Simple Ways to Connect with Your Child

The Connecting Principles are the heart and soul of Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). Without connection, you’ll likely find yourself going down a dead-end street straight to burnout and overwhelm. So often, parents and caregivers only want to spend all their time correcting big behaviors. While correcting is important and necessary too, the child in your home desperately needs to build that trust and connection for the improvements the parent desires to be made.

Self-Care is ESSENTIAL, not selfish!

I wish I would have learned the importance of self-care and what self-care truly is earlier in life. If someone had told me, I probably wouldn’t have listened because I had to hit my “rock bottom” to truly realize my need. So, my purpose in writing this blog is to hopefully convince you to care for yourself before you hit your rock bottom. Please learn from my mistakes, so they were not in vain.
