In this episode, we talk about the big picture when it comes to parenting decisions with regards to our child's health.
We have to start with the end in mind. When your child is 18 if life looks like ____ then you won at parenting. For you, for your child, for the outcomes predicted for your child... what is in that blank?
For me, there are two factors at play here in this particular conversation. First, let's talk about social...

A Proactive Approach to Wellness Pt. 1
9/25/2019
This is part 1 of a 3 part series about making proactive choices in health care. Whether you have a special needs child or not I think this is a really thought provoking conversation on health, medicine, and health care. Sometimes we get so caught in the routine of do this do that from our medical team that we lose sight of the big picture. In these series my goal is to help you look at health from a big picture.
As this series does discuss vaccines and I know this is an emotional hot topic...
