In this episode, Sarah and Laura open with a discussion of time spent on children's medical care even with largely healthy kids. However, they are aware this is minimal compared to the challenges parents of medically complex children face.

Her book on this topic -- Advanced Parenting -- is an information-packed guide on this subject and is available for preorder now wherever books are sold.

In the Q&A Laura and Sarah answer an unrelated question about meal ideas the kids will reliably eat!
