She discusses the impact of early trauma on children's development, including behavioral responses like fight, flight, and freeze, and sensory issues similar to those seen in autism. She highlights the importance of co-regulation and play in therapy, and the need for prevention through community support and education.

The episode concludes with a call for compassion and understanding towards children with challenging behaviors, and a reminder of the significant influence adults have on children's spiritual, physical, emotional, and behavioral development.
