We all want the healthy, athletic, smart, successful boy or girl. But children are not "made-to-order" and don't come with substitution options. The disappointment of not getting the child you wanted is very real but also very taboo.
In this episode, Danielle covers how to adjust your parenting for the child you have, not the child you hoped for and 5 ways to deal with that disappointment.
You can get a copy of Danielle's "Parenting with Gratitude: Finding Your Smile Through It All" journal and her "My Happy Days" journal for children on Amazon. They are available in English, French, and Spanish.
