What if love—not flashcards—built the smartest brains?
Stanford’s Dr. Isabelle Howe is here with fresh insights on “relational intelligence,” why babies laugh eight times harder with a friend, and how junk tech is quietly choking your family dinners. We dig into France’s universal preschool, Head Start’s looming funding cliff, and the Sunday-night ritual that turns bedtime dread into disco therapy. Expect science, real-world inspiration, and hopeful ideas you’ll want to quote at your next parent-teacher night.

The Detour, Ep. 4: Talking about Belonging with Kids
For our final episode in collaboration with Oregon Humanities: The Detour's series on belonging, we talked with students at Fern Hill Elementary School in Forest Grove and Crestview Heights Elementary in Waldport about where they feel they belong and how to help others feel like they belong. You'll also hear from a few adults who work at these schools about how they create a welcoming community inside and outside of the classroom.
Thank you to everyone at Fern Hill Elementary School and Crestview Heights Elementary for welcoming us into their schools.
