    Thank you so much or sharing your story! Everyday I am so happy my 2-year old girl is healrhy and vivid, even though sometimes too restless and too vivid, like a squirrel. Yet, she is perfect, makes us proud und humbly grateful to have her the way she is 😍

    It’s a miracle what money can buy for a very select group of lottery winners who have managed to capitalize on the combined efforts of the masses.

    the first step to helping a child who needs additional support is acceptance from the parents about the child’s needs.. unfortunately I encountered many parents who just hope the child would get better as they get older and then start to panic later on… early intervention is so important!
