Erin approaches these sometimes-daunting topics with a relatable and warm presence, finding moments of humor in the daily chaos of family life. It’s a resource that feels like a thoughtful conversation with a knowledgeable friend, one who understands that parenting is about nurturing the whole child-and the whole parent, too.
