Raising a child with Type 1 Diabetes means constantly walking a line between teaching responsibility and protecting childhood. Our kids are asked to carry things far bigger than their years, from managing numbers and devices to navigating emotions most adults struggle with. In this episode, we talk about the quiet weight placed on small shoulders, how early responsibility can shape identity, and where we may need to step in so our kids can still just be kids. This is a conversation about balance, compassion, and learning how to hold the weight with them instead of handing it over too soon.
