We expect children to develop physical, mental, and emotional skills, but that won't happen unless the child feels safe.  And in order to feel safe, there needs to be a connection. But what does that mean?  And can there be a true connection even before the child is talking?

Today we're talking all things social skills, with Christine Burkhart, the owner of Building Connections, which empowers children of all abilities.
