A “Fearless” Voice

I am in the November 12 Huffington Post. You can read the piece here.

Before my son was diagnosed, his Mom and I took him to a neurologist. After a battery of tests, his advice was, “Just love him.”

We felt betrayed that the doctor had no answers, and while I know that I cannot leave any stone unturned when it comes to my son, the first and most necessary treatment is to just love him. I’m leaving work now… to have a tickle fight with my son.

Fantastic blog – fantastic article.

Sometimes I feel as if my parenting is wrong or ineffective because it is so hard to know waht they are thinking. Thank you for this article. I am going to trust my instincts.
BTW..I grew up in Brookline and the schools were excellent a long long time ago too!
