"I'm not accepting complaints at this time."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Anna. I love the way she sets boundaries around those who work with her child AND her child as well. Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-How society doesn't view behavior struggles as a disability
-Constantly planning and strategizing to make smooth and happy moments
-Creating boundaries around what the school should report to her
-Setting boundaries with her child
-Raising children of a different race and what society thinks
-The goal is "happy, healthy, and independent"

Please shower Anna with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story.
