Emily Oster is the economist who changed how millions of parents make decisions. In this favorite conversation from the archives, the Brown University professor, founder of ParentData and bestselling author of Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm shows you how to use data, not guilt, to figure out how much to work, how to split the load at home, and when to stop worrying. Plus she answers rapid-fire questions on sleep training, screen time and more. (Spoiler: the answer to most parenting worries is “it doesn’t matter as much as you think.”)
You’ll learn:
Why work and kids both make you happy, but don’t add up to double the happiness
How to design your ideal “Tuesday” to figure out what you really want
The “one extra hour” test for knowing where your time should go
Why you should decide who stays home with a sick kid before it happens
Why balance happens over a month, not every day, and her secret to saying no
Her data-backed rapid-fire answers on sleep training, screen time and kids’ phones
