"You don't want to be like, 'My kid knows everything in second grade. Why am I putting him in there?'"

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with Kim Jones for Part 2 of a 2-part chat (Listen to Part 1 Here!). I love the way that Kim is open and honest about how she's had to change the way she views ND kids over the last 20 years. Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-Doing the deep work and discovering patience
-Learning flexibility
-Meeting the asynchronous needs of a 2E kid
-Getting on your kid's level

Please shower Kim with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story!
