Tess Connolly LCSW talks with Dr Carol Scott about a developmental reset for self awareness success, a 7 step strategy which looks back at skills that we should have gained in our younger years but we may be missing in our later years. They discuss how learning these skills now and resetting our brains can help our tweens and teens grow and learn and help them thrive in their lives by learning the skills that perhaps we were missing. 

• Dr Carol Scott tells us about her journey into child development and the work she has done in this area over her career and the work she does now with adults delivering strategies to help adults learn these 7 success skills they should have learned in their younger years. 
• Dr Carol Scott shares her knowledge on the seven stair steps (trust, dependence, faith, negotiation, vision, compromise and acceptance) from birth to second grade and explains the process that children go through at this age and how this is relevant to self awareness success.  
• Dr Carol Scott talks about the importance of these 7 skills areas in our tweens and teens lives and how these skills are so important in them forming great relationships through these important years in their life. 
• Tess and Dr Carol Scott talk about the confusing time that tweens and teens are going through and how they are trying to balance so many emotions and hormonal changes alongside their brain going through pivotal changes as they move through these years. 
• Dr Carol Scott offers some strategies and advice to parents as to how we can help our children develop the skills in the seven stair steps. She talks about how we need to take a look at where we are, so we can recover ourselves in order to help our children grow and learn these skills. 
• Tess and Dr Carol Scott talk about the similarities in development of 3yr olds and tweens in the way they are willing to try anything and throw themselves at the world. 
• Dr Carol Scott is most grateful for living in the warm weather of Baja, Mexico through the winter months and she is also grateful for the childhood that she had so she could go through the healing and recovery so she could use this experience to help other people recover and help others rewire their brain through her work.
