How to Save your Marriage? - Kim Rose Wilbanks

"I would like to discuss how this alternative way of dealing with my children saved my marriage and saved my relationship with my kids. The success is what made me passionate to help other moms and caregivers. I felt very alone and full of shame because of the way my kids were/are and I want to help other Moms to know they are not alone and it's not their fault." My name is Kim, I'm a wife and a mom of 3. My oldest son is an overachiever kid and easygoing, he made me believe I was a pretty perfect Mom and then I had baby #2! My middle son is on the autism spectrum and my youngest, a girl, we adopted from Hungary. She has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder. From the time my middle child was 14 months old, he has had severe and challenging behaviors. We found out quickly the traditional way of parenting only made things worse for him. At about age 9, we started trying an alternative way, a collaborative method and it worked so well, I have written my own curriculum and am now passionate to support and coach other moms who need help as I did. My kids are 18, 19, and 23 currently.   Are you still in shock that you are a parent of a special needs child?This show is for parents who are morning the loss of the life and child they thought they would have.
