215 Suzanne Culberg: Downplayed and Dismissed? Seeking Help For Your Child

Hey Friends~

You know in your gut when things are not going right, even if you don’t have the words.

It’s even harder when you tell someone, but you are told that everything is fine… but you know SOMETHING IS UP.

This is the case for today’s guest. She knew that her son needed more help in his sound development, but was constantly told everything was fine.

Started seeking help when her son was 18 months old, asking doctors, friends, family members, and more and finally… when her son was 4, the school teacher called out the same concerns that mom knew all along. She was validated and felt such relief. Now, she was empowered, having a direction to go for help!

If this is you, you know this is so frustrating! Hang on for today’s story!

And, if this is you, then you need a person who knows how to ask the questions, who knows how to probe what is actually happening with your child. Talk to me! I can help. And, whether or not we are a fit to work together, you will leave the conversation with a clearer understanding of what is going on, how to talk about it, and a next step. This is one way I help parents.
