| 0:00.0 | Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting. |
| 0:07.0 | Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels. |
| 0:11.0 | Hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival |
| 0:16.0 | Podcast. If this is your first time listening, my name is Natasha Daniels and I |
