    Episode 50- The importance of belonging and friendships

    Welcome to Episode 50 of Coaching Youth for Life! We made it to 50! This podcast has undergone several rebranding periods so it feels especially exciting to hit episode 50 and reflect on where we have been and where we are going. I am so glad you're here. In this episode, I chat about the importance of belonging and friendships for our kids who are struggling with self-regulation. When kids are struggling, these are the first two areas I try and zone in on (in addition to better understanding a child's executive function skills) and encourage teams to think about. Side note- this episode was recorded while I was traveling in my car (safely, hands free, thanks to Siri!) and as such audio quality may be different from previous episodes.
