A Lifeline to Moms: God’s Plan for the Overwhelmed Mom with Guest Sarah Parshall Perry

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his candid and colorful conversation with Sarah Parshall Perry about the challenges of raising a household full of children - specifically two sons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a strong-willed daughter. She reminds parents that God is there for them and they are doing the greatest job of all, whether they know it or not. Sometimes, as a parent, you have to set aside your wildly unrealistic aspirations for the day, week, or year and realize that this may be one of those times where you just don’t get out of your pajamas.
