Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast. I'm Sissy Gough. I'm David Thomas and I'm

Melissa Trevathan. And we're so glad you've set aside a few minutes to spend with us today.

In each episode of this podcast we'll share some of what we're learning in the work we do

with kids and families on a daily basis at Daystar Counseling in Nashville, Tennessee.

Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life

with a little more understanding,

a little more practical help, and a whole lot of hope.

So pull up a chair and join us on this journey from our little yellow house to yours.

The Raising Boys and Girls Podcast is brought to you in partnership with Mino.

Mino provides meaningful screen time and shared experiences for families to help you grow

in your fade together. Check them out at podcast.gomino.com. That's podcast dot geominnnnnn.

We are over the top

We are over the top excited about today's guests. This is someone we have long respected

recommended her books more times than I could possibly count and thrilled that you all are going to get to lean into a

really rich conversation that we shared around consistent practices today.

So we are delighted that our guest is Dr. Tina Payne Bryson.

She is the author of Bottom Line for Baby and co-author with Dan Siegel

of The Power of Showing Up and The Yes Brain, as well as two New York Times bestsellers the

over 40 languages that's amazing and I'm so thankful that's the case that anyone anywhere

Center for Connection, a multidisciplinary clinical practice, and of the Play Strong Institute, a center devoted to the study, research, and practice of play therapy through a neurodevelopmental lens.
