I'm big on my kids being conventionally polite, and it works really well for them.

My first son didn't really take a bottle, and I didn't like giving bottles.

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 like army boots, I like peasant skirts - sometimes together! So I do know that I have odd taste.

The level of communication you can achieve with an infant is really profound.

When you're used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.

I don’t want to say everything happens for a reason, but every day is lined up right next to the other one for a reason. The best you can do is do each day well with kindness and as a good person.
