Instead, Mayim got her Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA, married her college sweetheart, and had two kids. Mayim then did what many new moms do¿she read a lot of books, talked with other parents, and she soon started questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom she heard about the \"right\" way to raise a child. That's when she turned to attachment parenting, a philosophy and lifestyle popularized by well-known physicians like Dr. William Sears and Dr. Jay Gordon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Mayim, attachment parenting's natural, child-led approach not only felt right emotionally, it made sense intellectually and instinctually. She found that when she followed her intuition and relaxed into her role as a mother instead of following some rigid parenting script, both she and her children thrived. Drawing on both her experience as a mother and her scientific background, Mayim explores the major tenets of attachment parenting, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCo-sleeping: How to avoid \"sleep training\" and get a great night's sleep for the whole family. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreastfeeding: Learn how to listen to your baby's cues rather than sticking to a rigid schedule¿and why people on airplanes love a nursing mother. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby wearing: How to \"wear\" your baby in a sling or a wrap to develop a closer bond with your child¿it's possible even for mamas with bad backs (and with big babies)! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle discipline: How to get your child to behave without yelling, threats, or time-outs¿it really can be done. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMayim describes the beauty, simplicity, and purposefulness of attachment parenting, and how it has become the guiding principle for her family.
