Jennifer returns to continue where our last conversation left off to talk to us about the importance of being "a good frontal lobe" for your children, using the CALM technique to help de-escalate familial conflicts, and the importance of staying connected with your children and the motivations behind many of their behaviours, which are as important to understand now as ever while managing these new shelter-at-home circumstances.
