EP10 | Parenting Neurodivergent Children: Your Best Is Enough | Andrea Reid
What does it really take to parent neurodivergent children in a system that isn't built for them? Daniel sits down with Andrea Reid, a mum of two, Toastmasters member and parent carer advocate, for an honest conversation about SEND, the fight for support, self-care and finding your people. As a fellow member of their Toastmasters club, Daniel was so moved by Andrea's speech that he knew he had to have her on the show. Here she shares what it's like behind the scenes: the early signs, the battle to get support in school, the pressure on relationships, and why connection and letting go of expectations make such a difference.
