  • Amazing Resource

    Sometimes parenting resources make us feel worse about ourselves as parents, but NOT THIS ONE. Lots of practical tools that have allowed me to connect with both my nuerodiverse child and my neurotypical child in ways we all feel good about.

  • Compassionate guidance from a parent and therapist who gets it!

    Dr. Froyen understands how parenting stretches and challenges us, while helping us see how much harder the challenging moments are for our kids. I especially appreciated the recent episode on sharing emotional labor with our partners.
