This is not a book in which I explain to you why what you have done or want to do is wrong, and why your children will be forever scarred by your selfish and outrageous parenting. You and your family are the only ones who can decide how to parent."Last night I attended an event in Santa Monica where Mayim spoke about her book before signing copies for those in attendance. Following is a full video of her talk - she begins by addressing the five most common questions she's faced while on her book tour, and finishes by taking questions from the audience.
