Bill Sears.

Now you're going there.

The, the, the two greats, right?

Mm

... you know, for the parent that's not doing this currently or is, wants to explore it more.

But just for folks' awareness here, your background on this is really fascinating because this attachment parenting approach, which again, Dr., uh, Bill Sears is another great father of, and, and is phenomenal, but you and Lisa had this early exposure to it that tr- changed your trajectory.
