1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast. It's the podcast for the

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: time poor parent who just wants answers.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: Now, whether you share the bed with the kids or

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: not during those first six months, it doesn't have any

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: association or correlation with either positive or negative outcomes.

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: And now here's the stars of our show, My mum

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: and dad.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: Hello. This is doctor Justin Coulson, the author of six

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: books about raising happy families and the founder of happy

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: families dot com DOTU. Kylie is my wife and mum

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: to our six daughters. And Kylie, are you going to

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: be okay for today's podcast?

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: Look, I'm sounding a bit naisaly, but we're going to

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: get through it.

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: It's a cold, everyone, It's just a cold. We don't

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: have any worries. And we know that it's a cold

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: because when you've got COVID, apparently there's not a whole

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: lot of what's the word congestion, I think would be.

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: The polite word for it, congested.

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: And you can still taste food, yes, and apparently when

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: you've got COVID you can't taste it.

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: So well, lucky, we're confined to our little office space.

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: We're not sharing it with anyone.

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: Goalie and just what a quick shout out to anyone

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: who's lockdown, like half of Australia right now, we are

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: with you in spirit because it's just so tough. I

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: was talking to somebody just a little bit earlier this

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: week who said she was in Melbourne by the way,

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: and she said, I said, so has Lockdown five going?

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: She said, lockdown five million, two hundred and seventy eight thousand,

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: like just over it.

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: I did see a meme the other day that said

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: three more lockdowns before Christmas is here. That is not funny,

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: but the countdown has beengun for Christmas.

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Please know. Yeah, hey, we've We've got a really exciting

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: episode for our podcast today and a lot to get through.

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: This is a Doctor's Desk episode for those of you

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: who arek new to the podcast. Once every month, once

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: every fortnight, I collect a bunch of new studies that

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: have come through and talk about what science is telling

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: us about parenting. And today four in a developmental progression,

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: and I think all four of them are going to

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: be interesting to you. The first one what COVID has

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: done to rates of post natal depression, How COVID is

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: affecting post natal depression around the world. Second one, the

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: idea about co sleeping. Is it good or bad for

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: attachment to pull the kids into bed with you and

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: co sleep. It's a controversial topic, and some new research

49
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: sheds light on whether it's good, bad, or are otherwise.

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: Then we're going to talk about vaccinations and how to

51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: help kids to manage vaccinations better without the distress and

52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: the drama that so often accompanies those needles. And that's

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: kind of timely, right because even as adults, we're going

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: and getting vaccinations everywhere. I've had both of mine. I'm

55
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: all vaccinated. We just need you to get better so

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: that we can send you off to get yours. And

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: then the fourth thing that we're going to talk about

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: is how to get teenagers to actually listen to us.

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Some new research on that, So Kylie, let's talk first

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: of all about rates of post natal depression among new

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: mums during lockdown. And this matters because a lot of

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: our audience either having kids or have got friends who

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: are having kids, and we need to be across this.

64
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: So what did the research basically show From what you've

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: read in the paper that I sent you.

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: Well, it's suggesting that postnatal depression rose sharply during COVID lockdowns. Yeah,

67
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: and you'd expect that considering the challenges that mums have

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: just in normal day to day life. Now we've got

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 3: the added stress of everybody on top of each other.

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: There is no downtime for these mums, and they're also

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: having to juggle schooling with older kids and husbands working

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: from home, worried about whether or not they can make

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: ends meet. Like, there's so many challenges, and then on

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: top of all of that, they don't even get to

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: see the people that they love outside of their own

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: little family unit.

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: The women first filled in a survey which measured symptoms

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: of postnatal depression. Then they share them their own personal

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: social networks and listed up to twenty five people and

80
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: explained who they were and what the relationship was. And

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: once they shared all that information with the researchers, they

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: reported on who in that network they'd seen in person

83
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: or who they chatted with on the phone or via

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: a video call or via text or WhatsApp just in

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. And what the research showed

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: was really high levels of depressive symptoms among the new mothers,

87
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: with forty seven point five percent reporting symptoms that met

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: the threshold of diagnosis of postnatal depression. Thirty four point

89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: six percent of the group reported particularly high levels.

90
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: That's more than a third of an increase in such

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 3: a short period of time.

92
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, really really significant, and what the researchers have essentially

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: said is takes a village to roise child. Social networks

94
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: are crucial if we're going to support parents and babies,

95
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: especially in that time after birth, and the impact of

96
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: COVID nineteen on your parents is really really significant. Take

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: home message I reckon out of this very important study.

