Quotes by Greer Kirshenbaum (?)

“So when you feel challenged by nurture, this is why: You are doing something profound. You are doing tremendous work building a brain, the most complex thing in existence besides perhaps the universe. You are building countless brain cells and receptors in your baby’s brain with your brain. This is intense, deep work and something to truly be proud of and celebrate.”
― Greer Kirshenbaum, The Nurture Revolution: Grow Your Baby's Brain and Transform Their Mental Health through the Art of Nurtured Parenting

“Might we get special access in parenthood to rewire our emotional brains that developed in infancy? We can repeat what happened to us—the way we were programmed to parent. Or we can change by consciously nurturing and taking advantage of this adult neuroplasticity that occurs as we become parents. When we immerse our developing parenting brains in oxytocin from nurture and create conscious changes, we can dramatically reshape our amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and insula toward mental health.”
