What is Attachment Theory?  How, if at all, does it relate to Attachment Parenting?  How does the activity and growth of our brain impact the relationships we have with our kids and their behavior?

On today's episode, Jacquie provides some clear and easily understandable insight into all of these things.  As a great companion to last week's episode where we discussed creating a coherent narrative, we will examine how the way we were related to as children shapes the way we relate to our kids, and many of the behaviors that result!