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: It's only a small study because it's hard to get

99
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: this data during COVID. Take home messages. If you know

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: somebody having a baby, do everything you can to be

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: in their lives as so long as it's not overly intrusive,

102
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: as long as they want you there be in their lives.

103
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: Because we know with that question that the quality of

104
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: connections that people experience, especially as a new mum. One

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: mum said, and I quote, you're only a first time

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: mum once and I was really looking forward to this

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: time and making new mum friends. I think I'm most

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: sad about missing out on that. So not only does

109
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: Grandma not get to spend time or Grandpa get to

110
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: spend time with the kids. But you can't kind of

111
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: go and do all the stuff that you might typically

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: have done the same way that we've always done it.

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: And that has a really significant impact.

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: I think back to the times that we've welcomed babies

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: into our lives and there's so much excitement about introducing

116
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 3: your little one to all of the important people in

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 3: your world, and for so many families, they're not having

118
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: those opportunities.

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they shout out to everyone who's overseas and

120
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: can't even get back into Australia so that they can

121
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: see their grand kids for the first time that have

122
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: been born in COVID because thirty five thousand Australians still

123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: can't get in because there's not enough space in Australian

124
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: quarantine hotels right now. It's just it's really tough. And

125
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: this is the sort of stuff that literally literally creates

126
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: things like postnatal depression. COVID is rough. Okay, let's move

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: the conversation along to our second study. This was published

128
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and it's

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: about bed sharing in the first six months of life.

130
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 3: I find this really interesting because so often when we

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: talk to parents, one of the things that they really

132
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: really struggle with in their own relationships is the fact

133
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: that they have children in their beds, and it has

134
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: such a huge impact on your capacity to connect as

135
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: husband and wife and get sleep.

136
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: I thought you're going to say, get something else. Then

137
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: I thought you're going to say get some. Get it's some.

138
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: It's so significant, and yet there is so much I'm

139
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: going to say guilt around whether or not we're doing

140
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: the right thing by shoving our children off into their

141
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: own beds and pushing them away.

142
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, and co sleeping. The attachment parenting style has

143
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: really promoted co sleeping as it's really important for infant

144
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: mother attachment. It's really important for infant behavioral outcomes, it's

145
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: really important for bonding and sensitivity. And this study looked

146
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: directly at all of those things. What they basically found

147
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: was that bed sharing was common at full term. In

148
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: other words, the baby's born and parents are bringing their

149
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: kids into the bed once they're born at a rate

150
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: of about forty forty one point two percent in this

151
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: particular study. I was surprised that it was that high.

152
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: We've never actually done a co sleeping thing. We've brought

153
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: the kids into our bedroom and had their cot or

154
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: their basonetes set up in the bedrooms that they're close

155
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: to us, but we've never actually slept with them in

156
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: our bed, and I've sometimes wondered, oh, did we do

157
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: the wrong thing? Like I've had a little bit of

158
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: dad guilt around that we are parenting expert guilt. I

159
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: wish we'd had the kids in the bed with us.

160
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: Forty one point two percent of people said Yep, we're

161
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: doing it. That had dropped down by three months to

162
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: twenty two percent of people who were doing it, and

163
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: then it bumped up again at six months to twenty

164
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: seven point five percent, and at eighteen months it was

165
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: back up to thirty one point three percent. So I

166
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: just thought that was an interesting trajectory to follow. But

167
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: here's what the results show. There were no associations between

168
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: bed sharing during the first six months of that child's

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: life and infant mother attachment infant behavioral outcomes at eighteen months.

170
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: Also no associations between bed sharing during those first six

171
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: months and maternal bonding or sensitivity at any consequent assessment points,

172
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: specifically at eighteen months. In other words, whether you share

173
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: the bed with the kids or not during those first

174
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: six months, it doesn't have any association or correlation with

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: either positive or negative outcomes about attachment, about behavior, about bonding,

176
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: or about how sensitive you are as a parent.

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: I would think that it would be much more important

178
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: for us as parents to be responsive to our children

179
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: as opposed to losing sleep by sharing a bed with

180
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: our children.

181
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: And I just feel so much pressure relieved when I

182
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: read that study. Yeah, and I love what you've just said.

183
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: We didn't plan that, but it's beautiful because you can

184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: be so much more responsive when they're awake if you've

185
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: had a good night's sleep, and you're probably going to

186
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: have a bed night sleep if they're not in the

187
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: bed kicking you out and tossing and turning and leaving

188
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: you sleeping, wondering if you're accidentally going to roll onto

189
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: them or anything like that. So I think that it's

190
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: a really important and interesting study. We're not discouraging it.

