Want to (re)connect with the kids in your life instead of getting caught in the spiral of disconnection and discontent?

Whether *you* have a neurospicy brain, the kids in your life do, or a combination of both, this episode is for you.

This week, Steph Linn (CPC, ACC) talks with Chantal Massad (CPC) about how to "connect before you correct" your kids. From littles to opinionated teens, Chantal's empathetic, straightforward approach will help you bridge the gap with the young ones in your life and break the cycles of emotional repression and broken communication many of us inherent from previous generations. There's hope to make your HSP and / or ADHD work for you AND for the neurospicy kids in your life too.
