If there is any truth to my parenting the dreamwork movement it comes from the power of the press.

Parenting is not for sissies. You have to sacrifice and grow up.

For decades parents were told by so-called parenting 'experts' that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer.

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.

I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting which is a style of parenting that... basically the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.

Attachment parenting is not a passive parenting style.

Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.

We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys not the hassles the love not the disappointments the common sense not the complexities.

Parenting as an unpaid occupation outside the world of public power entails lower status less power and less control of resources than paid work.
