How Do You Raise a Three-Year-Old? @ Providence Children's Museum

Many describe parenting as the hardest job on Earth, and every parent wonders if they are making the right choices for their kids. Is sleep training the way to go? Is it normal if my kid is still crawling at 18 months? In searching for answers, parents confront taboos, false narratives, and centuries-old myths.

It is time to ask: what do we actually know about parenting?Join The Policy Lab and award-winning economist Emily Oster for a lively discussion on what the data tell us – and don’t tell us – about raising kids. Emily will describe how evidence can empower parents to make better, less fraught decisions, and how we can all stay sane in the years before preschool.

Emily is the author of “Expecting Better” and recently published “Cribsheet: A Date-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool.” She is described by her students at Brown University as “a cross between a popular stand-up comedian and your all-time favorite teacher” and will bring a fresh, data-driven perspective to the trials of those early years.
