During the formative years, in particular the first few are crucial because kids form deep emotional bonds with their primary caregivers - often Mom in particular, but not exclusively - and these bonds lay the groundwork for how we relate to others throughout life."

"I grew up in a country and a city where being indifferent to sports can get you branded an unpatriotic. Canada, after all, has its holy trinity: hockey, maple syrup and apologizing.
