The Attachment Network of Manitoba presents... Ten Things Your Child Wants You to Know
This is a podcast series on parenting, but with a twist! In this 8-episode series, our host Laurie McPherson has some in-depth conversations with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Sayma Malik, based on the Attachment Network’s “Ten Things” brochures. These brochures, and now these conversations, look at parenting from the perspective of the child, and through the lens of Attachment. If your baby, toddler, school-aged child or teenager could articulate what exactly they need from you in order to be secure and confident as they meet the challenges of a complex world, what might they say?
