What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans

In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Michaeleen Doucleff travels with her three-year-old daughter to learn parenting strategies from families in Maya, Inuit, and Hadzabe communities.

Doucleff introduces the concept of TEAM parenting: togetherness, encouragement, autonomy, and minimal interference, and provides practical takeaways for parents to implement these strategies in their own lives.
