Coddling or cooperating?

Coddling or cooperating?

by Amy Makice | Sep 3, 2014 | Parenting

Some kids do fine with broad choices, but all children need to learn to make decisions on their own, and the safest place to do that is with you.

Coming Home: Strategies for a calm re-entry

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.
