- Hi, I'm Helena, and I have an amazing husband, Andrew,
and a wonderful daughter, Leah.
Leah is very loving and caring.
There's such a range of emotions that I think children go through
and that I know Leah must go through during the day,
so we try to provide an environment for her
where she can express those feelings back to us
in a safe place.
Before we go to sleep, we always ask her,
"Is there anything that you wanna talk about?"
How was your day today? - Sad.
- Why was it sad?
- Because someone older than me...
- Helena: And we make sure that she understands
that there's no judgment and it's a safe zone.
It's a safe place that she can feel comfortable
sharing whatever she wants to share,
and we always end it with some form of love,
some form of like, saying even "Thank you" for where we are.
And once you have that hug, you're calm,
you're comfortable, and you'll fall asleep.
It continuously helps her grow.
She's learning that she can come to her parents
at any time, for anything.
[Leah laughing] - Where are you?
I'm calling... - Helena: And along with that,
she's learning compassion, kindness,
how to communicate with others.
This is not only helping her at home,
but it's helping her in school, especially with her class work,
with her teachers, and of course, all her friends.
