Embracing Every Day: 40 Meaningful Musings for Parents on Their Special Needs Journey

Life moves quickly, whether we want it to or not. Sometimes entire weeks or months go by in the blink of an eye before we even have a chance to catch our breath. As the speed at which society operates continues to increase, so must our commitment to taking time to pause and engage in meaningful reflections of our daily lives.

For parents of children with special needs, like me, there are many times when I stop at the end of the day and have no clue what went right and what could have gone better. We spend so much time trying to make sure that our child's day proceeds seamlessly, that often times we forget to stop and reflect on what means the most: our family's collective happiness.

This book serves as a guide to help those wishing to practice self-reflection on a nightly basis, but struggle to fit it into their hectic day-to-day schedules. It features 40 unique prompts, catered to parents of children with special needs, that will spark musings about the day's events, emotions felt, and future actions. Use these questions to guide your nightly reflections and take an important step towards improving your mental and emotional health, and help foster positive and loving relationships with the most important people in your life.
