Navigating the Public: When People Don't Understand Your Child

Send us Fan MailHey y’all! Welcome back to Holy Ground Parenting.Have you ever had a moment in public where your child did something unexpected and suddenly you felt like everyone around you was watching?For parents raising children with special needs, those moments can happen more often than we’d like. And sometimes the hardest part isn’t what our child did — it’s how other people respond.In this episode, I share a real moment Evie and I experienced with a stranger that left me feeling protective, frustrated, and later… a little disappointed in myself. We talk about the pressure special needs parents often feel to explain our children to the world, and how we can extend grace to ourselves when those moments don’t go the way we wish they had. Our anchor scripture this week is 1 Samuel 16:7.If you’ve ever walked away from a hard interaction wishing you had handled it differently, this episode is for you.And as always, we’ll remind ourselves of a comforting truth: even when people don’t understand our children, God does.Support the showPlease join our Facebook group where I’ll share new episodes! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17rnZH959w/?mibextid=wwXIfr
