Curious Neuron
Curious Neuron takes a balanced & mindful approach to parenting that is grounded in science. Parenting is much more than knowing how to handle our kids's behaviour. It requires us to know how to manage our own emotions and behaviours which takes lots of practice, learning and unlearning. We take a more holistic approach to parenting and not only help you understand your child's development but also support your parenting journey by helping you nurture your well-being and personal growth.
Every Monday we chat with an expert or summarize a research article in a relatable and applicable way. Our host, Cindy Hovington, mom of 3 and neuroscientist has chatted with leading experts in health, behavioural psychology, leadership and social sciences including Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Marc Brackett, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Dr. Kristen Neff or authors like Justin Baldoni, Amy Morin and Stephanie Harrison.
Parents say that "listening to Curious Neuron is like receiving a warm hug from Cindy every week" because parents feel seen, validated, more knowledgable and less alone in their journey. Listen now!

Wow Cindy! Thank you for following your passion and your gut! It’s truly amazing to hear your story and also layer parenting with passion on top of it! I was moved by your “yelling at your soup” story. I can’t quite imagine what it would be like to have a partner that created a safe space with their presence. My experience, and so many of the experiences around me, are that the partner cannot handle how hard parenting is and a moment like that would be worsened by their presence. In your story, I assume your partner picked up on what needed to happen parenting wise and continued on with the task. Relationship goals 🩷
