To optimize the development and well-being of our children, the physical health and the mental health must be considered at every step.

Infant mental health – Part I
Of all the things that we do in society, infant mental health is the most crucial of all.
Trust – multifaceted and hopefully pervasive
Developing and nurturing trust should be a constant process.

Living with artificial differences can be healthy so long we understand our commonality and embrace our humanity.

Corporal punishment has no demonstrable positive effects. In the short-term, the child might be fearful or obedient, but in the long-term, there is no consistent improvement in behavior.
My Three Moms and SSNRs
I am firm believer that we are never done developing, and I hope that the nurturing from my three moms and their SSNRs will continue to be the beacon for me going forward.
