This week I speak to child and adolescent psychotherapist Debbie Cullinane.

She lives in Mayo with her husband James and their two kids, Elsie and Freddie.  

And in this conversation, she talks about the power of play in building connection with our children and why positive modelling and apologising is so important.

It’s an episode full of practical advice. I loved it and I hope you will too!
