About Diapers to Diplomas | Genuine Parenting Conversations
Being a parent hasn’t really worked out the way you thought it would. Your child has unique challenges and you’re at a loss on how to help him. As a result of these struggles, cracks in your other vital relationships, hidden beneath the surface, have begun to emerge. Your faith in the Lord has become dim. Your spouse seems distant. You’ve become isolated from your community.
If your child’s challenges stem from disability, trauma, or adoption, you need someone who has walked a similar journey. Join Michael and Christy Pritchard as they reveal the Family Framework that kept their family strong for 10 years and teach you how to build your own.
Are you ready for your family to be filled with hope again? Join us as we build the relationships that matter…together.

The Power of Early Intervention
What should you do when your child begins to show developmental delays? The decision to seek help for your child versus waiting to see if he’ll progress on his own is a decision filled with fear and anxiety. What if your child never catches up? What if you make the wrong choice? Should you wait until your child is older to start therapy? The questions can become overwhelming.
That’s why we’re talking today with Janna Hacker, founder of Janna Hacker & Associates. Since 2009, Janna and her team of 30 therapists have provided speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral therapy services to over 10,000 children. With over 28 years’ experience in speech therapy, Janna has witnessed the profound effect therapy has on helping children overcome obstacles so they can soar to new heights.

Staying Connected to God When Your Child is in Crisis
Sometimes, God completely changes the script with your child. Everything is going well, and you have his future already envisioned. But suddenly, things take a sharp turn, and you have no clue how his life is going to play out. In fact, you’re just trying to figure out how you are going to get him to the next week. And you realize that the God you have put ALL your trust in is allowing everything to go off the tracks.
On today’s episode we are joined by Kris Hammons, an Indiana native, who now lives in Franklin, TN with his family of six. Kris shares the story of his son, Zacchaeus, who was diagnosed with two types of dwarfism and resulted in being in the NICU for the first 10 months of his life. Kris knows firsthand the difficulties of staying connected to the Lord when your child is in crisis.
Kris shares his story via writing and public speaking. You can find out more and follow him on social media by going to krishammons.com.
