Joy is Dedication to Development

Erin Runnion, Founder of The Joyful Child Foundation - In Memory of Samantha Runnion, discusses lessons learned about cultivating and protecting joy since her 5-year-old daughter's abduction and murder in 2002. This episode explores how our brains develop and the importance of helping children process experiences. The more we understand about how our brains develop and change over time, the more effectively we can improve emotional and behavioral responses in ourselves and in children.
