This week we talk about advocating and fighting for your child (we've all been there), the many different factors that come into play, and how it's not always as simple and easy as it seems. Alongside our own experiences, we break down the six main 'negative' themes identified in the blog titled 'The how to advocate for your child one' by Penny from Sick Happens that parents have encountered when in hospital with their sick child. 

Disclaimer: the purpose of this episode is not to 'bag out' healthcare professionals or systems, but to give families a voice and shine a light on some of the ways that we struggle to advocate and feel heard when our child is unwell. 

Mentioned in this episode: - Sick Happens  https://www.sickhappens.com.au/blog/the-how-to-advocate-for-your-child-one - Hospital Paediatrics 2020 Study
