Hey there, fellow parents and book lovers! Jed Doherty is back
with another great episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast,
and this time he's got some truly inspiring guests to share.
First up, Jed welcomes Shirley Lopez, the author of the children's
picture book "Liz and the Heart Doctor." Shirley's daughter, Liz,
was born with Down syndrome, and Shirley's books are all about
celebrating Liz's journey and sharing her story in a positive,
relatable way.
Shirley opens up about the initial shock of Liz's diagnosis and the
challenges they faced, like Liz's open-heart surgery as a baby. But
through it all, Shirley sees Liz as a blessing, and she's dedicated
to making sure her daughter can achieve all that she can. Shirley's
other book, "Liz Trains Her Bike Ready Muscles," is all about the
everyday effort it takes to reach your goals, and it's a message
that's sure to inspire kids of all abilities.
Next, Jed chats with Danielle Lindner, the author of "The Parents
Pocket Guide to Surviving the Preschool Years." As the founder of a
preschool, Danielle has tons of experience helping parents navigate
those early childhood years, and she's got some super helpful tips
to share.
Danielle talks about the importance of parent-teacher partnerships,
and how showing gratitude to the amazing educators in our kids'
lives can make a big difference. She also dives into the challenges
of holiday stress, offering advice on how to keep things low-key
and enjoyable for the whole family.
Whether you're a parent of a child with special needs or just
looking for some fresh perspectives on raising little ones, this
episode is packed with heartwarming stories and practical wisdom.
So grab a cozy spot, hit play, and get ready to be inspired!
