Milner, Georgia — Claudia is a truck driver in Georgia. She is running transportation logistics here, far from her first rodeo on a movie set. She went on the union job earlier this fall not fully appreciating what she was in for. The movie, Possum Trot, is a true story about the foster care and adoption of black children who suffered unspeakable trauma in their young lives. Claudia knows that experience in her bones. At one point on the set, sharing about her personal story, she said we cannot be silent about the children in foster care who often have no voice, no advocate. She remembers being in that situation herself and being so skinny from malnutrition, not being given food to eat: “I could feel my bones. It’s a real thing.”

In this best of 2022 broadcast, Dr. Chapman helps parents understand their child’s primary and secondary love language to keep their son or daughter’s “love tank” filled and to strengthen the parent-child bond. Jean Daly joins the discussion to share personal examples from the Daly family. (Part 1 of 2)
