From Andi:

Remember those moments when your child was yelling in your face in public? Or having a panic attack? Or clinging to your side at a birthday party (if you even managed to get them out the front door)?

I’ve been there too.

I know what it’s like to stay at events and activities long after other parents have left, just in case my son had an outburst.

I’ve felt that loneliness, wondering how to help my child, feeling like every other kid had it together except mine.

Here’s the thing—you’re not alone.

There are so many kids out there just like our little firecrackers, and just as many parents feeling exactly the way we do.

My hope is that by sharing my story, experience and training through the years that you’ll gain the tools you need to understand your child’s needs and help them sooner than I did with a lot less mistakes.
