The Problem
Parenting is hard. Because we care so deeply for our children, as parents we want things to be perfect. As a parent, you want things to go as planned. You want to be prepared for every developmental change and anticipate your child’s needs to properly support them.
But parenting is even harder when things do not follow a typical trajectory.
While every parent hopes for a healthy child, the reality is that children face many common challenges, including medical issues like ADHD, asthma, food allergies, feeding issues, learning disabilities, anxiety and depression, and developmental delays, throughout their formative years.
As the role of a parent becomes one of a caregiver, it can be overwhelming for parents and children alike, particularly if money, time, access, or any combination of those are in short supply.
