Someone just sent this to me because this is exactly what peasandapod.com does!
There’s so much (noise) available for children, but not enough to help parents navigate through it.
I’m drawing on my PhD, personal, and professional experience to👇🏼

Met a 65yo aspiring entrepreneur this week. A grandmom to four kids who wants to solve a problem most in this current generation maybe facing. This is the first message she sent. And then I met her.
Her problem statement: In India every minute 51 babies are born. That means 26,805,600 couples become parent every year. That's 26.8 million couples. Parenting is not a skill that is taught and is a stressful journey for the first 5 years. Especially for working couples with no support.
Solution: A therapy/counselling service just focused on new parents. They are stressed and confused most of the time. They need someone to guide them and tell what not to do than what to do.
Her competitive edge : Mother to three and grandmom to four kids. I can’t create an app but can attempt to create mindful parents. This is what she said :)
Being an entrepreneur late in life can be a superpower. Because you've outlived the fads and fanciness. Now, it's all about substance and genuine awareness. Experience and wisdom are the dividends of a well-lived life.

Miss the warmth and brilliance of @PEDALCam and @paulramchandani. Take a look at this @tes interview where Paul talks about the importance of play, esp in the covid-recovery process, and gives us a look into some of the vital research being done around play.
"Learning is really important, but if we’re not paying attention to children’s enjoyment of learning, we’re doing them a disservice." @paulramchandani (@PEDALCam, @Cambridge_Uni) discusses play, education & supporting children in the here and now. @tes

It’s me, hi! 🙋🏻♀️
I had a wonderful weekend celebrating my graduation from @Cambridge_Uni, and my forever home @HomertonCollege had a little chat with me about my time there.
Have a read!

Grateful to have had the chance to attend @IPAGlasgow2023 and present my @PEDALCam PhD. It's been so amazing to be around play champions with a wealth of experience from all over the world (and closer home), reigniting old relationships & forging new ones @ipascotland #conference

My first presentation was on my UK study. Although the study explores multiple aspects of parent playfulness, through my @IPAGlasgow2023 presentation, I decided to awaken the beast that is measurement and discuss two different measures of parental playfulness through video data.

The second presentation was closer to home, focusing on developing an understanding of parent playfulness in India while highlighting the role of culture on play and children’s development. It also explored families’ experience of COVID-19 lockdowns. @ipascotland @IPAGlasgow2023

After an incredibly warm welcome by @ipascotland and @IPA_World, we’re kicking off @IPAGlasgow2023 with a panel of children asking @lexpsy of @UNChildRights1 all the important questions! Really setting the tone for the conference by keeping children at the heart of all we do!

Loving the cultural variability in presentations that really captures the universality of play. Currently learning from Bernadette’s work on culture caregiver beliefs on children’s free play. So closely aligned to what I’ll be presenting on Thursday @IPAGlasgow2023. @ipascotland

Now learning about @TCMUpstate: what a fantastic place - for children and adults! They play an incredible role not just as advocates for play but also as education incubators. Most recently, they've done super cool work on supporting kindergarten readiness in the local community!
