Does Your Child Have At Least One Adult Who Has An Irrational, Emotional Relationship With Them?

May 1, 2022

“To develop normally, a child requires a relationship with at least one adult who has an irrational, emotional relationship with the child” – Urie Bronfenbrenner
In this episode, I discuss how the development of kids is influenced by the relationships that they have, the power of acceptance of children, and the power of relationship with kids and why it’s so important.
