Holiday Mini 2: Gift Giving Grief for Disability Parents w/ Amanda Griffith-Atkins
Manage episode 455181994 series 3248851
Holidays are supposed to be full of joy, right? But for disability parents, gift-giving can bring a whole mix of feelings: grief, frustration, and why did they buy this moments. Instead of magic, we’re juggling unconventional (or maybe not age-appropriate) toys for our kids, therapy equipment wrapped in bows, and family members who just don’t get it.
In this episode, I’m replaying part of Ep 108 with Amanda Griffith-Atkins where we talk about the challenges of shopping for our disabled kids and managing those tricky expectations. We're diving into the heartbreak of gifts that miss the mark and the joy of gifts that actually make your kid light up (think Elmo toys and shiny balloons).
If the holidays bring up all the complicated feels, this one’s for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
