A Mediocre Mom's Guide to Raising an Awesome Kid with Down Syndrome

View Info

Parents of kids with disabilities often hold themselves to incredibly high standards. Come listen to fun (and funny) stories about how embracing our human flaws as parents can actually benefit our kids with Down syndrome. Learn how to wear your mediocre mom badge with pride by picking the things that matter most to you as a parent and working at that stuff ... while letting go of the things that don't matter so much. And even when you inevitably fail, try to give yourself grace. Then, you can start over, ask for help, or look closely and see if you need to adjust your expectations to be more realistic.
