#15 Normal Sucks: Living and Learning Outside the Lines

Welcome to the Parenting Well podcast with Parent Engagement Network!  I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host. And today, you are listening to Parenting Well, were we know that parenting well is challenging and that all parents are the best parents they know how to be.  We firmly believe that the foundation for raising happy, healthy youth is for us as parents to fill our own well with useful, reliable, credible information, tools and strategies.   So, let’s fill that well!   Today’s well source is Jonathan Mooney. Jonathon is an award winning writer, entrepreneur and activist. Jonathan didn’t learn to read until he was 12 years old. His new book is called Normal Sucks: How to Live Learn and Thrive Outside the Lines. As a neurodiverse writer, advocate and father, Jonathan shares a confessional and often hilarious story of his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to fix people and start empowering them to succeed.   Website: https://www.jonathanmooney.com   Book: Normal Sucks: How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines   Program: Eye to Eye Mentoring Program   Book: The Short Bus: A Journey Beyond Normal   For more information or to make a donation, visit www.penbv.org   Happy Parenting
