  • Welcome to Episode 13 of Melting Mummas!

    This week we continue on our chat with out last guest Tash, who speaks about her son and in detail about his temperament and nature as a young boy. Tash explains how she noticed differences in her sons behaviour apart from other children from a very young age and how his more sensitive nature has changed her approach in parenting and as a person in general. This chat was beautiful in normalising behavioural differences outside what may be considered 'standard' and how this doesn't always mean something is wrong - especially at such a young age. Although this chat is by no means providing medical advice, we do hope it provides solidarity to any parents in a similar position or anyone curious about the topic in general!
