Specifically his public health project, Theater of War, and how it relates to all storytelling.

It's an embodiment of the good Greek word catharsis — releasing both insight and emotions that have had no place to go, and creating an energizing relief.

The toddler temperament presents a unique parenting challenge, but adding another child into the mix is a whole different animal. Today, your hosts invite Healthy Steps specialist, Christy Bezrutczyk, MSEd, CLC, to help them answer a listener question about just what to do, when a toddler and a little sibling find themselves at odds. Together, they delve even deeper into the topic, and discuss things like: How do we approach the "toddler versus the world" mindset? How do we prepare a toddler (and ourselves!) for a change at home, and a change in the family, like the impending arrival of another child? What tools can we use to manage behaviors and provide support, that we can carry on to even later in life? How are these tools useful in our other relationships? When can we expect toddlers to actually be able to share? And what am I supposed to do, in the meantime?   If you enjoy this episode, take a listen to our previous shows, and look out for the next episodes in the weeks to come.
