Common Sense Parenting You Must Hear, with Beverly Hills Pediatrician, Dr Scott Cohen

In this episode, Caroline hosts one of her best friends Dr. Scott Cohen, a Beverly Hills pediatrician and author of “Eat, Sleep, Poop,” to answer parent questions about keeping kids healthy and calm. Scott shares why he chose pediatrics, how scary parenting feels even for doctors, and funny stories about their families. They explain what croup is and why cold air and steroids help, and Scott gives his approach to sleep training at four months using gradual check-ins, saying it doesn’t harm babies and helps the whole family sleep. They discuss high-anxiety parenting trends, boundaries with demanding families, and how doctors prioritize the child. Scott describes a frightening health scare with his daughter that turned out benign, and his own severe West Nile meningitis in 2020. They also talk about today’s kids’ mental health struggles, screen time and phones, safety at sleepovers, teen confidentiality talks, and back-to-school sickness tips.
