Episode 1: Developing Potential
 

Teaching children these core strengths gives them a gift they will use throughout their lifetimes.

Episode 2: Attachment: The Template for Future Relationships
 

Healthy attachments allow a child to love, to become a good friend, and to have a positive and useful model for future relationships.

Episode 3: Self-Regulation: The Capacity to Regulate Internally
 

Developing and maintaining the ability to notice and control primary urges such as hunger and sleep—as well as feelings of frustration, anger, and fear—is a lifelong process.

Episode 4: Affiliation: Joining In
 

An absence of stimulation and chaotic stimulation are both responsible for promoting an absence of experience that contributes to disruptive childhood development. Dr. Perry presents new and dynamic.

Episode 5: Attunement: Thinking of Others
 

Awareness is the ability to recognize the needs, interests, strengths, and values of others. Infants begin life self-absorbed and slowly develop awareness - the ability to see beyond themselves and to sense and categorize the other people in their world.

Episode 6: Tolerance: Accepting Differences
 

Tolerance is the capacity to understand and accept how others are different from you. This can be a challenge because children tend to affiliate based on similarities—in age, interests, families, or cultures.

Episode 7: Respect: Respecting Yourself and Others
 

An aware, tolerant child with good affiliation, attachment, and self-regulation strengths gains respect naturally. The development of respect is a lifelong process, yet its roots are in early childhood.
