Does Cry It Out Damage A Child's Brain? | Dr. Daniel G. Amen, MD

Is letting your baby cry it out quietly shaping their brain — for better or worse? 😳🧠 What if the way we’ve been taught to parent is actually causing unseen damage?

Today I’m joined by the legendary Dr. Daniel Amen — psychiatrist, brain scan pioneer, and founder of the Amen Clinics. We’re talking parenting, trauma, relationships, memory, anxiety, and how your diet could be wrecking your mood. Over 225,000 brain scans. Decades of research. And major truth bombs.

This one’s gonna stick with you — your brain (and your baby) will thank you 💗
