About This Episode: It's Father Friday!!! Dad David was super vulnerable in describing what he's learned about raising neurodivergent kids AND about himself in the process - and through the perspective of a male, of course. Here are just some of the things we discussed:

-Raising adopted neurodivergent children
-What it's like to have 6 kids!
-How to parent kids with hidden disabilities
-Parenting against the way you were parented
-Being willing to accept your own failures and vulnerabilities
-"I don't have it all together. I don't have all the answers"
-The importance of men discussing mental  health struggles
-Getting involved in your kids' interests and strengths
-Kids are a mirror into our own struggles
-Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria as a DAD
-patience, humility, self-realization - and why they're important
