| Introduction | Why read what I write? I went to the University of Minnesota and got my Bachelor's of Science in Child Psychology, with an emphasis in Development. My 3 years of lab work consisted of working in Dr. Megan Gunnar's Stress Lab. The specific study I worked with involved how stress (cortisol level) impacts brain development. During and after college I nannied and taught Pre K and then moved into the actual teaching world. Then I gained the greatest knowledge and expertise I ever could; I became a mom. No amount of textbooks, lecturers, or teaching could have prepared me for the 24/7 life-changing experience that is parenthood. Read my entries because I am a mom, probably just like you. We have probably had similar experiences. Hopefully, with my sarcasm, cynicism, and Type A craziness, I can give you a slightly different perspective. Follow me @TheCandidParent |
