单集简介 ...

There's a lot of noise about what AI will do to jobs. What will it do to one of the most important jobs in the world: parenting?  Dr. Dana Suskind is a pediatric cochlear implant surgeon and neuroscientist who has spent her career on how young brains get built. In this conversation, she and Dr. Becky start with a piece of bait — can a parent be replaced by a machine? — and spend the next half hour on the science of why the answer is no. They get into attachment and why the messy, inconvenient, friction-filled version of connection is the version that actually wires a child's brain. Why a frictionless AI that always agrees with you might be the real risk. A rubric (DETECT) for judging any piece of kid-facing tech before it comes in the house. And the idea Dana calls the most freeing thing she learned writing her new book: good-enough parenting isn't a nice thing to say, it's a biological necessity.

  • There's a very specific kind of tired that comes with parenting.

  • It's not just late nights.

  • Oh no, it's the mental load, the early mornings, the constantly being needed or having someone sitting on your lap.

  • And I know for me, sometimes I'll catch myself looking at my reflection and just think, this is not great.

  • My eyes are telling the whole story of the last couple days.

  • It's why I use Ula Henriksen's Banana Bright Plus Eye Cream.

  • It's clinically crafted with gold complex vitamin

  • C that instantly brightens tired eyes while visibly reducing dark circles.

  • So you look more rested even when you're not.

  • And I really appreciate that it's that simple.

  • One small step in the morning

  • that helps you feel a little more put together before you start taking care of everyone else.

  • Because this isn't about perfection.

  • It's about feeling like yourself in a demanding season.

  • The other day, I had a really existential question that was just living in my head.

  • And I ended up bringing it to a couple friends who met me with some version of, wow,

  • kind of not the topic I thought you were going to talk about at lunch today.

  • And I said, what are humans for?

  • What are parents for?
