When you’re used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.
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.
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 came to parenting the way most of us do – knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
I’m one of those people that thinks the Internet is amazing, and I can’t believe it exists.
