An uplifting and informative podcast for all parents, not just parents of special needs children.
Parenting an exceptional needs child is all the relentlessness of parenting, turned up to "11." How great, then, to find support and perspective for *the parent*... It's like having a weekly phone call with your smart, funny friend -- the one who always roots for you (without having to muster any conversation from your exhausted end). Uplifting, informative. It's a must listen.
Mark’s podcast has helped me so much! He has helped me be more mindful, positive and patient with my son who is on the spectrum. I love all the advice he talks about in each episode and what to do in different situations that can be overwhelming for the child. I highly recommend this podcast for every parent!!
