Love and Support Transform Struggling Child's Behavior
This made me very emotional to go back and think about. After our third child was born, one of our kids was really struggling. This is how we helped her. 4 years later, we still see the fruits of this work. Seeing your child as a good kid who desperately needs you matters. Our kids need our love and support more than anything else. This is what will soften their behaviour and make them want to work with you. 😭

Fetal Urine Fuels Amniotic Fluid, Shaping Lung Development
