This week we're discussing the end of Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff, Ph.D. Chapter 15 is called "The Ancient Antidote for Depression." Michaeleen discusses her own postpartum depression and her realization that what she was missing early on in Rosy's life was community and support in the form of "alloparents." She gives us ways that we can create networks of support in our own communities to help combat the loneliness and isolation parents often feel. We cover the "M" in her TEAM parenting acronym: Minimal Interference. Michaeleen gives us examples of how she has cut down on interfering with Rosy's actions from moment to moment, focusing more on controlling their family's general schedule. Chapter 16 is simply called "Sleep" and Michaeleen describes how she ditched the bedtime routine in favor of a more natural approach in which Rosy chooses to go to bed when she's tired. We wrap up with the prologue, which is short and sweet. Hope you've enjoyed reading this great book with us!
