It's one thing to get advice on how to parent, it's another to have independent studies that give real evidence on how well one approach works rather than another.
So when Matilda Gosling who’s a social scientist specialising in social psychology and issues affecting children and young people told me that taking time out to do what you enjoy and feel rested is actually an act of selflessnes, I couldn't have been happier!
Matilda has degrees from the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics. She’s also a mum to two teenagers, so – like me – she has a vested interest in finding data-based answers to our questions.
