Heather Boyd, occupational therapist and mom of 3, shares ways that separation-based advice backfires and what to do instead.

Listen to this episode for examples of bad separation-based advice that Heather wishes she’d ignored early on in parenting, and what to do instead.

And with connection and co-regulation, the alarm of separation can soften.
