If You Could Tell A New Parent One Thing...
What would it be?

Join the conversation on Reddit
Every parent’s journey is unique, but those first few weeks or months after a child’s diagnosis can feel like standing in the dark, trying to find a light switch.
If you’ve been there, even for a little while, you know how powerful it can be to hear from someone who gets it.
That’s why this week, we’re opening up a real conversation on Reddit:
👉 “What’s one piece of advice you’d give to a new parent navigating a recent child’s diagnosis?”
Maybe your advice is practical — figuring out care, school, doctors, or finances.
Maybe it’s emotional — about patience, hope, or just getting through tough days.
Whatever it is, your words could be exactly what another parent needs to read right now.
Let’s help someone feel a little less alone.
Thank you for letting me step into your week for a few minutes. I don’t take it lightly.
Kind Regards,

Kind Regards,
