Attachment parenting is not a passive parenting style.

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 realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.
