Maycember  is a term used to describe the hustle and bustle of the end of the school year that seems as full, if not more full of things, as the month of December. End of the year testing, last games, awards banquets, graduations (starting at the age of  Kindergarten graduations! When did that become a thing?) The gifts, the cards, the gatherings. Whew! It is a busy time of year! We took a little break for all those life things and now we are back! 
 
Listen along as Beth talks about her experience stepping into patient role with advocacy as the guest speaker for the National Scleroderma Foundation "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" 5K walk. 

In this busy time, one way to recenter to take care of our needs and the needs of our kids and families is, what do we REALLY NEED? 

This episode is framed around a child's (and all of our) four basic needs:

1. To FEEL loved, not just BE loved. 

2. To be IMPORTANT to someone.

3. To be GOOD at something.

4. To BELONG to a group of others.
