What do our kids really need from us? In this episode, I break down three powerful, research-backed essentials every child needs for healthy emotional development. And here’s the thing—we never outgrow them. We all need to know who we are (identity), that we’re truly loved, and that we’re genuinely liked—not just for what we do, but for who we are. This is practical, real-world parenting advice with impact. Whether you’re raising kids, working with students, or just trying to build stronger relationships and better emotional health, this episode is for you.
