This week our house has been germ central which reminded us just how hard it is to juggle work while trying to mind a sick child. Heartfelt hugs going out to all the parents who found themselves juggling that nightmare this week. As always we have three very different anonymous emailers bravely looking for guidance on three very different kid scenarios.

Question 1- 

Our first question is actually about how applicable general advice is to neurodiverse kids. A mom gets in touch to ask whether general parenting tips can be applied to every child, especially kids with additional needs. 

Question 2. 

An exhausted mum reaches out for help with the terrible tantrums of her two year old. The constant whining and crying is driving her round the twist. How can she make it stop? How can she get her house to be a happy home again? 

Question 3- 

Definitely our toughest question yet. A worried parent gets in touch about her very young daughter’s anxiety issues. With behaviours ranging from school refusal to full blown panic attacks, this mum definitely needs help. Where can she get it though? How can we help her while she waits for the services she requires to access the care ahead of she needs.
