Send us a text, we want to hear from you!

Discover the transformative power of Snyder's Hope Theory as it intertwines with the aspirations and resilience of children facing medical challenges. Ashlyn Thompson, joined by the compassionate child life specialist Kimberly Flood, unravels how setting realistic goals can fortify a young one's emotional landscape. Throughout our heartfelt discussions, we shed light on the delicate dance between parenting and advocating, all while fostering independence and self-esteem in our brave little warriors.
Taking a deep dive into the nuances of goal-setting, we connect with families from various walks of life, learning how they tailor their approach to celebrate each small triumph. Kim Flood brings invaluable insights from her practice, Bridge to Bravery, illustrating the profound impact of play in reaching developmental milestones and the art of being your child's unwavering champion. We don't just talk about challenges; we celebrate the joyous moments that bond siblings, ensuring every family member feels cherished despite the demands of medical care.
