Hello and welcome back to episode 17 of The diaries of a SEND parent
Today’s episode is a really special one as I welcome my very first SEND dad to the podcast.
Adam Parkinson is a teacher, one half of the hit podcast 2 Mr ps in a pod and a married dad to two beautiful children Isla who is 9 and Max who is 6
Adam opens up about his journey with youngest Max who has been diagnosed autistic, he talks about the challenges, and the deep love and joy that comes with raising a child with additional needs.
Adam brings honesty, humour, and heart reminding us that even on the toughest days, there is always something beautiful to hold onto.
This episode is a little reminder to adore your kids just as they are, and to focus on the positives, no matter how small. Because sometimes, the smallest wins mean the most.
So grab a cuppa, take a breath, and let’s dive into a powerful conversation that will lift your spirits and warm your heart.
