Trying to do Treebook from "Getting the Latest Changes" without using attr_accessible, Rails 4 +

I'm at about 5:20 into "getting the latest changes" and realized that I was either going to have to figure out how to do this with "strong parameters" or by adding "protected_attributes" to my Gemfile. Only problem is that I tried the "protected_attributes" technique and it didn't work, but I don't have a clue how I can do the strong parameters thing. I'm worried I'll need a complete makeover of all my files that might be affected, and I don't even fully grasp the tutorial (hence learning), let alone how to customize it. Before I just ignored using attr_attributes and got as far as "creating relationships", at which point it wouldn't take the names.
