Raising Kids with Disabilities

No matter what level of your child’s disability, there is more stress in the family, it takes more energy, more time and more self education than raising a normal child—which is hard in itself. Add to that, the fact that instead of having a tag team, where the mom gets a break once in a while, while dad takes over—in general, single moms don’t have an adult in the home to give them a break when needed.

In this episode, we decided to focus on the heart of the matter—what kind of practical things you can do that might make your life easier at the same time building your child’s self esteem. The discussion is divided into three sections. How the disability affects the family, how it affects your child and how it affects you.
