Michelle has three children and lives in Cleveland.

What do you do to relax?

Play games on my phone.

What else would you like to tell us about yourself?

I had my daughter later in life, and the struggle is real.

What benefits has Connecting for Kids brought to you and your family?

The newsletters are a wealth of knowledge, and I’ve learned about other resources just from these email newsletters.

Which have been your favorite Connecting for Kids resources?

These emails with things I would never know otherwise.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself the day we got the diagnosis, I would say...

I would tell myself, enjoy this pregnancy and take life as it comes when she is born. It will never be as bad as what your mind tells you it will be.

What I worry about most…

What I worry about the most is what will happen to my daughter when my time on earth comes to an end.

The best thing about parenting a child who struggles is...

Oh my!!! The fierce determination my child has when it’s something she wants to do and hasn’t yet mastered. She is the greatest problem solver I have ever seen in action.

Is there anything else about your journey that you would like to share with other parents?

Navigating all the resources and figuring out which ones work best for me has been a struggle.
