About Dr. Heather
I’m a licensed psychologist with a specialty in the development of babies, toddlers, preschoolers and parents. I’m also married to a shrink, and we have three young children.
This site was “born” out of the need for information on how to be a Good-Enough Parent. Much of the popular parenting media today gives us strong messages about the “right” and “wrong” of parenting decisions, without taking into account our own unique kids, and our own parenting styles. Indeed, much of the parenting advice available today doesn’t even take into consideration what we know about infant and child development. It’s no wonder that parents feel confused and worried that they’re making the wrong decisions!
Here at BabyShrink, there’s a group of like-minded readers who are interested in learning about child development — and PARENT development. We’re interested in creating the most supportive environments for our families. And we’re not here to have “holier than thou” opinions about your parenting choices! BabyShrink’s readers are supportive to each other and help to get through the parenting dilemmas that we all face.
