Child Attachment Expert Erica Komisar On The Dangers Of Daycare, The Rise Of Childhood ADHD And How To Reverse It, And How Women Can Have It All! Thursday, July 11th, 2025 | Sarah Fraser

ICYMI, this episode aired in spring of 2025 and OHHH BOY did it fire a lot of you up! In this episode, I had an enlightening conversation with Erica Komisar, a psychoanalyst and author of Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters . Erica shared her extensive research on the critical importance of a mother's physical and emotional presence in the early years of a child's life. We discussed the myths surrounding "quality time," the detrimental effects of daycare, and the cultural shifts that have led parents to prioritize careers over their children. Erika emphasized the unique roles of mothers and fathers, the long-term impact of early childhood experiences, and offered practical advice for parents who may have made common mistakes. This episode is a deep dive into understanding how to raise emotionally resilient and well-adjusted children in today's fast-paced world.
