RAISING YOUNG CHILDREN WHEN YOU HAVE MS: with Julie Stamm, Author, MS Advocate, Mother
This episode welcomes Julie Stamm, author, MS advocate, and proud mom of Jack to the podcast.
Julie, who wrote the recently-released book, Some Days, A Tale of Love, Ice Cream and My Mom's Chronic Illness, shares with us her insight on raising a young child while having MS.
Her thought-provoking book, written from a child's perspective, proves that through a child's eyes, things may not be exactly as they seem, and the pressure you may be putting on yourself to perform for your child is likely an unrealistic, self-imposed expectation.
We hope you walk away from this episode with an enlightened feeling of relief, knowing that in the end, all your child needs is your time and your love.
