- Anticipate conversations and developmental phases so your kids know they can approach you when need be, says Devika
- Devika: Root causes of certain diagnoses can be nutritional deficiencies or environmental toxins that manifest in certain behaviors
- It’s good for children to have different parenting styles as long as they don’t see a lot of unresolved conflict, says Devika
