“How do I build trust with a child who’s learned not to trust adults?” “What is my child’s behavior trying to communicate?” “Am I seeing my child’s pain and fear, or just their actions?” — Parenting is hard, parenting foster youth is even harder. Sometimes it feels like they just won’t trust you, that they block you out and don’t listen to what you say. Sometimes they’re even creating roadblocks for themselves. So, as parents, how can we get past this and change the courses of our children’s lives, and our relationships with them? Today, Sophia Mills sits down with Michael Williams, founder of the SMART DREAMS Movement and CEO of the DASH Foundation. He shares with us his experience with vulnerable youth, explains how setting SMART goals helps set them up for the future, and teaches how parents can improve their relationships with their children so that they can grow, flourish, and learn to trust kids. Tune in today to gain countless valuable insights, great tips, and helpful information!
