Of all the things that we do in society, infant mental health is the most crucial of all.
Thoughts
Perspectives
Perspectives can unite us or bitterly separate us. We can choose to see the other side and acknowledge basic truths, or we fiercely argue only what we “see” and refuse to accept alternate ways to move forward constructively.
Welfare is not a dirty word
Let’s make welfare a goal rather than an evil presence. Let’s make American generous again.
Freedom and children
We cannot just be content with removing barriers, but we must be constructing systems, capacity, and time for parents and communities to supply “good” that will lead to thriving children and families.
Trust – multifaceted and hopefully pervasive
Developing and nurturing trust should be a constant process.
Our better angels
I will continue to fight for our children, constantly endeavoring to invoke our better angels and working with others to keep our better angels at the forefront of our actions and interactions.