191
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: By the way. It says that there are no neither

192
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 2: positive nor negative outcomes from sleeping in the bed, So

193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: if you really want to go for your life, but

194
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: if you're feeling guilty about it, but you're doing it

195
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: because you feel like you have to. Don't because the

196
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: research now is saying this is something that the bloggers,

197
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 2: the well being bloggers that are out there, it might

198
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: be promoting, but we don't have scientific evidence to support it.

199
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: And I kind of like that, all right, So let's

200
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: take a quick break, and right after the break, we're

201
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: going to talk about vaccinations and talking to teenagers who

202
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: are in trouble.

203
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: It's their Happy Family's podcast.

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: For a happier family, try a Happy Families membership, because

205
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: a happy family doesn't just happen. Details at happy families

207
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: It's the Happy Family's Podcast, the podcast for the time

208
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: poor parent who just wants answers now and today is

209
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: Justin's doctor's desk geek out moment. He loves the research

210
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: and he loves to pull it to pieces so that

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: he can help each of us understand how we might

212
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: be better parents as a result.

213
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm really enjoying it. I'm so glad that you've sent

214
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: my delight.

215
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm actually a little bit excited about

216
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: this one because vaccinations is.

217
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's on everyone's mind right now. It is on.

218
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 3: Everyone's mind right now. But as a parent, I remember

219
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: that moment when I had to have our first child,

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: Chanelle was getting vaccinated, and oh my goodness, my heart

221
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: strings were being torn apart.

222
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: Here you are, sweetheart. I'm taking you into the doctor's

223
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: office so that they can stick something in you, and

224
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: it's gonna hurt, probably for a couple of days, like

225
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna ever saw Armen.

226
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: I was a mess. You actually had to come with me.

227
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: I was absolutely like I was a mess. My doctor

228
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: actually suggested that I might need to leave here in

229
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: the room because I was so distressed. I walked out

230
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: of the room and then realized what.

231
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Am I doing.

232
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: I'm leaving her all by herself so she can be jabbed.

233
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: So I walked back in. I was there, You were there,

234
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: but I couldn't. I just I couldn't leave her. But

235
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: as a result, she was distressed, yes, for ages. Afterwards,

236
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: we walked out and she screamed and screamed and screamed,

237
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: and I felt so bad.

238
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: Now, just before we go on, I want to be

239
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: absolutely explicit in what I'm about to say. Vaccines are

240
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: nothing short of a miracle. Vaccines have said so many

241
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: millions if not billions of lives around this planet, and

242
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: we want to share this science with you because while

243
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: we don't have a COVID vaccine for kids yet or

244
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: none that's been approved as safe for kids at this point,

245
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: we know that kids are getting vaccinated for all sorts

246
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: of stuff all the time anyway, and eventually a COVID

247
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: vaccine is going to pretty much be compulsory for everyone

248
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: based on the way things are going. And we are

249
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: supportive of vaccines. But if the kids have to get

250
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: a vaccination, whether it's for measles, mumps, and rubella, or

251
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: whether it's for who knows, there are so many different

252
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 2: vaccines that are out there now, or whether it's us

253
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 2: going and getting one, it's worth knowing what brand new

254
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: science tells us about how we can help our children

255
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: to deal with the distress associated with getting a needle.

256
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: Did it say anything about how you can how the

257
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: parents deal with it?

258
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no it didn't, But we've got we're

259
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: glad to say that I actually did work it out

260
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: over time. Well, I was going to say, I feel

261
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: like we've kind of got this right, because other than

262
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: that experience our kids, I mean, nobody looks forward to

263
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: a needle. Nobody's begging for a vaccination and saying, oh,

264
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: give it to me. I love this, But our kids

265
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: respond really well. Now and tell me what you've tell

266
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: me what we've done, and then I'll tell you if

267
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: that's consistent with what the research shows.

268
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: The first time children are really aware of it is

269
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: about that four year old when they have whatever vaccinations

270
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: they have before, the one.

271
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: That we've got. The boxes stick for all of our kids.

272
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: I can't remember what it.

273
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: Is either, but by four or four years of age,

274
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: you can have a really intelligent conversation with your child.

275
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: And so as vaccinations would come up, I would actually

276
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: sit down with each of the kids and I would

277
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: tell them that we were going to the doctors and

278
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: that they would have a needle. And inevitably they all

279
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: looked at me like.

280
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: I know what a needle In their eyes, yes, totally.

