Submitted manuscript edits for my next project: a BOARD BOOK series with @FreeSpiritBooks! **Bring on books for babies!** I'll never forget my babies' giggles when I read them @SandyBoynton’s "Moo Baa La La La" or "Barnyard Dance" (over and over and over again).

I had a chance to interview @susancain about her powerful new book "Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole." It's not a parenting book--but she offers *so* much wisdom for caregivers. I've been thinking about our conversation for days . . . https://t.co/xEujKB4gtm

My inner voice isn’t always kind -- and I bet yours isn't either. Grateful to @ethan_kross and @robertwaldinger for their insights into how to tame this chatter -- and to @BostonGlobeMag for providing a landing place for it. https://t.co/KD3nfrtfOj

A few years ago, I interviewed @mitchprinstein about his book "Popular" for @MindShiftKQED. I still think it's a must-read for anyone who works with adolescents. https://t.co/XnhkNbEm42

I read "You Have Feelings All the Time" to over 100 preschoolers yesterday... and we had AMAZING conversations about what makes them feel happy, sad, scared, and mad. Kids love talking about emotions -- adults just need to keep the conversation going.
