About Professor James McKenna, PhD.

Dr. McKenna is the Edmund P. Joyce C.S.C. Chair in Anthropology at Notre Dame University and the Director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Anthropology and his Ph.D. from the University of Oregon, also in Anthropology. He taught at the University of California at Berkeley for two years before accepting a tenure track position at Pomona College in Claremont, California where he taught for 20 years, and won several teaching awards. In 1997, he was recruited by the University of Notre Dame, where he is a Professor and the director of the University of Notre Dame Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory. His areas of interest and expertise are Infant Sleep, Breast Feeding, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Evolution of Human Behavior (especially parenting and infant development). Dr. McKenna is best known for his pioneering studies of the differences between the physiology and behavior of solitary and co-sleeping mothers and infants-and the connection these data might have in addressing SIDS risks. He has published three books, the most recent one titled Sleeping with Your Baby: A Parent’s Guide to Cosleeping. In addition, he has published well over 50 peer-reviewed papers on SIDS and co-sleeping.

Sign up now to listen in as API Co-Founders Barbara Nicholson and Lysa Parker talk with Lu Hanessian about using our mistakes, conflicts and fears to raise our kids.

* Are you enjoying the ride with your children…or feeling burdened by vicious circles, self-doubt and guilt?
* Do you feel regretful of your reactions and exasperated by the dynamics with your child?
* Do you wonder if you’re messing up with your kids?

On this call, API founders Lysa Parker and Barbara Nicholson talk with Lu about how:

* our “flaws” are actually pathways to raising resilient, secure, connected kids
* without an awareness of how our story drives our fears, our kids re-enact it
* without self-understanding and empathy, parents then tend to manage rather than engage, control rather than connect, in a chronic practice of “defensive parenting”
* we can turn our old wounds to new wisdom and teach our children resilience
* we can use the gift of our anger, fear, doubt, chaos, anxiety, struggles, and conflicts to “heal” our inner conflicts both in brains, minds and relationships
* understanding the brain science of attachment can give us our roadmap for reconnection even if we came from a painful past with insecure attachments
* we can create or “earn” a secure attachment so we can offer this to our kids
