We are excited to have Dr. Mei Elansary join us for our 50th episode of Parenting Understood. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Elansary about her and colleagues’ work on parental mindset and how that impacts child development in the first year of life. Further, Dr. Elansary discusses how her and colleagues’ research indicates that the effects of parental mindset on infant brain activity varies as a function of maternal stress, and the implications of these findings. More specifically, we speak about how this research might inform interventions and parenting practices. Dr Elansary also talks about how her work has been informed by and informs her own parenting.
Dr Elansary is a pediatric specialist at Boston Medical Center. She received her medical degree from Yale University, her Masters in Philosophy from Oxford University and her undergraduate degree from The University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Elansary is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Boston University School of Medicine. She is a practicing pediatrician as well as researcher.
