Childhood Disorder or Lack of Interest?

See It Through
All of our children have gone through times in their in life where their needs were outside of the range of what our culture would see as “normal” for a parent to support. For example, Ivy nursed until she was almost six years old. Tiffany would not let us brush her hair, as he scalp was […]
