Meredith F. Small is the Author of Our Babies Ourselves and this is a short little interview she has had.

Please remember that each person has their own area which they are good/educated in. I love Meredith’s book and I totally recommend it to anyone even if you are not a parent but I felt that she talked very little about the psychological side of each parenting style…meaning did the parenting styles which each culture imposed on their children give them the type of child they (the parents) wanted? Be it integrated be it distant be it what ever.

Each person who has studied in one or a few areas extensively (like Meredith) can offer us a part of the puzzle…then we as parents can put them all together creating…using Meredith’s words as a “care-package” that we want for our children.
