Nick Cannon is carving out time as a busy father of 12 to pursue a degree in child psychology.

During a June 14 appearance on the Language of Love podcast, the Masked Singer host explained that he had previously planned to get a general degree in psychology but later decided to focus on child psychology specifically.

I was already going to get a masters in psychology and a Ph.D. in divinity. ... Then I shifted instead of just a masters in psychology, now its more in child psychology, he said, because this is my life.

Cannon stated that he takes part in psychology-related conversations several times a day, adding that hes aimed to make sure his children have what they need developmentally and emotionally.

Im studying the brain at what point does sensory matter? he said, offering an example of some of the topics and questions he has explored.
