Deep Dive: For Parents of Kids with Health and Developmental Problems

Of all life’s many challenges, having a child with serious health or developmental issues is among the worst. Parents can be consumed with worry, fear and a sense of dread. On top of that, social beings naturally compare themselves to others… mothers are always gauging their own children’s successes or failures against the kids of friends and family. When your child is not able to grow and learn like others, it’s heartbreaking.
