I contribute to Parents as their advice columnist in their regular feature, Ask Your Mom. I have also written for Washington Post, Scary Mommy, Good Housekeeping, and Motherly, and been regularly featured as a parenting expert across outlets. In addition to expertise in autonomy-supportive parenting, I write about and comment on stress unique to modern parenting, children’s mental health, and how to make family lives easier and happier.
