The Driving Development Podcast

Driving Development is a parenting and child development podcast hosted by pediatric physical therapist and educator Jena Schultz. Each week, Jena breaks down the overwhelming world of parenting advice, developmental milestones, therapy, and child health through an evidence-based, practical, and refreshingly honest lens.

Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or caregiver, you'll find thoughtful conversations about what the research actually says, what experts wish families knew, and how to make confident decisions for your unique child and family. From developmental concerns and parenting trends to controversial topics and everyday challenges, Jena brings nuance, critical thinking, and a healthy dose of humor to the conversation.

Expect expert guests, real-life parenting stories, occasional rants, unqualified opinions, and a reminder that there is rarely one "right" answer—just the right answer for your family.
