Parent Stories – Your Story.
As you know, I’ve begun a new feature on Special Parents Confidential, which I call Parent Stories. When I first began doing this podcast, one of my goals was to share experiences that parents have in dealing with their kids with special needs. I believe that hearing what other parents are going through can be a big help because it’s very easy to become so focused on just our kids special needs that we start to think we’re completely alone in these situations. I also believe that hearing from parents who have been through this before us, gives us a chance to learn from their experiences.
So far I’ve done two episodes from two women I know in my own neighborhood, who talked about their experiences with their kids, and I’ve got a couple more I’m working on, but I would like to do much more. I’d like to have interviews with Dads too, and not just parents of autistic kids, but all special needs.
I would also like to hear from some of our international listeners. We get a lot of downloads in Japan, Germany, Australia, Canada, UK, UAE, Brazil, India, and many other countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. What are your stories? What are the challenges you as a parent of a special needs child deal with where you are?
If you’re interested in sharing your story then get in touch with me by using the form on the Contact Us page of this website. Please include your name and your email and some information on who you are and what your child’s story is about, and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
Far too often we hear so-called “experts” – who have no personal experience or knowledge – talking about what our kids need. It’s time we tell our own stories. It’s time for us to start telling the world about who are and what we go through to help our kids. I want to make that happen, and I’d love to have you join me in doing it.
