The content provided by wonderbefore, including our podcast episodes, blog posts, and related materials, is created for educational and entertainment purposes. While we reference scientific research, including studies on the Default Mode Network and child development, our content is not intended as medical, psychological, therapeutic, or professional advice.
Not Medical or Therapeutic Advice
wonderbefore stories and content are creative works designed to support imagination and contemplation in children. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
If you have concerns about your child's development, behavior, sleep, mental health, or any other health-related matter, please consult a qualified healthcare provider, pediatrician, or licensed mental health professional.
Research References
When we discuss scientific research or neuroscience concepts (such as the Default Mode Network), we are translating complex scientific findings into accessible language for general audiences.

We encourage parents interested in science to explore primary research sources and consult experts in relevant fields.
