004 When Things Don't Go as Planned

On today's episode, Jacquie shares a story.  It's a narrative that will be familiar to many of us, and forces us to examine the question, "What do we do when things don't go as planned, particularly when our kids start school?"

Her journey and decisions may not look exactly like yours, but listening to her struggle, her testimony and the insight she has around a parent or caregiver's role in their child's education is both challenging  and inspiring.
