My kids are 4 and 5, just the age where they are really starting to navigate friendships on their own. Despite their limitations (Lucy’s hearing loss and Isaac’s difficulty with social cues), they do very well, […]

This is awesome. Sounds like you’re really providing what she needs, even though it took her a while to see it. I’m so glad for both of you.

I’m sorry, Rob. You made a choice that any parent might have made. It’s not possible to guard against every inevitability and you went with a choice that looked like it made sense. Most of the time when we make […]
