My grandmother, Dr. Shireen Lakhani (Valliani) has been one of the most significant influences in my life, and much of who I am today is because of her. Two weeks ago, she passed away.
In the fields of child development, psychology, education, and social work, we know the importance of extended family, loving adults, and positive role models in the lives of young children. My grandmother was an exceptional loving adult and positive role model in my own life, to say the least.