281
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: And so we talked about that and I said, nobody

282
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: likes getting needles. I don't know anybody who likes getting

283
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: a needle. But the one great thing about a needle

284
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: is it's just like a beasting. It lasts for a

285
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: few seconds and then it's gone, and the sting will

286
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: last there for a little bit, but it'll disappear over

287
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: a very short period of time. So we just have

288
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: to be brave for about one second, two seconds, three

289
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: seconds and it's done. Yeah, And they responded so well

290
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 3: to that. I was blown away. A few times we

291
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: might have said.

292
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: You can have a lollipop at the other end, were

293
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: usually given a little bit of bribery as well, but

294
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: they responded really well. Even I mean our seven year

295
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: old last time she had a needle a short while ago.

296
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: She was brilliant because we prepped her and we promised

297
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: her a lollipop and done.

298
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: What blew me away about that experience was she literally

299
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: kind of looked at me after it was done, and

300
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: she said, is that it?

301
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: Yes, we need to get onto the science, but I've

302
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: got to share this story. I still remember I reckon.

303
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: I was probably about eight years old, nine years old.

304
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what needle it was back in the

305
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: early nineteen eighties, but my mum got me in the car.

306
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: We were going into town to do something. She stopped

307
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: outside this place in the center of Gosford that I

308
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: still remember. I had had a needle there once before,

309
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: and we stopped there and I looked at mom, and

310
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: I said, what are we doing here? And she looked

311
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: at me and said, I lied to you before we're

312
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: actually here so that you can get your needle. Mum

313
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: and an employee from inside the literally were dragging it out.

314
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: That there was about thirty stairs. They are about ten

315
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: meters wide. There were really big wide stairs going up

316
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: to this old building, and they were one on each arm,

317
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: literally dragging me up the stairs.

318
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: That's awful.

319
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: I was terrified. Another time I hid under the doctor's

320
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: desk in the surgery and I wouldn't come out like

321
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: I had this incredible fear of needles, and a mum

322
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: used to always try to trick me, and it's not

323
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: the way to do it the way, you know.

324
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: And I think that that's what I loved about the conversations.

325
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: I was able to have it with the kids. At

326
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: no point did I lie to them because I knew

327
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: what was going to happen when we got in there

328
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: if they weren't fully prepared, and each of them, I

329
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: didn't book it until they said okay, I'm ready yep.

330
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: So I was just not every child's going to be

331
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: that compliant. But we've done it now with five of

332
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: them in a row and they've all just kind of

333
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: been lugging it. We don't like it, but we understand

334
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: what's happening, and we know I'm going to get a

335
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: treat at the end of it and it'll be okay.

336
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: It did backfire a little bit last year, I don't

337
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: remember well, our daughter in grade ten had to have.

338
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: Oh her needle, Yeah, okay, she's worse than me, and

339
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: the school actually had to ring me because they couldn't

340
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: get her into the room.

341
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: And at some point I believe.

342
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: That I literally physically falter through and then had to

343
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: hold her like you would toddler with my palm over

344
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: her forehead and you sat on her or something didn't

345
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: It was very hard.

346
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's go to the research really quickly. So basically,

347
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: this is some research that came out of York University

348
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: in the UK. So this research of the looks at

349
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,479
Speaker 2: what you say in the first minute after a vaccination

350
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: and how key that is in reducing a child's address.

351
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: You can literally in the first minute change the trajector

352
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: change change the trajectory. You can change the trajectory within

353
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: the first minute if you get your wording right now.

354
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: This is important because seventy five percent of children will downregulate.

355
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: That is, they will be a little bit distressed, but

356
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: they'll bring that down. Seventy five percent of them will.

357
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: But twenty five percent don't. They stay distressed, they get

358
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: really hyped up. They actually end up worse, not better

359
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: after one to two minutes. So these researchers looked at

360
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: what parents were doing and saying in the first minute

361
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: and then in the second minute, and how that affected

362
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: the outcomes.

363
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think the most important thing we need to

364
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: remember is that heightened emotion before had an impact, Yes,

365
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: before we even got to this. So having those conversations

366
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: with our children and empowering them before we walk in

367
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 3: the door, not lying to them, not surprising them, yeah,

368
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 3: or tricking them to think that they're going to get

369
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: a nice cream, thanks mum, and then showing up at

370
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: the doctors like your mum did. Yeah. But the most

371
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: important thing we can do in that first minute is

372
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 3: to offer encouragement. They're so brave to be able to

373
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: sit there and literally watch somebody jab them with a needle.

