This podcast (and most of your podcasts) just was so easy to listen to and I felt like I could've been having this conversation with both you and Jessica Alba - which is worlds away from reality!Your Podcasts are so patient and thoughtful and terribly real and helpful
so much useful information, you may need to listen twice
I agree. Please write a book! Some parents love to be challenged, especially in ways that can actually make an impression that could potentially change a generation. Empathy is lacking in the world today. As parents, we have an opportunity to plant seeds. and we need tools to know how.
Thanks for your podcast, I am listening from Mongolia
loved this episode and really looking forward to reading this book. thanks for exploring the science of attachment!
What an honest and real Q&A with Jennifer Garner! Highly impressed.
loved this episode! I especially loved the Q & A's at the end. the answers were very helpful because they included examples of convos that might/can happen... my 3 yr old is in the tantrum stage as well so being given an idea of what I can respond instead is awesome!💖
