Summary

Spooky season has begun which means many of us are beginning to shop for Halloween costumes. Unless you’re like tori in which case you’ve got weeks until you have to worry about it. Mood, honestly. This episode we discuss how Halloween costumes trigger Gwenna’s childhood trauma, how to help your kid deal with comparisons, overcompensating, and projecting. (Okay well, the projecting this is mostly on the parents but it makes sense in the episode. Descriptions are hard, mmkay?) We want to hear from you! What are your thoughts on Halloween costumes and/or what was your best costume ever? Email us: childproofmail@gmail.com Pre-order Gwenna’s new book (It helps a lot with the whole projecting your trauma thing, I promise.)
