Child psychologist and play therapist Dr. Jill Leibowitz joins Lisa to answer it honestly, without the guilt trip and without false reassurance.She and Lisa talk through the signs a child is struggling more than they're letting on, how to support a kid who feels stuck in the middle, and one distinction that changes everything: your needs and your child's needs are not the same thing.
