So excited to kick off Season 4 with this episode highlighting a practical tool that we can use to connect with our children...the healing power of touch. Whether you are rubbing your babies belly to relieve gas or rubbing your older child's back as you check in before bed, we talk about how all children and adults benefit from this under-utilized "love language". Stay tuned to the end where I share two breathing "games" you can play to soothe yourself and your children.
