The “Consult a Counselor Series” is a segment of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, which answers parenting related questions to help caregivers live life mindfully.
Today’s question is: "My son is an only child and is awful at communicating. He doesn’t make eye contact with others, he doesn’t know how to initiate play or conversation with other kids, and just doesn’t know how to socialize. What can I do to help?”
