Heart-Stopping Moments |S2 | E6 The Skies We’re Under

    • Parenting

Rachel is joined by Marian Boothroyd-Selby, Director of Development at Certitude (an adult social care provider) and the parent of three boys who have a remarkable array of complexities and awesomeness - autistism, Down Syndrome, rare and life-threatening heart condition and worse of all, for one son – being just like his mum. 

In this brilliant conversation we touch on tough topics such as: 

Adjusting to being the parent of a child with Down Syndrome and how it can be more about us adjusting to the system than the baby. 
Do not resuscitate orders. 
Your child needing CPR and learning how to live in every day. 
How you can have all the right qualifications as a professional and still miss things as a parent.
