Your Perfect Kid
April 29, 2008 by MCA
Mom Matters is celebrating their one-year anniversary this Mother’s Day by rolling out five new episodes of Mom Matters. The episodes, which were filmed at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) cover various topics. One is ” Shut Up About… Your Perfect Kid”
So your child would rather catch real flies than be a star on the baseball field? What’s the big deal?
Gina Gallagher and Patty Konjoian, mothers of daughters with disabilities, sisters, and authors of a new book, Shut Up About… Your Perfect Kid, join us to discuss the joys, challenges, and absurdities of raising “imperfect” children in a “perfect” world. With bumper magnets like “My Bipolar Kid Loves Me AND Hates Me,” they’re creating a movement of “imperfection” and inviting parents of disabled and other “imperfect” kids to come out of their messy closets and celebrate differences.
