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

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

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.

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

I think a lot of times on TV we see caricatures - that's what's funny.
