Welcome to Dr Think Smart:
Practical, Science-Based Parenting Advice
Founded by a passionate mother and doctorate in chemistry, we bridge the gap between rigorous scientific research and everyday parenting realities.
She wanted to connect what real science tells us with the everyday joys and challenges of raising kids. We’re not just here to give advice; we aim to share clear, science-backed ideas that truly help families live better.
We think parenting is both an art and a science. When you understand the “why” behind how kids grow, it can turn daily struggles into meaningful chances for them to learn, for you to connect, and for everyone to find more happiness.
Our Founder Story
Scientific Excellence
A trained chemist with decades of academic rigor, bringing methodical research skills to parenting questions.
Mother's Wisdom
Real-world parenting experience that grounds every scientific insight in practical, compassionate understanding.
Bridging the Gap
Inspired by the disconnect between research and popular advice, creating trustworthy guidance for science-minded caregivers.
This space was born from a simple desire: to support fellow parents who crave clarity over opinions, evidence over trends. A community where questions are met with research, and every family finds practical, compassionate help on their unique journey.
Why Science Matters In Parenting?
Lifelong Impact
Early parenting decisions shape cognitive, emotional, and social outcomes that last a lifetime. Understanding the mechanisms helps us choose wisely.
Cross-Disciplinary Insights
We translate complex research from developmental psychology, neuroscience, behavioral science, and epigenetics into clear, actionable guidance.
For Every Kind of Family
We know every family is different and special. We respect all the ways people parent and all cultures, because even though parenting is very personal, good science can help everyone.
What We Offer
Evidence-Based Articles
Clear, well-referenced content that cuts through myths and misinformation with scientific precision.
Practical Strategies
Actionable advice grounded in the latest peer-reviewed research, designed for real families.
Tailored Resources
Time-efficient guidance for busy parents who want to nurture growth with confidence.
Supportive Community
A welcoming space where questions are encouraged and evidence guides every conversation.
Everything we make is with your family in mind. We get it – parenting is tough, time flies, and you need information you can really count on.
How Do I Work
I read all the boring studies so you don’t have to. Then, I turn what I find into simple ideas you can use this week—not “someday when life calms down.”
I’m not here to tell you to “embrace the chaos” or “find your zen.” I’m here to share what actually works, according to the facts, and to be honest when nobody really knows yet.
This is solid, real-world advice for parents who don’t have time for fluff.
Our Commitment to You
Transparency
Everything we share is based on real, trusted research. We’ll always show you our sources so you can feel good about the advice you’re getting.
Empathy
Parenting is a wild ride, and we know it’s not always easy. We’re here to listen, understand, and offer support every step of the way.
Inclusivity
No matter what your family looks like, where you come from, or how you choose to parent, we believe your journey is valuable and belongs here.
Continuous Learning
Science keeps changing, and so do we. We stay on top of the newest findings so we can pass that knowledge on to you, helping you feel confident and prepared.
Inspired by Leading Parenting Science Voices
We really look up to people like Dr. Gwen Dewar, who’s been breaking down parenting research for everyone since 2006.
Just like her respected Parenting Science platform, we believe in looking at parenting from all sides – what we know about how people act (anthropology), how our minds work (psychology), and even how our brains develop (neuroscience).
We also follow the lead of trusted groups around the world who use solid research to figure out real-life parenting puzzles. We’re building on what these amazing experts have already discovered, and turning their big ideas into simple, helpful tips for today’s parents.

A Note from Our Founder
“As a scientist and a mom, I totally get how much parenting can feel like a lot to handle. There’s all the conflicting advice, the sleepless nights spent wondering if you’re doing it right, and that guilt that seems to come with every decision.”
