• Why some kids throw the ball too hard, sabotage games, or can’t attach — and the simple fix
• The exact play techniques that calm a dysregulated nervous system in minutes
• How to turn everyday moments (baking, fishing, even unloading the dishwasher) into deep healing
• The #1 mistake adoptive/foster parents make that keeps kids stuck (and how to avoid it)
