Hosted by Nicole Avery of PlanningWithKids.com, this family life gives everyday parents a chance to share their hard-fought wisdom. These aren’t bloggers or authors or even people with a big Instagram following. Instead, they’re everyday parents with practical, insightful, honest advice to share. Nic interviews parents who work full-time, mums on maternity leave, those whose children have special needs and parents with kids of all ages, and uncovers how they organise the chaos of their daily family life.

Hosted by Nicole Avery of PlanningWithKids.com, this family life puts the spotlight on everyday parents and allows them the opportunity to share the wisdom they have gathered throughout their years of parenting. They aren’t bloggers or authors or even people with a big Instagram following. They are everyday parents with practical, insightful, honest advice to share. They share what has worked and what hasn't, what they love about their family and the challenges they face. Nic interviews parents from a broad spectrum of family set ups - full-time working parents, single parents, parents home full time, parents of kids with special needs and everything else in between! Through her conversations, Nic uncovers how they organise the chaos of their daily family life.

In today's episode Nic chats with Susan about life with four kids, two of whom are on the spectrum, as well as her advice and insight into supporting a child with an eating disorder.
