This episode is a long time coming.
In almost 5 years of podcasting, I’ve never had a guest on the show to specifically encourage moms with kids who have special needs.
Today I welcome to the show my friend Cara Dyck. She is a homeschooling mom to four young boys with a variety of special needs. In today’s conversation, we pretend that you are sitting with us for coffee and Cara is here to encourage you.
You guys…Cara is the real deal. She’s a mom, just like you, living in the trenches of the daily stuff. And yet, she’s overflowing with wisdom and peace.
If you have a child with ADHD, a spectrum disorder, a processing disorder, a learning difference, or a child who is medically fragile, this episode is for you.
Cara’s encouragement includes
God will give you the grace you need
God is still the same as He was pre-diagnosis
Turn your fears into prayers
Stay close to the Shepherd
Examine what social media may be doing to your heart
What to do when you’re receiving criticism for your child’s behavior
