A tough but really important topic for us all this week. We discuss what developmental trauma is, how it impacts our kids, what we can do to protect against it and how to help children and families who have experienced it.

In our social skills episode we cover some of the amazing questions that came in about this important part of development. We dive into hitting, saying sorry, empathy, boys vs girls, the impact of childcare, conflict, shyness, neurodiversity, the role of schools, sticking up for yourself and many more. We hope you enjoy!
