For this week's Round 4, Amanda
chatted with her husband, Jon, our audio engineer and blogger
at My Happy SAHD Life,
to talk about the ... educational challenge of taking children with
special needs out in public. Do you enlighten that judgey lady on
the plane about the tic disorder that's making your kid kick her
seat? Do you wear T-shirts inviting people interested in why your
youngsters do what they do to look it up online? Do you
politely suggest that people mind their own beeswax, or
apologize afterwards for your child's alleged
disruptiveness? What you can't really do is hide your kid in a
closet, however much certain members of the public might like you
to. Amanda and Jon share their experiences, frustrations, and
strategies in a podcast that will have any parent of children who
get those looks in public nodding in agreement
and sympathy. And if you're not one of those parents -- maybe you
need to listen and think about how it feels?
