Welcome to another Episode of the Sew Flipping Extra Podcast!

A platform for me to express, explore, connect and over all be Sew Flipping Extra... why because that brings me joy.

What if you had to navigate the roller coaster of raising a teenager? Join me, Dani Dawks, as I recount the surreal experience of raising my now 18-year-old son, Kayden. I share humorous moments, like being mistaken for someone his age, and reflect on his remarkable maturity despite early homework struggles. Listen as I discuss the evolution of my understanding of ADHD and my contemplation on the benefits of an official diagnosis. Through the highs and lows of his GCSE journey, I express immense gratitude for our shared experiences and hope for our enduring positive relationship.
But that's not all! The episode also dives into the dynamics between Kayden and his spirited sister, Kallie. I reminisce about my own childhood and how it has influenced my parenting approach, emphasising the importance of nurturing love, open communication, and emotional openness. From tackling sensitive discussions about sex and relationships to fostering a supportive environment, I aim to break the cycle of internalizing struggles. Wrapping up, we explore personal growth and the pursuit of true happiness. Discover how positive messages can shape our journey to becoming the best versions of ourselves. Tune in for heartfelt reflections, practical parenting insights, and a sneak peek at an exciting event you'll hear about in the next episode!
