In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with Sam Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Happypillar, and Chloe Picot-Jacobs, Clinical Director of the app, to discuss an innovative approach to parenting that blends technology and evidence-based strategies. Happypillar is designed to help parents tackle common behavioral challenges in children aged 2 to 7, using techniques from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), enhanced by AI for accessibility and scalability.

Dr. Whitney and her guests dive into the journey of developing this app, which uses AI to give real-time feedback to parents during playtime sessions, helping them improve their interactions with their children. Sam shares her personal struggles as a parent, how PCIT transformed her relationship with her child, and why she was inspired to create Happypillar to help other parents going through similar challenges. Chloe, a licensed clinical social worker, explains the evidence behind PCIT, how the app works, and addresses concerns around privacy and data security.

But did you know that decluttering is WAY MORE than just getting rid of “stuff”.  Decluttering helps you take back the ownership of your life - in your time, your calendar, your self care … your everything. So let’s dive into all things decluttering with Allie! 

In this episode you will hear:

Dr. Amy Moore is a cognitive psychologist and child development specialist with over 25 years of experience in the field. She is also the Research Director for LearningRx and the host of the Brainy Moms podcast. Kim Hanson is the CEO of LearningRx, and her passion is to help professionals, educators, and parents learn more about cognitive skills and how they impact real-life performance.

Today we’re chatting about cognitive skill development, learning difficulties with kids, and how to optimize learning. I’m excited to share this episode because we focus so much on moms, but if a child is experiencing learning difficulties we all know how much that can affect a mom’s (and family’s) well-being.

Listen in as we talk about the factors that influence cognitive ability, including the factors that parents can influence such as diet, physical activity, and screen time. Amy and Kim also share how parents can determine the learning strengths and weaknesses that a child has, and how LearningRx is helping to optimize learning for children.