374
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: Okay, let me read this to you. Results indicated that

375
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: higher child baseline distress was predictive of whether the kids

376
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: would downregulate or stay distressed. So we want them to

377
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: be calm going in there, or at least not to

378
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: be too heightened, because of course they're going to be

379
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: a little bit anxious. But here's what else led to

380
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: negative outcome in that first minute following the needle more

381
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: parent what they call coping promoting verbalizations. So a coping

382
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: promoting verbalization is something like it'll be all right, it'll

383
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: be over soon. In other words, in the first minute

384
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: right after that sting, hearing that does not make you

385
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: feel better. It makes you feel worse because it's not

386
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: feeling like it's going to be all right. It's really

387
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: stinging right now. And of course, as you highlighted it,

388
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: within a few seconds it actually goes away. But that

389
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: first minute seems to be really crucial. So what we

390
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: don't want to say is you'll be right, You'll be fine.

391
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: See that didn't hurt that much, because that's not consistent

392
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: with their truth.

393
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: In that Lina hurt, it really hurt, And.

394
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: You might say that really hurt, didn't that needles can

395
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: be painful, but I'm here for you. That's what they

396
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: need to hear. They need to hear that that gentle

397
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: coaching through it. Not a promise that you'll be right

398
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: or here comes the lollipop, but rather they do sting

399
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: a bit, don't they. You just lean into me and

400
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: me a big cuddle. What they also found though, is

401
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: that once you get to the second minute, you can

402
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: kind of relax a little bit and say, oh, it's

403
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: not hurting so much now, is it. You're feeling better now.

404
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: And so I know it's a little bit complicated, a

405
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: little bit complex, but we really want to minimize try

406
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: to help them to cope and just let them know

407
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: that we're there. I think that's really the take home message.

408
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: When you got those little kids, Usually the doctors are

409
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: going to ask you to actually, you know, have them

410
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: sit on your knees so that you can hold them

411
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: and keep them still. And I'm guessing that most doctor

412
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: surgeries are on board with this now, and when there's

413
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: two needles involved, they actually have two people do it

414
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: so that the needles happen at the same time.

415
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: I hate that one.

416
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's bad, and it's not so bad because knowing

417
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: what it feels like the first time and then having

418
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: to anticipate having it happen the second time is so

419
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: much more traumatizing than just having it all happen at once.

420
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: But I think you know, that closeness, having cuddle time

421
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 3: and just appreciating that they're hurting right now and that's okay,

422
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: is so important.

423
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. It really, we're just about out of time. We've

424
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: got to talk about this last In fact, we're over time.

425
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: But let's just talk about this last study really quickly.

426
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: This comes from the University of Reading. It's about teenagers

427
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: who how to get them to open up to us basically,

428
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: And this is by a researcher that I've followed for

429
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: the last twenty years or so. I think she's brilliant.

430
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: Her name is Nedda Weinstein or nedder Weinstein, I don't know.

431
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Weinstein or Winstein. I don't know. Neda Winstein

432
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: is what I'm going to say. And she got one

433
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: thousand and one thirteen to sixteen year olds together.

434
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 3: That's a hefty number.

435
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: That's a good number. Got them to watch this staged

436
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: conversation between parent and teenager about something difficult going on

437
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: in that teenager's life, and the parents in these stage

438
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: situations basically took different postures, different body language, different listening behavior.

439
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: It will come as no surprise that when parents are

440
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: more attentive to their teenagers, the teenagers feel like they've

441
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: been heard. I know it's kind of like from the

442
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: University of DU, but here's the context. Basically, the first

443
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: video conversation scenario portrays a teenage boy admitting to mum

444
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: that he'd tried vaping and that he felt ashamed. In

445
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 2: the second video, he tells mum that he was rejected

446
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: by his peers because he refused to vape, and then

447
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: he felt hurt. So there's these two scenarios, and basically

448
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 2: the parent either listens attentively or they're distracted, or they

449
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: use more eye contact or they use less eye contact.

450
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: And essentially, when you listen attentively and you look at

451
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: your kids when they're talking to you, it leads to

452
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: better well being and more disclosure. It's good for the relationship.

453
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: It really does interest me that we need data on this.

454
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: I get that, and yet it's so really a nice

455
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: little reminder that sometimes our kids just need us to

456
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: be present, pay attention and really listen.

457
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: It really surprises me that they have to do research

458
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: on this. I know you've said it's from the University

459
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: of dere a little bit, and that's how I feel

460
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: like a lot of the research is because it's just

461
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 3: it's such common sense.

462
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: What's interesting, though, is a lot of common sense gets

463
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: disproven by research. Sometimes we think stuff's common sense and

464
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't work as well. So it's nice to get

465
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: some confirmatory research on something that we kind of already believed.

466
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: We really hope that you've enjoyed this podcast episode. It's

467
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,399
