Parenting is never an easy job. It is even tougher when you are raising children with unique needs. Today at Learning Curve, we are going to talk about the world of special needs parenting and exploring the challenges that parents face while raising children with unique needs. My special guest for today is Carinne Mossa. She is a mother of 2 children,  one of whom has a rare seizure disorder called Dravet (DRA-VE) Syndrome, as well as global developmental delays and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She will present her experience of parenting a child with special needs, as well as the instruments and strategies she's been using during this remarkable journey.Raising children, where uncertainty prevails over every decision that we make, can feel like an isolated way of life. We're constantly asking ourselves, "Are we doing it right or wrong?"Sometimes, however, we will encounter many obstacles that need us to be strong enough in order to create a safe environment for ourselves and our children.I hope this episode encourage all parents of special needs children to embrace their role with strength and resilience. Don’t forget that in this journey, you are not never alone. Take charge of your life, seek help and I think you will be able to create a nurturing and loving environment that's going to allow both mother and child to thrive.You can find out more about her at:https://www.ittakesavillagenc.com/Make sure you hit subscribe if you haven’t already.
