Birthday Parade!

With his daughter's birthday around the corner, James Guttman looks at the influx of birthday parades during the coronavirus pandemic - the good, the bad, and the annoying. Plus, the yearly tradition he does each year for her birthday, the woes of being a kid with a summer birthday, and more. Also, JG goes in-depth on his blogs from the week about mental illness, the stigma that surrounds it, the surprising place where he first realized how misunderstood it often is, and what we should all do to support each other. Plus, how to teach a non-verbal child with autism about danger. (Spoiler Alert: It's tough!)- Like Hi Pod! I'm Dad on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiPodImDad/- Hi Blog!
