"When your child cries at night, do you pick him up?"

Dr. George Lakoff, cognitive science professor emeritus, UC Berkeley, partnered with a political science professor and psychologist on behalf of the National Science Foundation. They wanted a single question that researchers could use to determine whether someone was progressive or conservative, the answer to which would give away a person's political identity. Progressives answer yes, because their core value in life is empathy for and responsibility to those for whom they care.

"When you connect to the heart of a child, anything is possible." Dr. Karyn Purvis

"TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection."
