"I feel like I want to make t-shirts that say, 'Don't poke the bear'."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Molly. I loved this whole conversation and found it so relatable. I think you will too! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-When you have a gifted, highly emotional child
-Understanding where the anger your child has comes from
-Dealing with feelings of confusion and envy of other moms' lives
-What her child needs as someone who is 2E
-Trying to figure out the best type of education for a gifted child
