally, Rachael Cody, Ph.D. shares ways parents can nurture their child’s values—by recognizing strengths, celebrating learning through mistakes, and noticing acts of empathy.

    Every smile, giggle, and tear tells a story about your baby’s emotional world. So, this week on Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella interviews psychology professor Vanessa LoBue, Ph.D., who specializes in infant and child development, on the fascinating journey of emotional development in infants. A professor and chair of psychology at Rutgers University in Newark, Vanessa LoBue, Ph.D. has conducted research focusing on human behavioral responses to emotionally valanced stimuli. More specifically, Vanessa LoBue, Ph.D.’s research examines how early perceptual biases for threat contribute to maladaptive avoidance behaviors, such as those associated with the development of fear and anxiety, and how cognition contributes to children’s learning of adaptive avoidance responses, such as avoidance of contagious people or contaminated objects. In this episode, Vanessa LoBue, Ph.D. sheds light on the role of an infant’s temperament and environment in their emotional development journey, revealing the pertinence of a primary caregiver’s emotional expression on their development. Additionally, Vanessa LoBue, Ph.D. shares more about the very first emotional responses to expect from infants, and when to expect them. Together, Marie and Vanessa LoBue, Ph.D. answer the internet’s biggest questions about emotional development in infants — from realistic developmental milestones, to whether infants understand emotions concretely or reflectively. So, whether you’re a new parent or simply fascinated by early childhood development, tune in to this episode for science-backed insights and real-world advice to help you support your baby’s emotional growth — one loving interaction at a time!
