Parenthood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you’d have. It’s about understanding your child is exactly the person they are supposed to be. And, if you’re lucky, they might be the teacher who turns you into the person you’re supposed to be. ~The Water Giver
Mi familia vive cualidades neurodiversas
La paternidad se trata de criar y celebrar al hijo que tienes, no al hijo que pensabas tener. Se trata de comprender que su hijo es exactamente la persona que se supone que debe ser. Y, si tienes suerte, puede que sea el profesor que te convierta en la persona que se supone que debes ser. ~The Water Giver
