Summary

Do you find it hard or feel guilty to admit it can be hard to be the parent of a child with additional needs sometimes?  Do you find comfort in hearing other parents open and honest accounts of their experiences? We speak with Sarah Roberts - mum of 3, author, public speaker, counsellor in training and award winning writer of the blog "Don't Be Sorry."  Having found out postnatally that her eldest son Oscar had Down Syndrome, she wanted to raise awareness about the condition but also give a very real and raw insight into both the challenges he faces, mixed with the beautiful life he leads. When Oscar was born, Sarah was told by the paediatrician who delivered the news that she was 'sorry.'  Everything about the experience and the way the diagnosis was spoken of, was filled with sadness.  Much of Sarah's efforts go into reaching audiences across the globe, that there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about. We talk about Sarah's life since becoming a mum, her first book (which reached number 11 on the UK amazon best sellers list) her next book which is due out in August this year and much much more!
