46 minutes

"I'm there. I'm there with you. I'm struggling with the same thing."

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

-When your ND child is medically fragile (heart-related)
-When you don't know what "typical" looks like
-Setting goals and expectations - but in a different way than you expected
-Putting one foot in front of the other and staying positive.
