I’m going to embrace this spoon therapy in 2025. No more crash and burn!

‘Living my good life involves …’
Totally stealing that line for when I do my sons. What a positive job ad! What a cool job! 🏃🏽 🏊🏻‍♀️ 🏔️

‘found that parent blame was not in the heads of families, but was built into the systems activated when parents sought support to enable their disabled children to live a good life.’

I remember them from Twitter a few years ago. Can you please say I’m thinking of them too and that Laura isn’t forgotten. Thanks George x
