Little Kids: When Your Little Kid Isn’t Like The Others

How does having a child with additional needs affect parenting? And what are the correct terms to use?  Leigh and Tegan chat to Julie Mathers, a mum to 16-month-old Woody who lives with Down Syndrome, about what life is like with a child who has additional needs. Plus, Leigh’s WTF moment of the week was when she had to use a snot sucker on her sick little bub… But trying to pin a toddler down versus a baby is a whole different ball game!    CREDITS Hosts: Leigh Campbell & Tegan Natoli Guest: Julie Mathers Producer: Pariya Taherzadeh & Bridget Northeast CONTACT US Share your WTF moment by leaving us a message on 02 8999 9386.
