2/3: It’s about the importance of prioritizing children over everything else when they are young and being as present physically and emotionally as you are able given your circumstances. No one can deny this basic reality and truth. Creating a child-centric society is crucial.

Our boys' academic and social performance woes are not due to any fault of their own. It is because we have established a system that contradicts their natural inclinations instead of aligning with their instincts. My latest for @FamStudies ➡️

Parentel leave policies are crucial investments in the social and emotional health of our future leaders. It is time our government gets serious about their investments in children -- starting with investing in parents. Read my pice in @NYDailyNews :

"Sometimes stepping out of the fast lane, and living at our own pace, can put us on a more interesting, and more fulfilling path." One of my #Fridayreads on the bad deal we as women have negotiated.

When we tell our children that relationships matter less than career, they internalize it.

With mothers often craving support that's increasingly hard to find, it's no wonder that many women are delaying motherhood. We as a society must do better to support families, not only financially, but mentally as well.

The American parenting style is diverse but it seems that one thing is common: hovering. Kids need protection and guidance, but how much is too much? When does the judgement end? One mom says: “The hostility toward mothers in the U.S. just blows my mind.”

A new study out of the University of Glasgow indicates that breastfeeding for just the first six weeks helps a baby to transition and positively impacts their right—or social-emotional—brain development. See my blog post for @FamStudies on this here: .

I’m glad @WSJopinion didn’t shy away either. It’s only through discourse that we can get over our differences.

For #ValentinesDay , let’s think about how love can transform our society. @BradWilcoxIFS ’s book looks at marriage as a cornerstone of society and why we should promote it. Even if we all cannot live in the ideal, understanding it allows us to move closer.

Why You Should Get Married

Isn’t marriage a trap, mostly for men? Don’t most married couples end up getting divorced? And aren’t most men happier when they’re single? These are the kind of questions I get from young men...
