Families Matter Most

In this episode, psychotherapist and parenting coach Todd Sarner shares powerful insights into defiance, attachment, and the instincts driving our children's behavior. We explore why kids resist, what's really behind "challenging" behavior, and how understanding their emotional needs can transform how we respond. Todd brings clarity and compassion to the parenting journey, helping us move from reactivity to connection—with tools rooted in attachment theory and neuroscience. Perfect for any parent wanting to go deeper than discipline and discover the why behind their child's behavior. When we understand the why, everything begins to change.   Who is Todd?
