True story-it’s about that day the worlds’ leading developmental psychologist in working with kids from hard places told me she wouldn’t want to be in my shoes. Uhhhmm...what?

Listen as you hear why I can seem so calm amidst angry/crazy behavior and what I learned about it. You too can become a helpful, safe person for others, learning to act verses react.

2.   Assess their needs

3.   Formulate a plan of action
