Caring for kids during Covid-19

by Amy Makice | Mar 30, 2020 | Parenting, Relational-Cultural Theory, Thoughts

This isn’t the time to implement your dream of recreating Little House on the Prairie, unless that comes easily to you and helps all of you feel better. Reassess frequently, and if what you’re doing is creating more power struggles, don’t be afraid to toss it and start over.

Contagion

Our Mission

At BCC, our mission is simple: We make the world a better place.

Guided by the principles of Relational-Cultural Theory, we believe healing happens in connection, that growth is a relational process, and that play is essential for resilience and joy.

RCT and Gender

Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) supports and promotes gender-affirming care as essential to fostering authentic connections and well-being. RCT emphasizes the importance of empathy, mutuality, and empowerment in growth-fostering relationships, making it inherently supportive of all gender identities.
