Sarah, Rachel and Lucy laugh, talk and rant a bit about parenting children with disabilities, in particular asking for and getting help. We confess to thinking none of us need it but actually acknowledging we all do. There is a confession of the pessary kind and if you do not laugh during this episode – you might need to be checked out by a doctor.
We cover:
Helpful help
Unhelpful help
The relationship between helping and being helped
And how asking for help isn’t weakness but true connection and the best part of human-ing
Research referenced from Disabled children’s partnership
