Parenting children with special needs
Help with parenting that goes above and beyond
Parenting a child with special needs calls parents to give of themselves to an extent that other parents could never imagine. Yet it’s not without great joy. It’s a challenge parents rise to, their love overflowing to fill in the gaps, to counter each child’s losses. Still, the unknowns are difficult. Very often, parents of children with special needs have to write their own parenting playbook as they go along, wondering, What's next? What do I do now? If you have a child with special needs, we hope you find encouragement in the thoughts and insights from other parents that are shared here....
