We all believe we are the lead characters in our own story only to learn in fact we are the supporting cast of everyone else’s experience.  Sonder is the realization that you are not the only one living with such chaos and complexity and that all people’s lives are unique, strange, chaotic, and complex, just like yours. You are not alone.

There are four key roles parents play when raising a child – Laurie Beth Morales

  1. The Observer – No advice, feedback, or opinions are given here.  Your job is to act as a sounding board and nothing more.
  2. The Consultant – Share your thoughts and perspectives w/out a stake in the outcome. The choice is theirs.
  3. The Negotiator – Here you need to make an appointment to discuss a deep dive topic. Otherwise, the timing might not be right. Keep it short and sweet.
  4. The Decision-Maker – There is no compromise here. My word is the final word. For matters of intervention and of a serious nature.
