Episode 8: Toddlers, Trust & Tiny Yeses: Building Real Relationships with Kids
Update: 2025-02-11
Description
In this episode, Alana chats with Dr. Noah Hichenberg about his new book and how we can build reciprocal, trusting relationships with toddlers. Noah challenges the traditional adult-child dynamic, emphasizing collaboration over control and the power of being an ally in a child’s world. They explore how small shifts—saying “yes” instead of “no” and truly listening—can foster connection, trust, and social growth. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode offers practical strategies to deepen your relationship with young children.
