Frances was inspired to write this workbook on the journey to because she didn’t believe all parents of children with special needs could connect with the available resources that focused on improving their well-being.
Many parenting books focus on a mother’s perspective, often include religious themes, or offer general advice for supporting children. But what about dads or parents who prefer a non-religious approach? Today’s parents need more than stories—they need practical tools. They deserve a comprehensive resource that empowers them to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Instead of reading about someone else’s path, parents need a personalized parenting plan that helps them build their unique journey with confidence and clarity.
