ParentTalk# with Bev

This episode continues the theme looking at some hidden cost around what our children might carried beneath the surface.  “Children are always watching. Always listening.  The question is: what are they carrying from the environments we call home—our relationships, families, and circles of friends?” Listen as I think out loud.
