But, if you want to know what is going on internally, look at what is happening outside of you. Confused? Great. Listen to this podcast. Support the show We're eager to hear from you!

Send us a text When there is something happening in a child’s life and we want to protect them, our adult tendency is to smooth things over as quickly as possible, minimize things, and in essence, lie to them.
