Our Praise Party on March 6th was such a special day! We had cookies, played with toys and created prayer and wish boxes.

As a Child Life Specialist working with teens and kids who have special skin, there is one question I get A LOT. “How do I talk to my teenager, when they tell me they don’t like how they look?” Parents are so worried that they will say the “wrong thing.” And truthfully, I have spent …
