On The Hard Days

"I had to stop being defensive, and take ownership or responsibility that I wasn't paying attention to what was important..."

About This Episode: It's Father Friday!!!  I had a great conversation with Dad Sean and I just loved what he had to say about raising a neurodivergent child. Here are just some of the things we discussed:

-How Covid impacted the struggles of an ND kid
-"Making the switch" to full acceptance and understanding
-Undoing the "male narrative" and the way we were raised
-Being open to being "called out" by your spouse
-How to prioritize your day to day life - what comes first?
-What is the definition of fatherhood?
-How his son cheered when he found out he had ADHD
-How to tag-team with your partner
-It's not being "difficult" - it's being assertive
