Nick Cannonis studying to understand his kids on an educational level.
The dad of 12 appeared on the podcastThe Language of Love with Dr. Laura Bermanearlier this month, where the 42-year-old opened up about his educational journey.
While discussing his plans for pursuing a master’s in psychology and a Ph.D. in divinity, theMasked Singerhost reflected on shifting his master’s to child psychology.
“Yeah, that’ll come in handy,” Berman said, as Cannon added he’s “I’m in that conversation every day.”
“Oh, the presence of a father and how much will they need you and the Freudian aspect of reverting back to your childhood trauma, or the lack thereof. Nature vs nurture. These are conversations I have several times every single day,” Cannon continued.

“With who?” asked Berman. “With naysayers or with the mamas?”
“Nah, not naysayers. But I’m like, I’m living, whether in therapy on my own or even just wanting to make sure that every single child has what they need, developmentally. And emotionally. I’m studying the brain and at what point does sensory matter,” Cannon explained.
Elsewhere on the podcast, Cannon spoke abouta recent challengehe encountered while trying to juggle two sick babies.
“And I was willing to be there physically but I don’t know if I was available at the level that she needed me emotionally,” Cannon affirmed.
“And you have to stop, she was focused on you coming over at like, let’s make up a time,” Berman continued. “And going together, to the appointment together, as opposed to meeting at the appointment,” theMasked Singerhost replied.
