“You are going to be the only one that knows what is right for you and your family.” 

 

“They communicate way before they are verbal.” 

 

“We can’t fix everything for our kids, we can’t protect them from everything but we can let them know they are not alone and we are there for them through it.” 

 

“What we know is that there is a ton of change on the horizon, what we crave is the ability to control it.”

 

“Dial down what is in your ability to change and what is not. If it’s not surrender.”

 

“In most cases your child will figure out how to eat and survive, there are very few cases where they don’t.”

 

“They are who they are, and you get a little piece of that.”
