Parenting neurotypical kids

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2076680/open_sms] Parenting is a full time job. Any parent will tell you about how challenging it can be. They will also tell you about how rewarding it is and how much they love the quality time they spend with their little ones.  Sadly, the rewarding moments are few and far between for some parents whose children have additional needs and challenging behaviour.  Did you know that up to 98% of children suffer from neurotypical disorder? In todays episode we discuss the struggles that parents of NT children face and I give some advice on how to manage difficult and embarrassing situations that will inevitably and frequently arise when your child is neutotypical. It’s time we all recognise the sacrifices made by the parents of NT children. The parents are the true victims of this disease and they selflessly give up all happiness in their own lives so that they can focus on managing their children. With so much devotion from their parents, perhaps one day their NT children will be able to pretend to be normal. And that’s what truely matters.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2076680/support]
