0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival
0:16.7	Podcast. I hope you're having a great day. Today I am talking to Daniel Putro and she is a local psychiatric nurse practitioner that I
0:27.2	invited to my show because I've had many many many questions about
