“Parents never need to justify or apologize for challenges their child is having. I understand that children's challenges arise for a myriad of reasons and there is never judgement leveled towards the parents,” he says. “I love laughing and having a good time with my patients. I know that we often meet under stressed conditions, but laughing together is a great way to relieve tension and improve collaboration.”
