About this listen

 Eliza Fricker gets it. Describing her perfectly imperfect experience of raising a PDA child, with societal judgements and family pressures, she knows how easy it is to feel overwhelmed, resentful and alone. The Family Experience of PDA's comedic illustrations explain these challenging situations and emotions in a way that words simply cannot, bringing some much-needed levity back into PDA parenting. Humorous anecdotes with a compassionate tone remind parents that they are not alone, and they're doing a great job. If children are safe, happy, and you leave the house on time, who cares about some smelly socks?
A light-hearted and digestible guide to being a PDA parent covering everything from tolerance levels, relationships and meltdowns to collaboration, flexibility, and self care to dip in and out as your schedule allows to help get to grips with this complex condition. This book is an essential read for any parent with a PDA child, to help better understand your child, build support systems and carve out some essential self-care time guilt-free.©2021 Eliza Fricker Children's Health Relationships Witty

To hear someone tell our story & experiences gives hope that some day, eventually, the paediatricians/experts/ professionals that we have to deal with will finally listen to what parents & children are experiencing and BELIEVE what we are saying & not dismiss our concerns, worries & fears for how our children are going to survive in the school system & offer the right support when it is so desperately needed. Thank you for your story.
