    Episode 3 - What is 'normal' childhood development?
    May 9 2023
    The question, “What is normal?” comes up A LOT when talking about kids and development. More often than not, the parent knows best; so parents will push for a second or third opinion. We sit down with Dr. James Collins and Dr. Karen Ratliff-Schaub both from the Prisma Healthcare System in South Carolina. We dig into the new standards for normative development and how to validate the feelings of caregivers in these situations.

    Welcome to Raising Relationships by SCIMHA!
    Apr 12 2023
    Welcome to Raising Relationships. Like you, we know the realities facing early childhood educators, administrators, families and children. And let's be honest, being in this world as an educator, admin or parent or child, it's not always easy. Many people just don't understand the pressures, the heavy weight of responsibility or situations we come up against daily in child care and education centers across the state of South Carolina. This show aims to open up that dialogue and offer support and encouragement.
