There’s really no point in having children if you’re not going to be home enough to father them.

If there is any truth to my parenting the dreamwork movement, it comes from the power of the press.

The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease. As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasn’t been able to keep up.
