Designed for caregivers of special children, this humorous, heartwarming 90-minute workshop is based on their best selling book. Using hilarious anecdotes and fun exercises (no Spandex required), the sisters will show attendees how to let go of the expectations they have for their children and embrace the reality.
- Does the school principal have your family’s phone number on speed dial?
- Are you on a first-name basis with your pharmacist?
- Do you carry noise cancelling headphones in your purse?
- Do you host parades when your child tries a new food?
- Does “date night” with your spouse consist of couple’s therapy?
- Does your idea of a “beauty day” consist of one in which you’ve combed your hair?”
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right imperfect place.
