reFRAMED Podcast Presented by the Gladney Center for Adoption

reFRAMED Host, Tiffany Anderson, talks with guests Heather Rogers & Stacy Wright about sensory integration.

We are thrilled to talk with Bill Porter, MA, who has been working with at-risk children for over 20 years. Bill and podcast host, Tiffany Anderson, have a conversation about parenting, relationships, mindfulness, and connections.

So often as parents, we focus on our child. But in practice, that doesn't really work. You end up burning out. You have to focus on yourself as the "captain of the ship". What you bring to the table directly affects your child. Knowing your history and what you bring to parenting is incredibly important no matter how old your children are.

Introduction to Season 3 ... The reFRAMED podcast is created to educate, encourage, and inspire parents and professionals that have a love for children and want to meet their needs. Each episode has a special guest that is an expert in their field. We have real conversations about how we reframe our parenting skills, expectations, and practices from traditional parenting into mindful parenting.

Gladney University recently had the honor of presenting Bridging the Gap: Strengthening Competencies of Transracial Adoptive Parents. We enjoyed the training so much that we just had to continue the conversation.
