Quotes
"Google and textbooks and magazines do not know you and do not know your child. So when they give you advice, generally it's the worst advice for the worst scenario."
"It feels safe. It can feel safe, but is it healthy? It's not healthy because we're now boxed ourselves into something that doesn't really reflect reality. It reflects our fears and our anxieties."
"That's a really important point that I want to talk about because it's one of these things that you start to feel like you may be a failure."
"Babies don't think, they feel."
"I've got a severe case of Google-itis!"
