Parenting through a pandemic is challenging to say the least. In this episode, Dr Billy Garvey shares evidence based insights on how to ease the pressure of parenting through the Covid-19 pandemic and the uncertainty that surrounds it. We lean on Sigourney Weaver's masterful performance as Ripley in 'Aliens'(1986) to give context to Billy's advice. We discuss Ripley's approach to building a bond and supporting a traumatised Newt.
