Today I'm talking with Jenni Eastin about raising children with learning challenges. We discuss everything from educational opportunities to managing our own expectations as mothers.

Whether your child has a learning challenge or not, Jenni has so much wisdom to share with all mothers as we choose to celebrate progress and not perfection. I hope you'll join us for our chat today.

In This Episode You'll Hear...

• The miracle of her family, particularly her two children
• How to navigate, as a mother, raising a child with learning challenge
• Advice when receiving any kind of diagnosis
• General things to look for if you're concerned and hoping for an early intervention
• How Jenni handled the news about her son and what she prayed for
• How to advocate for your child
• Tips on what to say - and not to say - to a parent of a child with learning challenge

My favorite recipes this week:

Here in the US we celebrated Thanksgiving last Thursday.

I made Sweet Potato Casserole and Greeen Bean Bundles and they were a huge hit. Either can be made for your Christmas dinner as well.

I also made a quick pot of soup last night because it was a frigid 40 something degrees here in Texas. Tortellini soup is fast, healthy and simple. And it does a great job of warming Texans on the verge of hypothermia. Here are those recipes. Enjoy!
