                <description><![CDATA[There’s a reason I never tire of writing about inner-directed play. Infant and toddler playtime is parenting gold.

Parents are typically in short supply of both those things.

                <description><![CDATA[A recent post, Is Your Baby A Bully? Genius? Shy? Why We Should Lose Labels, stirred up unexpected controversy.
