In this episode I’m joined by Debbie Cullinane to discuss the power of your child's peer relationships. Debbie is is a qualified child and adolescent psychotherapist and play therapist, mother of 2 and former primary school teacher.Together with Dr. Mairead Brennan  She facilitates our parent workshops. No matter what age the child is, interacting with their peers can be tricky during/after treatment. We talk about feeling disconnected, exclude or even  bullied and are there strategies to deal with it. Debbie helps us understand  why peer relationships can be challenging and what makes them even more challenging during/after childhood cancer?  And as parents how do we strike the balance between being supportive and too involved.
