Being present and showing up is important in every relationship, especially when it comes to raising our children. The best predictor of how a child turns out is their attachment to at least one parent. It's not simply about being there when they come home from school or showing up for each baseball game, it's about making our children feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure.

Vanessa is chatting with Dr. Tina Bryson, author of "The Power of Showing Up." Tina, a therapist and mother of three, discusses the power of the 4 S's and how they relate to "attachment science". Whether you're a working mom, a foster mom, a first-time mom, a single parent, or otherwise, you will want to hear what she has to share.

When children feel safe, seen, and soothed they become secure in themselves and develop grit and resilience to face life's challenges. And isn't that what we all want for our kids?
