Description

Tina Donovan is passionate about helping children and adults understand the power of genuine connection. Growing up in a time when children were expected to be “seen and not heard,” she experienced the lasting effects of limited emotional connection—what’s known as transgenerational trauma. Drawing on her personal experiences, counseling background, and research, Tina helps others recognize and overcome these patterns. Her mission is to guide individuals and families toward stronger communication, empathy, and meaningful connection.


On this episode of Smart Parents Successful Students, you will hear:


  • How parents can learn strategies to strengthen emotional connection and improve academic performance

  • Ways that Sparky’s adventures teach kids how to manage emotions and practice kindness

  • Simple tools to track and nurture a child’s emotional well-being

  • Why Discovery Tales equips teachers and caregivers to build stronger emotional connections with children
