After completing his pediatric residency at Massachusetts General Hopsital, and then a fellowship in child development with
Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, Bill started a practice combining his medical expertise with his interest in child development that
attracted patients from every New England state.
For the last ten years he has been head of Red Tae Associates,
a non-profit organization that has served parents across America in rural, suburban, and inner-city areas. Parents seek assistance
by phone ( 800 422 6661) or personal consultation on topics ranging from breast feeding to adolescent dating, school performance
to the effects of divorce. He has been quoted in numerous magazine articles as well as appearing on many television and radio
shows.
His books, including the widely acclaimed Self-Calmed Baby, have been excerpted and cited frequently, and
with Jenny Lewis he has recently released Don't Divorce Your Children, a ground-breaking book which advocates for the children
of divorce.
Bill and Jenny have collaborated professionally since the fellowship with Dr. Brazelton. They are
currently working on web based materials for parents that provide interactive education about children and parenting.
"My goal has always been to help families build strong parent-child relationships that foster children becoming more
self-sufficient. As I have had the opportunity to listen to children from around the country and around the world, I have
found new ways to enable parents to understand both the meaning of their children's behavior and the range of what their children
are thinking and feeling. This approach lets the whole family participate in creating solutions that resolve problems, and
prevent others from occurring."

JENNIFER LEWIS M.D.
Jenny, a primary care pediatrician, did her medical training in London, England, and at Children's Hospital Medical Center
in Boston. She then pursued her interest in child development and behavior in a fellowship at Harvard Medical School under
the directorship of Dr. T. Berry Brazelton.
Since that time she has built a primary care pediatric practice with
a special emphasis on the behavioral and developmental issues of infancy and childhood. She has consulted to teachers, daycare
centers, and parent groups and given numerous workshops, seminars and presentations.
She is the co-author with
Dr. William Sammons of Premature Babies: a Different Beginning and of the newly released Don't Divorce Your Children (Contemporary
Books, 1999) which helps parents understand their children's perspective and needs during the life changes engendered by divorce.
The primary goal of this book, and Jenny's work with parents in general, is to keep parents and children of all ages communicating
and enjoying each other.
"As pediatrician and mother of two teenage daughters my pleasure is in helping
parents enjoy and celebrate the uniqueness and individuality of their children. Watching and listening to children of all
ages is my favorite activity and I urge parents to make it theirs. Through our children we learn not only about their thoughts
and feelings, but also about our own. When we are open to appreciating how much they can teach us, we all become better parents."
