How do you build connection and foster healthy attachment in your family? In today's episode we'll discuss all things attachment with our guest Eli Harwood, author of "Raising Securely Attached Kids." It turns out that attachment is not just about babies and toddlers. Eli shares FOUR main areas for parents to focus on to help kids feel loved and secure. She says that as parents we need to...

1) LIGHT UP

2) SHOW UP

3) LISTEN UP &

4) MAKE UP

Take a listen to the full episode to learn the details of what these steps mean and how to apply them. You can find Eli's work @attachmentnerd and at her website attachmentnerd.com.
