Boy oh boy, do I see the difference between kids who has at least ONE healthy parental relationship and the ones with less than that. Depending on the environment and the situation, both may run into A LOT of social stumbles. But the kids with the positive model and the safe space inside their own heads calm down so much faster in a safe space and switch to thinking/self-soothing/listening/empathizing so much more easily. The (rare, in my job) kids who have two or more healthy nurturing adults who aren't chronically short of money, food, space, time, energy, skills/resources to address problems, etc ... my god the difference. The privilege of having a decent childhood is huge, and that sucks, because it should be expected that we treat that as a RIGHT.
