Puzzled Parent & Then Some Puzzled Parent Plus

Today I speak pretty candidly about being compassionate. In fact, at about the 13 minute mark, I cut the feed and piece together the end of the segment because I started going overboard. Showing compassion for those who are different is something we can all do better. Showing compassion in general should come natural but somehow it doesn’t to some. That’s an issue we can all work on. I also discuss family & friends; how to get them more involved with your kids.

Today I’m discussing two topics. In the first part of the segment, I discuss trying to make things come together in our community such as day programs or summer programs. In the second half of the segment, I get emotional discussing communicating with local police to educate yourself on their procedures in dealing with people with cognitive disabilities & educating them on how to handle our kids who may not be compliant or even understand. I also discuss how taking on one single task for the community can make more of a difference than you can ever know. One for all.

Today I take you to Grand Cayman for a moment of escape but then quickly we return to reality and discuss how to handle phone calls from the school about behavioral issues. I also discuss what to do to get a BIP in place. Email me at averymichaelsbooks@gmail.com with questions.

The first 18 minutes of this segment is about how we prepare to travel having a special needs child even though he’s not going with us. After that, I dip my toes into the controversial topic of vaccinations & autism.

In this segment I get very real about my experiences with the world and how it’s not built to accommodate our kids. I also talk about trust and just when you think I’ve lost my mind, I think I manage to pull it together. Thanks for listening.

In this segment, I discuss CBD oil in detail and medical marijuana. I discuss the pros & cons of CBD while my dog makes noises chewing on her bone thus distracting me. Enjoy. Please email me your thoughts on CBD and how it’s positively or negatively impacted your family at averymichaelsbooks@gmail.com. Thanks!
