In this episode of Caring for Kids, Cole and Gina share their experience of caring for over 11 years, often supporting newborns straight from hospital. 

They speak about creating a calm and responsive home, where routines are guided by the child and their individual needs. At the center of their approach is a strong belief that culture is a birthright, something that comes with the child and must be respected and upheld from the very beginning. 

This is a grounded and thoughtful conversation about advocacy, care and what it means to create safety, stability and healing from day one.
