In this episode of Sustainable Parenting with Flora McCormick, we explore empathy and resilience in parenting through health challenges. Jonathan Stewart, a community leader and amazing dad, opens up about raising three kids while living with chronic illness.

After listening, you’ll discover:

• How chronic illness can affect both parenting and mental health.
• Gentle discipline and calm parenting tips that help you stay connected with your kids, even in hard seasons.
• Why open conversations about loss and grief build resilience and encourage raising confident kids.

Jonathan’s story shines a light on positive parenting strategies rooted in empathy, understanding, and strong family bonds. If you’re navigating similar challenges, you may also want to connect with EverGreen Adventures, the nonprofit Jonathan founded to support families impacted by chronic illness.
